Note for note
I draw a line
to dream
or break the bleakness
that I feel.
Inspired by the nothing
abiding at my door,
I step and wiggle
hoping there’s more
to life
than meets the eye.

Note for note
I draw a line
to dream
or break the bleakness
that I feel.
Inspired by the nothing

I step and wiggle
hoping there’s more

A note with tear stains on it,
heart-rending, in my mind.
Most probably, just cheesy.
I locked it in a case, thinking I hid it well.
It made perfect sense at the time:
my move, the note, its hiding place.
…
I never saw the note again,
I roughly remember what it said.
I saw deaths after that, but no one saw mine.
When I look back, it made perfect sense. At the time.
I still wonder where the note is.
