twentyone




After a night and morning of slipping into peaceful thoughts,

sudden as a ricocheting bullet,

your silence shaves cold slices of doubt through my mending heart.

I am left gasping for air,

as my heart and breath lose synchrony,

as my hands and my lips are shaken by

jolts of electrical energy which traverse me

like shivers in a dark, cold, and misty night.

I realize I have lost control of my heart,

which pumps on its own rhythm

a blood which I thought lost,

sprayed as it is on countless stones.
