5th ANNIVERSARY GUEST BLOG 6, FEAR: SOLD, BY ELLE ESS


 Fear: Sold 


 Walking home from a nightshift in Sleaford 
 Moving from A to B 
 In a rough sequence of Muybridge movements 
 Stop motion 
 Stop the world from churning inside my brain 
 Stop my body aching 
 Like a bone refusing to knit unnerving photographs from the past  
 Super imposed on my conscience 
 From a time you pursued me down with a proposal 
 And I simply said yes 
 to settle 
 for less
