Numb

[Madasa Hatter]

High-voltage humming
I’m numbing my senses
climbing up on electric fences
as I climb higher
there’s barbed wire
that pierces right through my skin.
I used to be fierce,
used to have fire within.
I have been climbing for thousands of years.
Why I climb, I don’t know – nowadays I am numb.
Yet I’ll keep on climbing till kingdom come.
