Vessel

•

The tiny vessel of my being

Overflows

With intuition and words

It spills

From my fingers and throat

Touch me

To feel the warmth of my skin

On yours

We are painfully alive

We are

In this inhuman human chaos.

Nothing

•
In that moment
Of half sighs
I felt nothing
But a hand seizing
My pale throat
Shaking me
Shaking me
But I could not say anything
Nothing at all.
Empty spaces on my lips
Sit where words should have been
I lick and bite them
Again and again
My entire being in knots
I straighten shaking fingers
On the smooth brown desk;
Stable solid existence
In my world of winds and change
Constant change.

Trance

•
I am in a trance
One two many
I step in
I step out
What is real? Am I real?
If yes, how why?
What links me to this place
This space
What restricts me from floating away
Into nothingness?
I talk to the silence in me
It is a complete void
Full deep and living
A being inside my being
My bones ache with the burden
Of keeping me together
Thoughts of overthinking and doubts
Wound around my skin in knots
I will breathe, I will
My body will
Someday, I will too.

Chasing

•
We are living in a retrospective vision
Of today, in a tomorrow
That we are forever chasing
Until there will be none.
