staring at the door
i dreamt it was your birthday
and that i loved you
map the universe
calculate every outcome
never live a day
i started typing
and kept going and going
until my hands bled
we danced and we danced
we gave a blood sacrifice
but the rain still came
i started typing
and kept going and going
until my hands bled
having faith in doubt
all metaphysical thought
stems from fear of death
there is no bus home
everyone singing a song
that i didn’t know
it knows everything
knows where you’re vulnerable
knows all your secrets
i’m in a sitcom
i’m swimming in the harbour
my limbs lose function
a huge chimera
part wolf, part wasp, part human
i’ve named him Eric
one after the next
wake up behind the wheel
the fog is so thick
banished as a child
a world inside a painting
slowly rots away
fear creeps up my spine
the sense of being followed
from each dark corner
