Curled up.
Fetal, fatal, words unspoken,
Around heads in broken frames,
Empty nooses,
Their cupped hands begging
For necks;

Dreary night, humid walls
Spine bent
Curled, not around, but for
Claustrophobic
Stalls, wet curtains
Turn the flash on forget you’re
Alone for a while
Talk to the ceiling let
LEDs blink to sleep with you,
Die,
Curled up.

Fetal, fatal,
Words unspoken.
