the idea insulates itself
inside my head

burrows deeply
& buried there. . .

an itch that cannot be scratched
an event horizon beckoning

where machinations splinter
& diffuse, expanding there

into indefinable nothingness. . .
persuading me to just a glance

alluding to the boundless
of which we're all unknowingly a part

& in my gesturing wisdom
a historian of blind wings

I turn away from shadow-self
annoint my inner child

renege vague defenses
before celestial hosts

as gravity shifts
as darkness dawns

& the sands of time
reframe the desert of my soul

the head-board creaks
nervously

crude, indifferent sleep
rages against meek dreams

surely, I have never been
so incomplete
