Klonopin - Drowse

The snow outside

The pill I take to hide from life:

The way it blankets my mind

It’s hard to describe

With slowing heartbeat

The way it erases what’s beneath

The way it thaws slowly

Revealing

Muddy human shape imprinted: shame

Musty leaves and sadness

Blame

My self-imposed detachment:

Internal passion, eternal absence

With slowing heartbeat

Erasing the self beneath

When it thaws slowly

Is that me?

I look down wistfully

Stumble around aimlessly

Nothings found in daylight

It dims, I cover myself

«Again, alive.»

«It snows every night.»
