    tossin and turnin

    the quietest time and an
    eyes-closed moment share
    a bed under blankets of
    piss stained matress.

    if pillows could kill and
    the feeling of love
    disappears, what goes
    here in this hole i scream
    unanswered echoes into?

    where are you when you're
    frightened at night in the
    closet the clothes come to
    life and the kitchen begs that
    you take out a knife to defend
    against monsters, but noodles
    is all that you find.

    so your mind's changed and
    blindly you rearrange furniture
    shufflin slippers and slippin into
    a comftable position cause that's
    the next mission you find on the
    list of those things that most
    make you crazy.

    like listning and waiting.
    and having to sleep when
    you haven't decided what
    kinda dreams you prefer
    watching with eyes-closed,
    bones moaning and nose
    knowing that underneath blankets
    the smell of piss holds you captive.

    With your metaphors clamoring so, I'll be awake awhile tonight. Powerful read.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
