I closed the gates,
Blocked any entry; withstanding the voices.

It didn't last.
Just made them infuriated, angry, and upset.

She tore the hinges off.

The expansion of the creatures tripled,
And they flooded my temple,
Intoxicated my rivers,
Shredded my central nervous system,
And burned my pebbles of grief.

I felt everything at once.
Then like a flick of a switch,
I became a robot.
With unyielding manners,
Discombobulated emotions,
And mute.
