Natural Pressures

by Sam M. Phillips

Blood and bile,

Flood the Nile,

Denial of natural things

Brings nothing but death and doom,

Pushing your breath out too soon.

.

Gloom and gallows,

Loom in the shadows,

Windows into space,

Infinity follows at pace,

Lace my drink with cyanide.

.

Hide everything from me,

I don’t want to see,

Why can’t we be free

Of all the pressures?

Nothing reassures.

***

Four years in the making…

Jammed packed with fun ideas, complex characters, and snappy sci fi stories…
