...the junk drawer of my mind... look if you want. you might find dreams scraps (maybe featuring you?), poem scraps, ideas unformed or abandoned, dried out sharpie pens, 37 cent stamps, lies and red-herrings, lip-gloss and assorted dangling and/or misplaced modifiers.

The Basement is a Psychological State
and the psychiatrist, directed you, "Go there.
But go alone.
Meet the demon."
I hate him for that.
It was too much, for you,
atremble with nightmares
alone at the end of your life
in the middle of your life.
I run my hand, here now,
along this brittle wallpaper.
I feel lives, and ours, flake away
under touch. But that is not
the scary part.
Ahead is darkness
never-ending,
just there
or pulling us closer.
In time, we all enter, seeing nothing,
not even our own boundaries of self
sense: presence
We can hear him
breathing.
At some point
Erubus will speak.
We wait for that.
There is nothing else to wait for.
