Depression
Depression
has us under
its blackened thumb
smothered in its
sweet chloroform
our dark becomes
its own reward...
we want release
like from a pen
and so we bleed
till a last breath...
our inked signatures
moist and smearing
while subconscious
to the surface...
comes revealing!
very faint lines
waving vainly
in surrender...
upon these
white flags
of ours
