Skin splitting softly under pressure,
teeth clenched tight through mercury rain.
My mind, a rainbow hoarding treasure,
roots twisting upward through my brain.
Static dripping from the ceiling,
blackened ivy splits the tile.
I counterfeit the art of healing,
grinning with a feral smile.
Neon insects flood the hallway,
porcelain dissolves to steam.
I hide my heartbeat in the doorway,
feeding splinters to the dream.
