Melancholia

All these years;
the days spent waiting,
        hours just staring

at the walls.

All these years
of blunted & fading,
        wasted & wasting

melancholia…

I push my hands against the sides
of my skull & somehow
        somewhere between them

words form
& disappear…

Empty Today

Empty today.

Empty.

Today, empty grey sky gave way to weak purple light
& I saw small:
distant stars, so far apart…

Empty today.

Empty.

Today the walls will not look back at me
because vision is just a trick of the light
& so am I.
