Thrill

I’m awake as the night itself

Reading’s but of atomic help

Wind races past the time

To blow me back in frame

I can definitely use me

In destroying love afire

Death thrills, life kills

It takes weakness to unveil

Words blurred by tears

Smear heart and the future

Eyes redden with clock ticks

As the night crawls to eternity

It costs the spirit living free

Inhales are Master’s snapshots

Exhales (sour gospel to swallow)

Are infernals’ Do Re Mi Fa Sol

It’s contemptuous dancing alone

Lights fighting besides the bed

Dreams tempt everlasting sleeps

Sleeps I never sleep when asleep

Fate reads me like authorless novel

To spit out enlivening chapters

And beguile me with brief quotations

From last moment we were together
