Death and Burrow Owls

It's cold in here.

It's cold in here and my motivation is broken.

It's in the corner, down in a heap on my **** carpeting.

 

I should vacuum but i'm too brain dead to care about the state of my floor.

I'd rather lay here, in a heap on my bathroom floor,

Listening to gypsy punk and learning about burrow owls.

 

Later, my creativity is flowing.

I spit sentences onto sketchy pages

Cover them with subconsciously related pictures.

I rediscover drawing charcoal

And smear a dusky porch view out.

 

Glass boxes whir and ripple around me.

I fantasize about what it would feel like

To have my lungs flap open and sweep with water.

 

Sometimes I wonder if i'm dying.
