Shooting pains // on the throne of ten thousand bagels

SHOOTING PAINS // ON THE THRONE OF TEN THOUSAND BAGELS (E A D G B E)

Shooting pains.

In perpetuum.

Last night.

No sleep.

In memorandum.

Of loss.

And living.

In humility.

Rivers surge.

Waves crash.

Last night.

Your friends.

Were here.

 

Sometimes I look for your reflection in the mirror to check if you’re really there. Satisfied, I try not to wake you as I tiptoe down the hall.

In humility rivers surge, waves crash. Last night your friends were here.

 

We’re all tired at the moment. Beady eyes a sign of the times.

 

On the throne of ten thousand bagels. I hold a cradle for the loneliest hearts.

The path unravels as you sleep. You wake up. It is just long as it needs to be.
