Mar 2015
Darkness surrounds me,
My left arm holds
My iPhone aloft.
A light shines down on
My face. Its pale face

A light in the darkness.
Beside me is my lover,
She -- worlds away in dreams.

I read the words
From worlds away
On Twitter.
On Facebook.
On Reddit.

Netflix draws me in.

My phone,
With white face
And shrouded in darkness,
Holds her chord,
scythe-like
Across my chest.

Serving to sever my soul
From this life around me.

Merely a psychopomp,
The reaper ushers
Souls into the abyss.

They lose touch with this world.

I lose touch with this world.
My mind is worlds away.

I lose touch with this life.
