i've ceased to wander or wonder, found a position to stay crouched in, huddled in the necessary and reliable pocket between a lover's arm and torso. i'm not safe here, but i am safer. i am not dreaming in arsenic and cyanide when he wakes me, i am not singing wings and guns drawn. i am lucid and intangible and unstable, off medication and i don't answer questions i don't recognize. the moat just beyond my skull, cradling my brain, is filled with a sloppy, dirty flotsam and jetsam of things i should have said and things i know i am not above resorting to. barefoot, bed-less, un-showered, chapped.

i'm depressed still, aching to function. i'm manic with eyes wide and i'm lost with an only consolance the suffocatin of bed sheets and humid air.

i sing in the shower; i can't keep wanting to breathe, and dreaming to drown / i can't want to hold on and still let myself down.
