another spent hour in the corners of my heart
because central, there's never enough light to the dark
persistent downpour of intangible rain
no antidote strong enough to thaw out my brain

hooked in a rhythm, perpetually aligned,
reeling through each moment I fail to define
marked recalls of others,
the pivotal pivot
your hands on my face
your teeth in my vision

uselessly used and again thrown away,
you walk from the atrophied heart on display.
