i lay there under blinding light   the drip counting seconds i cant recall   something in me fried clean through   some part of my mind that once reached out   now nothing answers   someone turned away   because of something i said, or didnt   a carelessness, a fevered spark   i cant trace the wound   but i know it came from me   if this is punishment   please cauterise my injury   and let the burn erase   whatever version of me   hurt them enough to disappear
