[The Master of Bad Sleep]

 [The Master of Bad Sleep]

Non-fungible tokens

Make up a table of souls

That can only look forward

But erase the future

If I stand alone here

Know I am your enemy

Drawing shadows from your soul

Pulling your invisible strings

To one of three enclosures

The best of which is abandonment

I, collector of nightmares

Sleep without dreaming

Unfold the dark night

Kiss your fear 

Sucking hope 

into the chokeplace

That leaves you longing

For the past

Poet in a Cage

 [Poet in a Cage]

No. You cannot

Swallow this epiphany

It will poison your heart

Set motives against goals

Spin on a reputation

And offer mirthless smiles

In the dark

Who.am.I?
I.am.not.you

I absorb gaslight

& the anthems 

of the damned

I pray to the cage

Collapse and compress

Let my atoms move faster

Until the kinetic energy

Creates a radial storm

Of ash shadows and cinders
