bottles

stuffed inside, locked away,
saved, forgotten
for later.

fester and grow,
ferment and ripen,
grow, grow, grow.

stretch inside, lengthening,
expanding against,
testing walls, chains,
growing,
always growing.

trapped within, hidden from sight,
there, always there.

growing, still growing.

find more free, must lock away,
stuffed within
bottles, silent bottles.

bottles fill, rattle and shake,
angry, so angry.

always more, always growing,
growing growing growing.

glass aches, stretched.
still more,
keep filling.
growing, growing.

growing. growing.

break.

shatters.
stained shards.
crimson glass.

empty.
