Everything is hazy
thoughts spinning in my head
memories
from moments long gone
hidden in the dusty corners
of my soul
I slide on the floor, close my eyes
and I can almost feel
my teeth sinking in warm flesh
ripping it open
It's like a film
an old one
right before my eyes
I remember the time
when my fur was so wet
that it felt heavy to walk
I remember
the soft nuzzles
of another one of my kind
I remember

your good-bye was drenched in distraction
and heat,
a long drawn-out lullaby
withering on unsteady wings.
I tried to say it simply, but my poetry got in the way.
I tried to evolve into the dust between your
eyelashes,
so that maybe a part of you would come to be
encased within my ribs.
I never could let go.
your smile faltered into the most beautiful
decay

Un court instant, je devins Neurasthénique.
