Discontinuity

Eric Morales 1998 (Palmdale, CA)



In the night

Sleepless, shaking, sadness
Tragic, thrashing, throughout
I've been lost
Laying, loathing, lifeless
Lonesome, living, laughless

Looming, lost, love
Occasional, outbursts, of
Very pointless efforts
Empty, empathy, expressions

Yet, yearning, you
Ongoing, occasional, onslaught
Used heart bled

Blood, beating, bound
Ultimately, utterly, unfound
Thoughtlessly, trusting, though

Your honey words
Often, overly, overwhelmed
Until, unfortunately, underground

Although, always, apart
Repeating, remembering, regressing
Every little memory

Gilded, glitter, gladiolus
Open, offers, ominous
Noxious, nightshade, needle
End it all
