when you're in pain, your mind wanders off into different directions. different tangents take over, anything to change the focus. you can close your eyes tight & think of bright colors, think of traffic, highways, bright lights. when you're in pain, everything looks different, more visceral. you always want to run away from it & in a way you don't. because it makes you forget the truths that are glowing around you in the nite, like hot embers in a black cast iron stove, it makes you forget.
&&i could sleep forever, but it's of you i'd dream.
