trauma crawl

my soul is slinking
the corner is calling
hypnotic sadistic cries
then
the world goes gray
and i am black and white
lost in the cracks of color
is this the meaning
of the meaning of life
when they crawl by
i see nothing in there eyes
but a snippet of
the lie of who i am
it takes hold
letting go at nothing
blunt force trauma
drama
life is slipping
slowing
ebbing
here i am
