Yesterday you stopped Eating for breakfast Good thoughts
MMXX
Yesterday you stopped
Eating for breakfast
Good thoughts
You were left one
On one with this
Virus of words.
Your dreams
As a black cloud
Under the chandelier
hung,
and behind them
Brought a light
Delirium and the chills.
You stood alone,
like an abandoned fleet,
Nerves — like
Burnt-out masts.
And sweeping the borders away
the downpour tore
Into your mouth,
Where the soul
under cement
Lay in a dungeon.
You screamed
Your sounds tore
From your chest and ran
Along the walls, shot-down
Chords
You had everything
Ahead of you, like everyone,
But somebody
Took a liking to
The chords of your life.
