Acrid!

Acid in the mouth
Burning raw down the throat
mind shreaks a crazy banshee
Incoherent syllables escapes
from the splitted hair ends
revealing nothing in
The Black Nothingness.
Mind tried pulling the plug
lodged tight, stopping
the flow of peace
of satiation
of sleep ...
And the eyes open
to the unhurried world
Moving or still
as perception varies
Cloak of reality
hangs askew
allowing the mind
to float out
In the space beyond.
