fridays

,

friday mornings like tiny holes drilled in my head

empty spaces breathe in and out, widen and tighten

thoughts float in rough spun ether, their ends withered

/

my persona stands outside of itself, tethered but fluent

/

lately I lie awake and my mind swims through rivers

ever flowing, they take me through hypnagogic landscapes

entire worlds to distract from the whistling of my shivers

/

some days I simply am not here

and still dread cloaks me, despair

even burrows itself in my skin

pulling so hard I may become bare
