Finally a day devoid of sharp edges. The world in focus. For a moment. Enjoy. Insomnia burns like Saint Augustine's fire. Nights much longer than swooning pig *******. Days that shimmer, stab, shake and ****. Aching eyes and aching I. Queasiness. Every eternal question demanding answer. Random blasts from unwelcome pasts. Useless drugs. Alcohol too much pain. Eventually, to sleep, to dream. Oblivion attained. But then, it all begins again. ~mce
