the liquid over my eyes does not tingle with every ****. instead it fades. quickly. the snowflakes dance around my thoughts, piercing the shadows. i try not to stare, but i know the enigmatic art does not exist. saucy and treacherous, i emit a howl that illuminates images that only i can see. i'm not crazy. my heart has been permanently severed, and it beats to the rhythm of every pill i am forced to swallow.
