I haven’t written in several days
Not because I’ve been better
But because I’ve been gone,
Lost in the bottle
That keeps me numb.  
I like it here
But I’m scared.  
I haven’t had the words to say
That get me through the bad days
Because when I lose myself
I lose them too.

'Private Messages'
are now called
'Direct Messages'.

Maybe it's because
They're not quite so
'Private', anymore.
That's mildly worrying.
(Not my idea but still worth writing about.)

I am dead

Maybe I will die today,
Maybe I am dead.
The song of day rattles in my head
As though it is the last
Of many faint tunes
Distant in blankets of snow
And tears ran cold.
And I think I am dead,
Lead me back for I am scared,
I know not where I step,
I know not of myself in this world
It all seems sad,
To wish death at mornings break
And to regret it within nights blinding dark

Night sits on my chest
Squeezes poems out of me
And grinds my poor soul

an overflowing

cup's a toroidal field...

like overhead strokes

upwards

to surfaceless heavens.

continually replenishing

the cup because the

rim was forgotten.
