Asylummn

wind battling desert leaves.

pentacles. spectacles.

same thing.

Make use of me.

Body, mind, exuberant exaggerated display of emotion

Musk, dry after contact taste.

Ripples of torment flowing through my circulatory system.

Take the pressure off your body.

Don't speak again.

Lips closed together.

Eyes closed as well,

as long as you can't see,

others can't see you.

those real feelings.

Because we all have them.

airless, numb.

Heavy. Heavy. Heavy hearted.

Calling out.

Dark cave.

oxymoron.

we're in another world.

Kiss you on camera.

Speak my language.

Listen, projections.

try.

shoulders continually shrugging.

jump jump jumping.

lightnin' bugs.

plastic lizards.

hiding in a coat closet.

retreat to childhood innocence

still no solace.
