This is writing from being so tired that the my twisted mind worked,

Sleep existing in deprivation
Exhausting you senseless
In a numbed awakening of clouded thoughts
Drained physical abuse
Like hangover on waste lands

Living in eyes half open to any focus a thing
My hands reaching my face
Finding distortions of an acid trip

In cold chill of brittle spines crackling
Much like the sound of a cereal popping
Being drowned in chilling yogurt milk

Blue chill of pristine forgetfulness
Wrapped up in the ice of toes frostbitten
On a floor absorbing the vacuum
Of the heat of my existence

From void long ago in abandoned pains
The warmth cowers in a fading eye
In a tundra of six months of pain

Goose bumps grow in fertile soil
In reverberations found in aftershocks
Sending quakes of convulsions
Sending the covers flying over you

Heck with this I am tired
Of the mirror cracking in yawns
I am going to bed

Sometimes my favorite writes come from this place, but when there it is a rough existence. Good portrayal!!

you know what...I'm tired of my mirror cracking in yawns too...but I have a plan. I am going to woo Morpheus to my bed and hold him tight until he grants boon. Then I am going to sleep away a week.
Good poem. Not brain fogged at all.
