ArtisticMess16 in Stream of Consciousness

in a room of waiting {a work in progress}

City weight upon shoulders

Drew back with deep breaths

loved thinking of putting down roots.

Rolling questions and

dropped decisions

by her teasing look.

Frowning doorway-

her blushed in unsleeping sleep

-barely.

Opposite her bed

within dragging confusion

of self-conscious speculation; cascading

covered the blindsided ache

which may explain this dizzying rush as

tingle relief awaits to be lifted.

Tightness arranged and transfers-

chest, shoulders, neck.

Mind un-slacking; drifting

darkening the dim illumination gripping.

Caught within sandpaper hands

fathoming her helpless state

alongside waiting faces; watching.

Furiously dash at dampen cheeks while

white sheets monitor sleepless lids.

Red-rimmed gaze settles on agonizing seconds

inside a numb room

of watercolor mountains and

funeral flowers side-table.

Windows peaceful, gathers blended affections

while quietly rips relief

from a listening trauma unit

Unwillingly going back...

the intensive silencing moment as

awareness of last night un-shimmers-

taunting screaming echoes

extending hitched breath

jolts red-soaked wetness flattened by adrenaline.

Shots reverberating violent-

waiting for her fluttering lashes...
