Description
‘have pain, will travel’
these high hats make funny shadows of my hands
three for the price of one
like auras illustrating the way i feel
dark, grey and just a whisper.
i have no business writing under this light
it will only f**k up my sight, really
but anyone wondering what i might be up to
will bear witness to my laborious squinting,
my dogged approach, and not realize
the sheer amount of despair i carry.
