backbone of jelly -
creature made of porcelain -
I am both - under

I can't see the path
the fog has closed in - I move
inch by inch - the cliff

tide pool - shadow - edge -
heroin - sleep - sea of clouds -
loneliness - escape

I see the mirror
and the fragments of eyes - melt
boiled cabbage smell

a sliver of light -
maybe, maybe - a photon
of promise - of life

sunset Groundhog Day -
to accumulate worth and
make life meaningful

I grasp at straws as
they blow away in the wind -
tomorrow scares me
