☆sink☆

air is smooth

earth is gray

colorless bliss

lully me away

the world wants me to forget

heavy blanket covers my head

earth is hollow

calmlike dread

the night weeps into mud

mushed watercolors

wet country roads

the fabric of the universe

rips at my toetips

how can anyone live like this?

i slip through the trees

grasp the branches

tugging at my hair

ripping out something else

somewhere

i can’t think

draining down the holes 

in my sink

i am the blood 

and i am the spit

i run thick

a pool of muddy water above me

spiraling around 

like whirlwinds in my mind

engulfing all that is around
