M A L A I S E - Being

Intake sensation
Not myself
Future destination
Horizonal shelf
Carve my image from recalled histories
Line on a page
Fill intentions, extend affections
Friends lost with age
And all these conflicts
Subtle misconceptions
Every thread they deface
Will in time
A bridge between us
Function to erase
A request
There's latency always, yes
The phrase repeating inside me
"Tomorrow, I will become myself"
Cycles driven by auras, neuralgias
And a quiet synaptic pause
24 hour intervals
And 10 milligram integrals
Losing sleep over what was said
And how little of it I recall already
Self-medicating in a chlorophyllic wake
Suffocating in the vacuum of your screen space
Mistaking interest for care
I ask that you remove these unsavory parts of me
Which rattle and shake my whole being
Which encase me and would have me disintegrating at your command
Every bit of shrapnel I produce that occludes
This quivering timeline which includes you
One last gesture to testify that your perception of me
Lingers as long as mine of you
Or that it was always already there to begin with
Outside of my clearing
Intersections write me
Line on your page
Pushing now-ward
While feeling then-ness
Friends with my age
