Spectral Secrets

 

I yawn and remain wakeful. I don’t
know why I keep this vigil. There hasn't
been a single night that gave a hint
towards an answer.

I refuse sleep as a refuge and I am not
wrong there. It offers subconscious
entrapments in fast-fading dream-mares.
I awake, already dreading yet wanting to remember.

Then forgetting anyway.

Then interrupted slumber brings me the
disorderly vomit of mind processing - a
pregnant sister drinking vinegar, a friend
bickering over clothing, distorted dogs - and

I
think, this isn’t helping.

Better to stay up, tap tap tapping across
the keyboard, turning it into a Ouija board
that could be, maybe, truly
connected to inner spectral secrets.
