a flick of a switch

and darkness crept into each corner of the room,

tracing each surface

and caressing each crack  

until each speck of dust

breathed in black.

a slight sigh

left her lips

and hung momentarily in the air -

feelings

that seemed so effervescent in the day

dissipated swiftly

as soon as they came.

and soon

A cloud hanging above me,

black and thick like a pool of tar,

I don’t think I can go very far,

all I can muster is simply be.

the same wounds keep opening up as fresh,

this existence is mostly void of joy,

Insignificant Insignificance eats at inner ear

Shards of sharp shrapnel strip shreeking skin

Unforseen, unseen, unforgiving,

Protruding, penetrating, pessimmistic

Closed minds opens eyes visions.

Escaping winds sweep, swept

Past's present forgets future's flames

Burning chips, flake, flick, flicker

Crackling crass crackled cracked cracker

Whispering Shi...
