NO EYELIDS

 

Something in me is rejecting life

Bite by barfed-up bite

Like a bowl of spoiled spaghetti

The very notion that God

Is working to heal my soul

Is met with a twitch

A tremor in which I shrink, sink

In worship of insistent witches

I've been enslaved by the enemy

Want to be friends with me?

I don't blame you, neither do I
