  • 45 - Nightly

    Swallow me, night

    instead of this incessant chewing,

    cruel ruminations.

    No more spiked tongue, only of night, raking deep

    into and across my mind

    dragging neuronal connections from one painful thought

    to the next suppressed doubt,

    all treadmilling on memories of rejection.

    I forgive, night, your joylessness,

    but what about painlessness? My peace?

    Your emptiness is unbalanced, and thus

    depraved, perverse.

    We roll in twisted forms,

    tumbling upon the slopes of

    smiling incisors

    being chewed,

    ruminating,

    chewed,

    falling

    the same fall

    of yesterday's nightmare.

  • This is incredible. Love it.<3

  • I'm always, always in awe when I read your writing.

    Can't help but put myself there, inside the thoughts you've written down.
    It is possibly the closest one could say you're touching someone else's soul from a distance.
