thoughts…
… before I go to sleep

the bleak sun casts its shadow through the blinds
in my bedroom, empty
are my bones
my head
went haywire too often
my legs
too tired to lift them off the ground
that shadow of a previous life
will never go away
for good
parachute
I have to stick to it now
I feel like someone
thrown from the plane
I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating
among people from my past
the current ones will never last
too
being only a perfect duplicate of them
so, I’m alive
in the present or in the past?
I do not know that
as my head produces more and more prints
I try to scramble within
the usual grounds
then they will turn around
and new ones will appear in the air
asking me to acknowledge them
with all the honours as if they were
queen
will I ever be free from them?

Man, I feel this every day. Sometimes it takes a vigorous shake of the head and soul to remind me where and when I am. Damn. Nice job.
