(062) languished in the night

languished in the night by a stark asphyxiation in the solitude of my two dying eyes as they twitched in the darkness. twenty-two days in this freezing apartment.

i left the open wound undressed and walked outside.

your beginning was my ending. your triumph was my defeat. your pride was my shame. your confidence was my self-doubt. your vitality was my debilitating weakness.
