Know one, no all

Eyes wired shut.

I know no pain.

These fingertips, numb.

I know no shame.

Head aches, so strong.

I’m willing

To fill

In the blanks.

Equivocal,

Cylindrical,

Thinking,

And bounds unknown.

Simplify,

Quantify,

Thinking,

Of a dream I own.

Heart, slow to beat.

Thin are these veins.

Arteries torn.

I swing in defeat.

Twisted, contored,

I walk,

I stumble,

with broken feet.

Equivocal,

Cylindrical,

Thinking,

And bounds unknown.

Simplify,

Quantify,

Thinking,

Of a dream I own.

Ease of the moment,

I momentarily relapse.

Lungs unjust,

I adjust my breath.

Pulsating, so weak,

I jump,

I fall,

Unto the concrete.
