My steps are echoed by no one's.
My loneliness synced with the moon's.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch the monster by the toe
It will holler,
Don’t let go!
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Eeny, meeny, miny, mite,
It will squirm and scream and fight.
It will pull your hairs and bite.
Just hold on, use all your might,
With all you’ve got, keep holding tight.
Eeny, meeny, miny, mite.

Eeny, meeny, miny, my,
When it stops to rage and cry,
Look the monster in the eye,
And ask it, why?
Just ask it, why?

Me, myself and I, are playing a game.
Me then, me now and me mental,
Are crumbling the shame,
Casting the blame,
Away from me,
Me then, me now and me later.

I’m repeating myself,
Repeating myself. Once, twice, thrice.
Grinding time to dust,
From dusk,
Till dawn.
Grinding, pestling, battering,
My life,
As I’m pressing on.
I’m running an endless marathon.

Night,
Sleeplessness,
Unsettled restlessness.
Relentless.
Voices,
Whirls in my head,
Reflecting, repeating,
Ceaseless.
Morning,
Repentful,
Resentful,
Forgiveless.­

One thought,
Replaced by one,
Other, still none,
Nother.
Flooding, dudding my mind.
Clotting, blotting behind,
My eyes.
Fixated, unfixed, entangled.
Unstable, at the end of my rope,
Strangled.
One body dangling,
Rangled,
Mangled,
Taut.
Head dropping, rolling on the ground,
Echoing,
One thought,
One thought,
One thought.

White pudding curving over the edge.
Soft and wobbly, flabby, flaccid.
Nearly, soonly, dripping, drooping, spilling out.
Trickling down the thigh, onto the floor, into the grooves, saturating fat.
So, a blank screen,
An empty puddle,
A knife.
Just to check the teeth, the hair, the eyes.
