Tired and bloated. -filled to the brim with ******** that isn't yours, or theirs -nobody's- but the patterns that refuse to cease. point blank, a tweaze, small enough for a particle you swore to have seen but didn't. unravelling thread on pants, that, at one time, belonged to you. pulling up a shirt, showing skin, marked with beauty and growth blue and pale, shown to everything, but the sun. naked in the dark. a brief illumination of life, for a second that is too short to be a second, leading to a momentary darkness that is too long to be a moment. Timeless fragments of life splattered across the walls, floor, ceiling, -non-representational- like the emotions they once felt.

(& thoughts they once were.)
Tired and bloated. -filled to the brim with ******** that isn't yours, or theirs -nobody's- but the patterns that refuse to cease. point blank, a tweaze, small enough for a particle you swore to have seen but didn't. unravelling thread on pants, that, at one time, belonged to you. pulling up a shirt, showing skin, marked with beauty and growth blue and pale, shown to everything, but the sun. naked in the dark. a brief illumination of life, for a second that is too short to be a second, leading to a momentary darkness that is too long to be a moment. Timeless fragments of life splattered across the walls, floor, ceiling, -non-representational- like the emotions they once felt.
