Collapse Under Pressure

Fault line grinding

under mass

Plates locked rigid in the seam

Compression mounts without a break

Every pillar

forced to crack

Strain against the threshold

Friction builds until the break (now)

Total collapse bears down on the spine Standing unbroken against the descent

Refuse the collapse

Unyielding through the fracture (graaagh)

Tension snaps across the grid

Load-bearing anchors torn away

Static weight becomes a surge

Defying the downward fall

Strain against the threshold

Friction builds until the break (sever) Crushed into stone

Still

We resist

Total collapse bears down on the spine Standing unbroken

against the descent Refuse the collapse

Unyielding through the fracture (ugh) (die)
