Explosion

There was a time that I came close but I suppose we always think we're close.

Moving and reaching and grabbing and shoving...

Always forward, it's always so close.

Getting closer and closer.

Can't quite grasp it.

It nearly touched the fingertips but was just out of reach.

Crawling and inching.

On the belly.

In the dirt.

Covered in mud.

Slithering and burrowing.

So close now.

Closer than you've ever been.

So close now, so fucking close.

Can nearly feel it.

On the brink.

Can taste it.

Salivating.

Explodes.

Trapped underground.

Farther than you’ve ever been.
