Mornings sit on chest

Weighted blanket on a cotton-filled lonely

Friday

And twilight clips between the blinds

Email notification: 8:51AM – Hey Dwayne B! Something on your wishlist is now on sale in the Nintendo EShop!

Rude and abrupt

Vibration and restless

Everyday

Still life

Screening screens

In isolation

Mourn the lost

Celebrate the life

Recognize the Causes

When it dies

All is still

But the thoughts

Scampering the minds floor

Calls missed

Pen swaying – A meter bump on the green line

Signs of life

All still

In motion.
