Eyes closed
the library passes
the mind clear
instructions gone.

Pictures rubbed
the faces unmatching
the feeling left
mutes my words.

Pulses ring
the loudness continues
the strength has lost
it perpetuates fear.

Necks turn
the strangers whisper
the love is real
it moves the crowd.

Dreams sleep
the softness drowses
the laughter louder
mops the floor.

Bowels linger
the acids digest
the tumors boiling
the skin is soft.

Weather pauses
the pupils widen
the cancer glistens
in this summer storm.
