DissonAnt StrinGs

Mary Theresa Joseph

guts tight
cringeing eyes
lips pursed
falling grey matter
into the abyss
tired
an ache in the nether regions
the unreachable place in the mind
sunDay
the non-day
the night of night
mysterious chords
enforce the dread
move the bile
clench the fibers
pray for relief
pray pray pray
