Double Espresso Keep dancing around on icy leaves;
toes frozen,
my ghosts chasing each other,
charging, violently,
mashing into one another,
a whole mess, a disaster made out of
my past and my ennui.
Enough - I'm tired,
I want this to end,
And I want it to stay the same
as change plants catastrophic seeds,
and has claws
and big, terrible fangs,
and mutates inside me
and it always hurts so much
and I'm always alone by the end.
Keep dancing around on cold, distant thoughts,
on resolutions I don't accept.
I have shoes just a number too big and
my hopes are also loose on me,
since I lost weight in the aftermath
of me running after my ghosts, asking them
to please, please
give me one night's rest.
