My ceiling is dreary The white paint Paled from the years Flaking and peeling I stare morbidly content
My heart yearns My memory flooding my head Images gloating of funs to be had Displaying first hand reminders The taste

A fluke encounter Letter after letter Turning me inside out Each new exchange Giving me
My pen is ravenous today My broken spirit Guiding its every stroke The blurred words Building rivers from my tears
