Awake


I woke up today Then woke up Then woke up and saw a light so bright it blinded A light So bright it burned So bright it melted my eyes a little So that their essence pooled and fell Like a libation to past lives... Then I closed my eyes a little Just a little Just enough to dim the edges Just enough to blur the lines Just enough to live Enough to live in a world of wasps Enough to live in a world where vampires feed from the teet of life Where darkness runs free no matter where the sun is Where sharks dress up in suits Then poison and pollute past waters Id walk around blind if it meant I wouldnt have to see But even in a world so full of sight Eyes are useless in the dark I must be sleep...
