CESSATION OF GALVANIC RESPONSE
(23/10/2022)


back

Friend of mine-
Face, mask, bone, cartilage,
Network of soft tissue and muscle memory,
Electrical impulses, ancestral instincts,
I see you, bathed in my own shadows, writhing.

Haven of mine-
How I've hurt, and fought, to see you,
The pocket dimension of my own consciousness,
Flirting with hallucinations, coy suggestion of delusion,
A vivid dream within Mobius strip reality and recollection.

I feel so much, yet so little.
Frostbite, hot air balloon, clinical assessment,
The tingling of circulation in my fingertips,
Vision in the fog, television snow, radio hiss,
Fingerprints smeared over a camera lens.

I feel, therefore I am,
Viscera in knots, electrification of the nerve,
Primordial communication, faulty data storage,
When's the last time you trusted your own eyes?
What makes your memories yours?

Oh, my friend, my defibrillator,
Morse code through the blizzard,
I wish I knew how to trust,
Because when I do, I'm actually showing you
That I've grown numb to pain.
