human anatomy
well-developed defense mechanisms
aren't easily dismantled
and tools of survival
readily become weapons to crush--
as blood is compelled to surge
only to choke
the animal is driven to seek life
in spite of its limb.

Rachel,
Fabulous to have you back. You know I'm one of your fans!
We have to be careful our armour doesn't end up suffocating us. I can relate to this one..

Silence is something of a conundrum: both hard to keep and difficult to break.
Thanks to all for reading.
Rachel

Insightful, as always, Suki. You are part of the draw that keeps me coming back.
