I can feel the quietude of an entire ice age breaking in upon my weary mind in this, the witching hour of my life- where topsy-turvy seconds spill from mislabeled vases in a haste that bursts spinning, smoking tires, where treaded water boils, where the pale face of ignorance smokes a skinny cigarette beneath a naked lightbulb on a bare matress in a quiet studio in a deafening city-
I can feel my cells collapsing under the weight of the metal in my blood, the smog in my lungs, the grease in the hair on my heavy head- the fear... fear of icebergs descending into unimaginable depths fear like a kite at the end of a piece of taut red yarn fear that steals my breath from me that crushes the soul into soundless, whitewashed rooms.
