the canal of my pupil
inflames with rest,
the ceiling touches my forehead,
everything is small
and attached.
now that the world is finally close,
it's hollow.
there is room for my body
in my head,
I sink into sleep
and accept
that there are two kinds of death in the world
and this
does not seem temporary

amazing.
it's one of those poems that doesn't make your mouth taste like stale milk. if that makes sense.
which is why i loved it.
and i don't even like short poems.
