i am fractured:

the cough syrup cocktail
goes down so smooth
and i’ll come down from
its high real slow
but for now, i’m just going
to close my eyes
and forget everything.
the mirror in the bathroom
is broken and
i can’t recognize myself
any longer
for all of its cracks
i am fractured
distorted by the pane.
the cough syrup cocktail
goes down so fast
i’ll pick up the pieces
some other time
right now, all i can do
is close my eyes
and forget everything.
