sprinkling icicles plummett
through my skin revealing my veins
as if i fell upwards into a
stalagtite of melting wisdom still
freezing my courage and faith
behind fissures and pictures of burning thoughts

scorching...
charring..
de.l..iv.er..in..g

packages of exploding pain
like a suicide bomber

twinkling stars streaking
the atmosphere crashing into my mind
disintegrating my skull
frazzled and fractured from fantasies
dancing on dreams that
use nightmares as its ballroom dancefloor

twisting...
spinning.
sh.i..ve.rr..i.ng

/i/n/
deserts of chalky sand
s..e.e..p/ing
/i/n/
heated sights of afternoon
sle/e..p.i.n..g

curled up
left for dead
on pillows of dunes

doomed

sleep tight
for me

i'm
g.\on/.e
