The Ceiling Spins

The ceiling spins,

The walls twist and melt,

The floor swallows me whole,

A gasp,

A tear,

A scream,

Blood oozes through my veins,

Sweat trickles upon my brow,

Legs lurch holding me erect,

A cry,

A pant,

A swallow,

I blink in the glow of the moonlight,

I shudder in reaction to my reality,

Moments of reason, moments of exasperation.
