Bruised Dreamer
i am transfixed by the idea of finding peace at the end of the tunnel
i found a kindred spirit with the darkness that blankets it
the bleak claws of the cold gnawing at my skin and drawing out dull crimson blood
i am a carrion
painted with bruises
pink blue purple and yellow
this tunnel feels incongruous
why am i here again?
it is clusive but i do not stop i walk and walk and walk in the interminable tunnel
i do not see an end
but neither is there a start in sight
- an endless search for my dreams
