A string
Between three falling
Anchors
Is the day unmedicated.
Hours tick deeper
Ticking into night’s submergence of stars
Becoming a plastic bag
Around my child head
An utter terror of
Tomorrow’s triggered
Sky fall: cement
The busy blood
The clock of walking people
Walking too fast.
I flip the light switch
Eleven times before bed
Every night or else.
