“Inward Erosion”

manic panic

shocked, bleached, & colored

sitting on the stoop

forearms on knees

head buried

tired

of being

that way

random thoughts

a fuzzy collection

numerous simultaneous connections

create pensation

a mood attached to every thought

fought fought won lost

each line holds an idea

that line held the idea that each line holds an idea

four memories crashing into each other

four photographs shuffle

& fold

a candle is blown out

three heartbeats & a baboom

inward erosion
