cells
I slipped into the cracks between my fingertips
The cells there were large and vast
It’s somewhere between there
And the cold hard pavement I walk
A fine line
A line that’s fine
Ever so fine
Between the real and the imagined
From the ring on my finger
To the insect crawling on my shirt
From the pressing of a hand against my arm
To the calling of my name from outside the window
The man in black waits for me
La Premiere has gone away on a trip,
Leaving me alone here to battle my inner demons
Don’t forget the ones one the outside as well
So inside my cells, I am fractured
Splintered, shattered
Shrinking away
Gone from here and soon I will disappear.
