lack of sleep is a muscle made of black threads, ember eyes. you stitch them to a pillow case, unable to feel the powdered sand. your hands close over the loneliest body, like the honeyed taste of broken bread. your imprints imbibe empty moments to wonder why she's not here. was she ever? close your eyes. imagine the embers. rose-laid sand. |

CocoBaci, Thank you. S'en, Ah, so you're telling me to seek out your poem "invisible comfort"? Will do -- right after Thanksgiving. ethome, Thanks for reading. Blah, I don't want her. nakdthoughts, You're welcome. Butterfly Slippers, Well, blood has its own beauty I guess. As you can see, I'm STILL sleepy. SEA, Glad you could make it out. Seriously, thanks for reading, and I have plenty more stored somewhere. They just haven't fallen out of my mind onto paper.Mike |
