punchy
from sleep
deprivation
yet electric
from a quick
weekend in
knoxville at
the tennessee
book readers
convention
where an
electic gathering
of some of my
closest friends
spent two days
laughing while
shilling books

a warm tinge
to sheer exhaustion
three days spent
without my phone
untethered to
the electronic
madness momentarily
as the images
which spiral in
frantic fragments
filter slowly
through my mind
wispy wonderment
cast in myopicmiasma
ever swirling in
the gently lapping
waves of black hovering
just at the edge
in haunting flashes
