loose threads

a smattering of things

  • Apocalypse so loud in my ears
    Stealing sleep from my eyes
    Follow a fan blade around until you get sleepy
    All I get is dizzy
    And none of it stops the end of the world from keeping me awake

  • You come to bed and when you reach for me,
    hands eager and fingers searching for substance,
    a spark leaps between your skin and mine
    A loud snap and we yelp
    rubbing our stinging flesh
    your finger, the back of my arm
