Life Brew

Tripping on my own shadow
sleeping as little as possible
feeding on stale crackers
and using pillows as masks
I go
living my days in pairs
while the shower is a river of handkerchiefs

I wake up to the evening news
the moon is my sun
and the whistling coffee pot my songbird
Her face is everywhere
my heart becomes an empty plastic bag
a merky fishtank
a cat ran over
by the garbage truck

I watch her slipping away
like a sad kid in the park
seeing his balloon fly into the air

Insomnia has become my best friend...I can't tell the difference between night and day anymore.

My bed has become an endless ocean of tears while I float in the middle of it playing these thoughts over and over again like a broken record.

Words have become weapons like daggers in a cutting board.

Actions have spoken for theirself...no need for words.

Me...I am back into the dark abyss I have known all too well looking for that lighthouse to show me the way.

You...where are you?
