illuminate me, cast your
colors of iridescence,
incandescent as my sunset
and phosphorescent as the
radiation pain from my
chest, lights blare and

will not stop shimmering.
is it motion sickness or
exasperation that shakes
you to your core, just keep

pawing at it and you will
not fall down as far as
you think you will. close
your eyes, ocular impairment
can help dull the experience,
don't be frightened by
the ubiquitous lights, hold

on tighter, she'll hold your
hand closely to her chest,
murmur a few breaths as you
palpate on this journey that
will ultimately get you

nowhere. no matter how dark
it gets, this empyrean is
still your boundary and this
bar is your only lifeline, so
pretend she was never there
and let it take you anywhere

that you don't want to go.
crimson hues of only equine
friends at this point, you
can't take a bench when you're
alone in this world of the
oblique nightmare, pretend

that the music is deafeningly
silent and that her voice is
the only thing you'll hear.
allege that you're okay, even
though you just want the
ride to be over.
