my childhood fears
and forgotten dreams
reborn each day
in mind bending streams

through painful hours
and stinging minutes
ghosts cling to me
neck-deep drowning

words now written
on the burning page
forgotten, gone
in clouds of spent rage

in their absence
leaving me empty
akin to gaps
between hieroglyphs
