The light fades to nothing
The light fades to nothing
And I stand alone in the dark
Looking through a blue bottle of glass.
Little streaks of colour
Trickle through the cracks
Of the window
The colours wave in the room
And are stained by the darkness
Absorbs and disappear
In the depths of my skin.
A pale blue shade
Stirs in my mind.
Scours the dreams
With a criminal's intent.
Rummaging for evidence
Of a single coherent thought.
Dust, like fingers
Or fingers like dust
Gropes my face,
Vibrates, a little in the air,
And cease into space.
Little dots of light
Run behind my eyes
My mind is ahead of me
I can find no rest
Unspoken words
Are whirling at the edge of my fingertips
I am staring blindly
At the white patch
Scratched in the waste of my remembrance
