Fight or Flight<\/h1>\n

by Erika Christie<\/p>\n

And it pours and it pours
\nHoles in the switchboard
\nCommunication through frayed and tired wires
\nMiles out beyond our reach
\nIf our wings could stretch out across the sky
\nFall into our arms, Find your head pressed against our chest
\nfeel the beats, examine its restlessness
\n\u201cYour loved ones are never coming home!\u201d
\nPardon me, Malaysia
\nYou swallowed up my reason for breathing
\nTrusting lungs burst from the pressure
\nRest in piece to those that live free
\nSpilling guts across the Indian Sea<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
