Depleted
Summer sunshine, unable to brighten this darkened room. I am listening to the muffled breathing. My battery died, I’m unable to provide the time. Hope is unable to restore the […]
Placebo
There is no cure for this tragic circumstance. Cover your words. The treatment comes in a mysterious vial. It helps the fine linen on your lips. Something is better than […]
Damaged Days
I lie awake at night, unable to sleep. I have never felt the weight of chaos this immensely, so much time wasted in isolation. Now, I’m waist-deep in tragedy; the […]

Sanity is slipping — an urge to be unseen — wishes cast into an empty well

Dirty Napkin
Thoughts abbreviated. Plans enunciated. Lip stained.
