Poem: 2am

 

2am

 

chill tightens around the screen

like a celsius of snake

menacing an egg,

my eyes twin fidgets in the yolk,

so small.

 

from here to the depths of Cetus,

the only lamp is this dim square,

bugaboo of joules,

spooky against the feral flesh

of the night.

 

my hands run like spiders,

do not ‘straddle the velvet’

as my mind perceives to wish,

contemplating as i am

the flight the Dipper.

 

no thread attached to the real

as i click to glibly type

fast as i can in this uncertain place,

lost in the qualms of a somewhat sleep

which hints at death.
