Xiphosura

The light leaving your eyes

Face hardened, Creased lines

Broken pavement cracked

A long road to nowhere

I am never coming back

Falling asleep

With you talking to me

Dipping fingers in the calf's warm blood

And paint it on the ceiling

Of the caverns in my head

Finger's shadows shrink and stretch

I'll catch the next flight out

I'm gone by morning

Hold my hand while you ignore me

My head is a horseshoe crab

It hasn't changed itself in half a billion years

I'm still screaming

Your name

In the basement

Everyday
