Dark Inhabitant

Shadows slumber as

The sun goes down

And I envy the peace

Surrounding me 

But my demons awaken

Resurrecting in darkness

Rising to attention and 

In a dialect of mania

Shout to me backwards

In written words and

Transcribed inscriptions

Interpreting meaning

Rushing from my 

Brain tissue unfolding from

The safety of sanity lost

Swaddling me in its depth 

And my theories bleed

Rectifying pain through 

Digestion and regurgitation 

Expressed and memorialized

In subliminal poetry spoken

By the voices in my head
