there seems to be
a black cloud hovering
just over me
a corpulent storm
forming full of
dire tidings

a flash flood warning sounds
the mania shifting toward
the negative pole
a resounding sounding
a repellent repugnancy
as like charges
do little to sustain
a semblance of home

a jagged sine wave
showing wasted potential
a redundancy of
rapid oscillations
stuck in a loop
curved in imitation of her smile

in this ever shifting
state of exhausted hope
i yearn to sleep free of
whatcouldhavebeensflashfrying
an already nervous system
at the edge of collapse
