Bones Oct 2024

Hidden

You glance at me once
There's no disgust in your eyes
I know you feel it.

Walls

Invisible walls
Block all human connections
I'll die in this house.

Life has no meaning
I search for one anyway
I fail and perish.

Wither

Bones Oct 2024

Wither

I lay in my bed
The plants on my shelf wither
I wither with them.

My veins are drawn taut
Fishing line beneath my skin
I extend outwards.

Ears

Ears

I speak for hours
Ears that can hear surround me
They do not listen.

Paths

Paths

Paths lie before me
It is too dark to see them
I look to the sky.

God

God

I look to the sky
And beg God for forgiveness
My plea goes unheard.

Teeth

Teeth

My teeth are too sharp
I bleed when I bite my tongue
I take out my tongue.

I have a paper
A plan vivid in my mind;
I throw it away.

Alarm

Bones Oct 2024

Alarm

My alarm clock breaks
The numbers freeze forever
Time stops for us both.

Dust

Bones Oct 2024

Dust

Dust collects in fall
Too high to clean by springtime
I cry in winter.
