Knots undone

For a few minutes
I was lifted, stripped of weight, 
Burden, and cosmos. 
Men reached for my remnant, 
But that
Sanguine fury inside
Me was already 
Looking back.

Then, after my own sight
I fell
Past the past; 
I sunk
Amongst the history. 
Enticed by regret
I slept through
My own sepulchral.
