5-17-96
The helpless restlessness overwhelms
Idle body sits careless by not oblivious
No comprehension with the outside
Hiding in the cavity
Only to peek out through the two holes through closed eyes
Confusion apprehends the restlessness
It stabilizes the jostled emotions
No comprehension with the outside
Safety found in darkness
It refuses the light
Crawls further and further into nothing
Toddling through the night
It's safer to know empty
It's safer to know gone
Inverted hide-n-go-seek
Keeps this person drawn
Deep, deep inside themself
Because it doesn't hurt.......
