4/27/23

on edge



the other voice in your ear
little seductions, suggestions

like strobe light persistence 
of flash
then blindness

like a boxer’s jab
over and over again
wearing me down

like cold water dripping
the torture of repetition
slow, into madness

closer to the edge
not falling, but closer

where fear and pain frolic

where I find myself
little by little
more without you
