sleep betrays me again

there are faces in the artex that only i can see

i melt at thirty seven degrees

i want to break your heart

there is a dead star in the night sky with more hope than me

have i ever been bitten by a shark before

i can feel the teeth puncturing my skin

how soft my leg would feel between its jaws

how it would drag me down

the water turning red around me

before oblivion

and sleep at last
