in my bond-breaking, i neglected
to love the poison tearing
through words i could
not squeeze in real-world clarity
my room becomes a holocaust
yellow walls splotched red
wire nerves splayed and torn
proof burns in my throat
and soon my excuses die
my mind is not mine
and the room’s crannies open

wow. awesome metaphors. so dark. loved 'i neglected to love the poison' part.
it sounds like it is about not wanting to accept something ugly.
nice poem
