Conspiracy Of Life

Sometimes things are upside down
Malevolence has a stale air
The eyes are watching
We both feel on guard
There is "fight or flight" in the air
There is a flutter in the dark
My hands are at my head's defense

Death by Rabies
Is in the air

Trepidation is in my senses
I drop into the rocks
There is a deafening flutter
I am thinking about
How much time
What do I know about the death

I feel the bite
They are gone
I flush the wound with water
I'm thinking about the pain
Of medical treatment
I know this is a case of life and death
I think about death in quiet
