sleep no more
Added 2023-01-09 02:12:45 +0000 UTCthe sharp edge of life
like an ice pick,
this razor-edged clarity
vibrant colors pulsating, undulating
with opened eyes wide so wide
i gasp, tremble, weep, rejoice
rouse in the dance of the serpent
all surrender to Her raw magnificence
but stay sedated, you stay
i understand—know the pain well
some days i’m lulled into anesthesia
unexpectedly: a stroke of grace
i cannot sleep anymore
i cannot sleep anymore
