Yesterday was a wreck

The smell of wet wood

And salty tears

Overflow my senses


Am I a honey bee

Or a wasp

Stained with benevolence

Or perhaps not


Dark purple circles

Under my blank eyes

Yellow raincoats

Contrast the gloomy sky


Ornate chapels

Iron bells ring

Wilting weeds sing

Crushed under pillows of snow


I wish I was a sailboat

Drifting afloat

Wandering the Earth

But I am a whirlpool instead


Consuming myself

And left with nothing

But the stench of petroleum

Swirling around my body


If I am coated in indigo

Will I garner any allure

If I adorn myself in jewels

Will I shine any brighter


I can feel the abyss looming

Shifting closer

With every breath

Inhale

Exhale

Closer
