Chronic

By: Hayden Isaiah Fuentabella

In black ribboned with pearls there is shame


On my fingers lay graphite stains
Crumpled paper scratches my skin
Wrap my eyes in cellophane

In a dark corner while the world refracts rays


Neon lights through the window pane
Built on sand, termites nibble me whole
4x4 rubic’s cube unsolvable

Teaspoon scraped the crumbs in my skull


Between the brittle ceiling and wall unstable
Memories shoved under the table
Rewritten in someone else’s cradle

With a single touch my skin falls off


Lidless eyes on concrete walls
The blanket of bones envelopes me
Keep these lips close to nightmare fury

I dash through the avenue in a haze


Hidden voices changed our choices
Sketching on the hollow canvas
The echoes in my hippocampus
Wounds repeat when pain is absent
Slithered back into the holy garden
The washing machine woman calls my name
And Mr. Sandman falls between chipped nails

Inside and out the black coat shines


Door latch free, shackles still tight
Witches are burned in ancient times
Yet the candle’s flame burn bright
