i'm as blank tonight
as a sheet of paper
and i've been waiting for the ink
to fall on me
and pour out a few bones.

i'm as lost
as a ship at sea
in a storm so dark
it eclipses night
and bends the flesh to knee.

i'm as sick
as a cancer
eaten up with regret
so deep
i cannot see the bottom.

i'm as bitter
as wormwood
green as a leaf
in a pool of disbelief
