morning but not really

it’s 2am and i’m still lying awake

with thoughts in one hand and feelings in the other.

how can i go to sleep with a head full of stars

and my face running away

up into the sky

looking for the moon?

    i sit and stare out the window

    stare out the window at the brown dead grass

    the dirty snow melting into muddy slush

    the mud that is criss-crossed and destroyed with ruts and tire tracks

  • face

    my face is a cage

    and the doves inside are suffocating

    in a pile of their own shit

     

    my arms are broken wings

    and their featherless forms are useless
