I can hear your toes twisting
I feel that if I look, Ill regret what I see
my third eye tells me
you'll be hovering horizontal just above the bed
toes swirling
arms lifted backward above your head
sleeping softly.
I love you so much
I cant stand to see you this way
so Ill bury my head and pretend
its ok
its ok
its ok
feet maneuvering
sounds creeping closer
god please stop this
breath
this chaotic silence

I got this ghostbusters line in my head and I gotta spit it out, sorry. Four feet above the bed! aside from the out of tune line... this did give me a feeling like mabilicious says, of some dreaded impending event. A certain flavor of suspense and something of possession of the dybbuk sort. I like the oxymoron... chaotic silence. very artistically expressed!

Written with a sense of understanding, the sought of stuff that makes you aknowledge your own pulse, loved it.
