impossible to differentiate
a dark morning 
from midnight. 
throat enveloped in flames
lungs billowing
mind on a train
i've drugged my sleep-
Night speaks, 
and my mother whispers on the telephone.
charcoal sticks to my hands
pressing weight
leaning on walls
leaving traces as I touch it all. 
tough grip on reality 
elbow running red
scraps of skin
spreading palms
see me sweep crumbs
off the table.
casual sparks
stream by my window 
and I see rain
and the transparent clouds 
who gave you away.
