Another Night

Dark circles mark 
another night without rest. 

Another night with dreams 
too lucid and nightmares 
too obscene. 

Another night with a mind 
restless and writhing 
in every position. 

Another night with blankets 
in a choke-hold until light 
overcomes the curtains.   

Another night gone... 

And marked solely 
without rest.

The Takedown

I look back and remember 
how carefully I placed 
all these photographs in 
these cheap Tjmaxx frames... 

Three pristine prints 
in complete symmetry. 

The glass left 
free of hairs...
stubborn dust... 
and fingerprint smears...  

Hanging in perfect unison.  


But now... 

Now I can't even look at them 
long enough to take them down.

Mind Fucked

There it is... 


The 
inevitable 
feeling 
of  
constriction 
and 
suffocation 
from 
nothing 
more 
than  
my 
own 
intrusive 
thoughts... 


I almost missed it.

Absently

Absently she peers 
into a memory, 
with empty eyes and an 
eyebrow arched... 

Stubbornly lost 
in the same thoughts,  
she's unable to depart...
