The derision of one fading * further and farther* into obscurity

The time I’ve spent
Loitering over the areas of my deficiency

The time I’ve spent
Loitering over the areas of my deficiency

The time I’ve spent

It’s cold
Barely freezing temperature
Because the bodies Lain next to me
Are all ghosts

-But one
Of my few
Invariable truths
Locked in

Down within my closet
Lay skeletons
Bones of a past
Forgotten
In order to last

Cavities
In the deep
Frightening
Solitude
Of another night
Shine moist

Miracles

Light

Bright
In the slightest
Of all whimsical

So laughable
And I’m utterly free
In the belly of my dream

Until
I wake
Weep
Un-answering
Rivers
Strewn on rocks
Shattered
Into rainfall
On my blanket
Drop
By drop
Between tiredness
Between egotistic dreams
And wakeful lonesomeness
They dry

Company
Is company
Even within dreams
Within animals that fetch and eat
For some
Animals fetched to eat

Warm milk sap
From mother
To child

If I were
Only to
Come home
