Day 3, F1.3 Pwca

Wear Your Amulet

When worries, frustrations, and fears
disperse
throughout the mind
whirl in eddies
and begin filling to the brim
the Pwca starts bloating
leading your vehemence
slowly
in stygian
on the brink of a precipice
reverberating with the
menacing peals of Pwca’s
laughter
bubbling you in an
uncertainty
petrifying you

Put a full stop to overthinking
Burst the monotony
and follow the course that
the heart longs to meander
for it is an amulet
preventing you
from
slipping into the chasm
