Desperate

Folder: 
2016

Drowning in empty rooms

pulling at nonexistent

strings hanging from my clothes

 

Ripples in the sea of calmness

around me, even

when everyone’s sleeping

 

Desperate,

I sneak out to meet the madman,

pick the slivers from the sky

and gift them in a basket to him

 

I shouldn’t have been hopeful

Grinning, he pours nothingness

right into my hands.
