Journal:  -------------------------------------------Mood: The UsualThings I keep in me:
1.
Look at me from all angles,
I am a person composed entirely
of a turned-away back.
What shape is a heart? It is
the roundness of shoulders,
the scapula's heavy curve.
2.
I do not want. Full stop. Things
happen to me, are done
to me. Passively, I am defined. Passively,
I am worn. Passively, I am soothed.
I don't remember what desire means. I do not have
the desire to remember.
3.
Long hours replace long hours. Nothing
gets done. Long hours find me thinking
of long hours, ad infinitum. I have come to know
such a circling world. I have come to know
the damning pressure.
4.
So it is that repetition suits me.
5.
I spend a great deal of time sleeping.
Just that. Motionless, breathing
only lightly. I clench my teeth
till my jaw stiffens.
6.
And I wake up, again and again. I am
always asleep. I am always
waking up in order
to sleep....Created 2010-09-04 21:45:57 |
