A single thread of silk
struggles to bind together
a stubborn love
and a life insisting on resisting.
In terror slumbers
and misguided dreams
I trash from side to side
until I wake barely covered
by a few threads
Pulling me back from tumbling
deeper in the dissociative mummers
deeper than the madness has ever dropped me.
The pearl in the sky
warms my unusually cool skin
as I toil with the remaining tendrils
to keep my foolish self
from falling away tonight.
