Insomnia

Who was it? Cioran? ″What is one crucifixion To the daily kind Of the insomniac″ Sardonic cackling As I tumble outside The sun′s too bright The streets too loud I feel my lungs But not my hands Were my teeth always this many? 1,3,6, numbers bleed and lost again 98 hours all at once, all too fast Too intense and numb and crisp Caught in the wake of my wake Taking in, terrified The tumultuous totality Never stopping Even when I close my eyes They won′t stay shut Gut in knots Why won′t they shut And voices keep The growing noise The grating laughs shut up shout! Apologies, I was... Nevermind Mind the path The pavement keeps Escaping the length of my legs Breaking the flow of my gait Breaking my fall. Hands. Fuck. Still numb at least Serpentine sanctuary Temple on cold stone Offbrand cryostasis Oasis of calm Shut leaden lids Turn Off
