skinny close your eyes

find a place you can get lost,
somewhere
away from this parade,
where the carnival lights
show us what we're after
where the handshake disease
doesn't spread.

head down.

the room is inverted and pulls from inside of you.
smothers your skin like a heavy sweater,
leaves you unexposed.
you are filled with words
chimed by enemies
played on repeat.

eyes closed,


forgot you even had them.

images incarnate through objective desires
hints of stars and
shadows from orbit.

well i hope you remember me
the owl in your daydream
singing from the forest,
in a tree
as the sun reaches its climax
and all becomes formless
under the shadows of passing clouds.
