Expiration date: 20, November 2019.

 Exhausted

Between books and locks

Ads and crosswords.

The floor cracks,

Beneath all things

That are black.

Like midnight the

Moon brings in

The Children-

Before the Mothers

Sin, before Dad

Takes a swim.

The draft from

Within brings

Shivers only

To the soul

When the

Blood runs dry

And the river

Eats you whole.

My mind is

Nowhere to be

Found. I mind 

as well

Drown.
