E-Nervous system
by
Jude Eydmann
Myriad sensory nerve ends in pleasure
Communicate death of this brief acute pain
Painkiller silences nightmare paralysis
Keep up the fight, keep the anger on rein
Bury my sorrow in swift urban legend
Lie in my room in the half-light of dawn,
Battle with monsters of growing sensation.
Grey world folding inwards, the curtain is drawn
