Description
It's Saturday night and I'm trying to take the most confusing self portrait I can.Strewn out across the top bunk
With mussed up sheets that just won't stay in place
Arms and legs stretch toward the too-close ceiling
Wumbling around in the air like dominoes in a wind tunnel
Skin on skin tingles with cold
Fingers wrapping around toes around arms around legs around neck
An amalgamation of skin and life
The most confusing self-portrait I can muster.
But there is no camera.
Because who the hell has time to hold a camera?
Gravity pressing on my bones
A ball of gravity in an everyway-reaching trench of dark matter
A trench leading into a world of, again, who the hell really knows?
I am a bundle of moving cells in an ocean of infinity
Reaching to the ceiling
Shuddering
Breathing
Existing
It's Sunday night, and I'm trying to take the most confusing self portrait I can.
