vapor-compression constant inside
bedroom the hot condensed by water
compressed then carried away by water
every slight abnormal buzz keeps me up
illuminated by glow-in-the-dark skeleton
a light when I touch warmth of skin your
hair prickled amidst the refrigerant
though mostly alone these days it feels barbaric
no sleep standing before the bare fridge
slowly carving an avocado with a knife
to eat anteriorly to the artificial bright
with pinch of salt and nothing else
the morning gathers clarity made unpalatable
sun grows creeping stinging each eyeball
and a dream lets go its memory despite
hidden exchanges of gas to liquid at night
