Description
It's not the cold, it's
Suffocation,
Because the moisture froze and fell
Leaving me breathless; how cruel
To give me what I need and then
Watch me choke on it.

I could smoke a bowl, I could take
Melatonin, NyQuil, Benadryl,
But I'm too tired to stand,
But my heart is beating
Too fast to sleep.

I cleaned my room and the energy is still swirling
In all the newly open space,
Balance is closer but the assemblage left a tension,
A ball balances at the fulcrum, an itch
For entropy.

I am full of all the wrong kinds of love
And misplaced creativity, and wifi passwords for houses
That aren't homes anymore,
And bubbling, broiling beauty that
Stays walled up, whirl pool, behind a dam
In my head.

The pressure builds, my ears pop,
I should just float, but instead I have to climb to the top,
This is the kind of animal that was never in a cage,
But I still need to let it out.
