Sleep


Eyes flutter shut The world cuts out like a light Darkness unsettled like dust Black clouds pregnant with nothingness They pour onto the earth and consume it Thoughts float away, Red feathers in the wind Colors run off Wet and soggy Red drips, turns brown Dark puddles of feather mush Sinking into the earth The black nothingness falls out of the sky Flooding, breaking levies I’m too weak to hold anymore It spills over, black smoke My lungs fill up on black Blackness and dark dirt Black, bloody, wet feather mush sinking, thoughts drowning Converge on to me And that’s it No consciousness
