Seawater Coffee Breath

---

I only let myself cry in the morning now

salty seawater tracks on sleep creased face

coffee breath exhalations, gasps into the void

the timing is essential you see, for

I cannot allow them to witness the fullness of my despair

I do not wish for them to wholly comprehend

see my fears laid bare, raw, wet

exposed nerve, hot electric pulsings

anxieties, curling tentacles madly squirming

seeking, grasping, choking

throbbing, ragged twisting tendrils

eating, boring into my very core

seeking my peace without respite

the monsters that crawl under this anxious skin

capering madly, bared gleaming white incisors

Beasts

trapped within this feverish vibrating skull

they cannot have these sacred innocent ones

I refuse to feed them mine

will not offer them up as sacrifice

I will drown upon these daytime seas first

and save them from the teeth

Bpnwc 😻
