ceiling
12.7.2006

depression as a
shadow spreads wings
on my ceiling

black and greasy on
the tiles
and trickling
like heavy lacquer
down the walls

smothering things
i have made my life
like newspaper clippings
and cartoons and photos
and drowning the bells
in my window

it smothers them all
sucking them up
like shadows
