dreamsplinters
plunged deeply
into the prismatic
diminishment of
distilled distraction
a dire sense of
life ebbing away
shuffling among
the morose comatose
as machines wheeze
in a disturbed travesty
of purloined peace

an ocular omission
in squiggly lines
swimming in a
mercurial fount
shifting perspective
in upside down
mistranslations
pinging rods and cones
shivering synapses
an electrical storm
with cold lightning
bursting aspirations
