The Crack of My Neck

Relax
The tight muscle snaps
Tongue stains and away knives me
Fireflies in my eyes
Long sighs against the soft palate
I have spent five nights
In uneasy unconsciousness
Dying in bed inhaling lights
Five times I awoke
Chronically breathless between worlds
Where something within me was broke
Relax
The tight muscle snaps
Neck tilts and around release
Pressure in my spine
Dull sounds fluid in the skin
I have spent five nights
In uneasy unconsciousness
Dying in bed inhaling lights
Five times I awoke
Chronically breathless between worlds
Where something within me was broke
