madness

--

each morning
i wake up in a blur
suffused by anger.

pouring coffee
it tastes all stale
myself, out of scale.

explosion arises
inner destructiveness much obliged
happiness is after all, a mirage.

i marvel at the woes
now all exposed
from the moment I couldn’t let go.

so each night
martyr, i make of myself
a catatonic response to any lover’s plight.

madness occurs
deepens built-up sorrows
felling terrified, so it goes.
