Out of sheer exhaustion
endless nights feeding
on junk and pills
unable to sleep
but for a few choice hours
between bouts of indecision
regarding what to do next
i drag myself out of bed
after spending an hour
daydreaming of sleep
and stand in a cold shower
rubbing my eyes together
so hard
like i'm trying to scrape
away all the layers of membrane
that have been defiled
by what was witnessed
rubbing so that i could see
boundless explosions
of yellow stars
fireworks that look like pixelated
explosions of electrified wires
that were also veins
i see possibility in the darkness
and wish for sleep again
