drained

one thousand volts of static air bend and break and turn your eyes into beams of phosphorescent light.

~~~

pick a color

pick a number

your predicament awaits.

your slender wrists

& washed-out hair.

give me a time 

give me a place

my eyes are still blinking.

my grieving mind

& false alarms.

slow your steps

slow your words

your lazy pen scrawls.

those duvet clouds

& cigarette butts.
