Hypnotic Contemplations
Location
Let the asystole
Voice the matter at hand
The mind of she who wishes
To broadcast her innermost thoughts
Her suppressed desires
Goals, methods, plans
But fear the shatter
Of the internal porcelain muscle
Which through each contraction and relaxation
Sustains a life whose indecisiveness
Has at one point though to welcome
The flatline with open arms
Before crossing said arms across that same muscle
Or at least where it once was
But in a mahogany bed of her favorite color
Dressed in her sunday’s best for all of eternity
After being on display for the final consolation
Of those she never knew cared
Her soul has already ascended as her physical state
Provides nourishment for the flowers that will one day bloom
The sound of a finger snap
Awakens from her journey to her subconscious
Welcomed back to reality
By a familiar sound
Of scribble on paper
Her muted vocals
Cords stolen by her depression
That will one day be returned…
With progress… with faith… with esteem
