eyes creaking and still caked in flaking mascara from 8 AM
finger bones weak and too shaking because
what did I fill my blood with today?
my first coffee in months and
not much else, I think
this has been a longer 16 hours than most 4-day stretches
and I still haven't heard from you, or anyone
since last week, or if you have tried
to shout in my direction maybe
I just haven't heard you through the glycerin built up
between my ears and the air, and sleep
hangs around me like a veil
that I still can't touch
