We Create Our Own Monsters; Self-Rejecting Perceptions
every 2am shadow dance
i try and sit up,
but slowly fold into myself
nursing an ongoing insomnia with shaky hands
adjacent the company of used needles
tenuously connected to
spattered spools of fraying thread
from the repeated and futile attempts
at surgically salvaging
this chimeric malformation
of an over-edited heart
lately i've become more and more suspicious
of it's ghoulish reanimation,
rather than it's inevitable failure;
legitimately tolerating much too much
and aborting then evacuating itself
from my inhospitable chest cavern
---the abandoned cage of a feral animal
that knows the secrets of the sunrise
