Zip down Zero
spellbound
Zip down Zero
flicker, flicker, beckon bicker
hold your breath, the air gets thicker
eyes roll, savouring the bitter
now scurry forth, scavenging critter.
morsels all around,
scarcity bound,
without sound,
loops circle 'round
find what’s lost, see what’s found
let go the rope which keeps you bound
recoil, come forth
sidestep the course
understand the force
vanish remorse
discover the source
root outcome, concealed
blaring suddenly, open field
skin torn, flesh peeled
soon to be revealed.

The alliteration in this first stanza does something astounding. I want to read it over and over just to feel the sound of it in my mouth.
"let go the rope which keeps you bound" great line and great poem, mate! Have a wonderful Saturday!
