Silence

I want to light a match and set you on fire
I want to watch you fall twelve stories
to the sidewalk below
I want to hold a loaded gun to your head
semi automatic 15 rounds
one in the chamber

The edges of twilight burning are burning
the sky and the stars are falling a Valium heartbeat
insomnia
I can't even think straight

Another daydream about my
hands around your throat
your turning blue
poison in your breakfast cereal
I'll watch you wriggle on the linoleum
like an insect dying

I'll watch you gasp for air
for your last remaining seconds

The edges of twilight are burning
The sky and the stars are falling a Valium heartbeat
insomnia
I can't even think straight
