Literature Text

No friend of stars, I
saturnine, mercurial
will bow under the weight

of

    my

heavy eyes

dragged under riptides in gravity,
storms of fate lashed to the brink
of tomorrow.

And what a day these asinine hours
do make; these nightmare gatherers
and foolish wayfarers. Foil to blank
verse, slave to open windows
and latent noise, I-

grey of heart-

can no longer rest in this bed;
exist in knowledge.

Some foundation shook, tectonic
when the grave of dreams was gnawed
to pulp by shifting molars. Now,
in the silhouetted mouth of her (earth-like,
lovely) I am no more than nutrients-
digestible proteins, suitable to fuel
the next endeavor.

And She is black, whole
impossible to see
until light caves in on itself.
Perhaps.

I feel better having written this out of my head and onto the page, so to speak.

Perhaps now I can go to sleep without a logjam of jumbled thoughts.
