Through the Black Window
Imagination thick with guilt
and cut glass on the window sill
just to ward off breaker’s in
or those who are no longer friends
Painted window blackened ink
as dark as fallen ship wrecks sink
into the void of sound and sight
the ocean’s gulping, heaving bite
Solid me through thick and thin
I bolt my heart to my spine within
and cut off contact with the rest
less fall into the viper’s nest
Hole me up in my blind room
Tell me that you’ll be here soon
Feed me your uncertainty
before you snap your fingers free
Sight dissolved from want of heart
never wished to be apart
scrape the paint from off my pain
as I’m a long way from insane.
