the world melts into
hypnagogic transience
as i sit seeking her
in the chaos above me
swirls of obsidian
a knife’s edge in
shimmering oblivion
sheers the heartstrings
until the muscle hangs
fractured in rapture
wheezing machines bellow
clouds of billowing night
a thinkness of thought
ensnared in rigorous denial
falling into elliptical
electron orbits as charges
fade in this monomolecular
grievance against homeostasis
tripping over unspoken words
that litter the hells
clogging synaptical regression
in these drifting droplets
of moonlight despairs
this hypoallergenic reaction
to a hypnagogical haze
unsure if the tears are made of
sorrow or sleepless dismay
