i blame you for this lapse in sleep

two forty seven

click the laptop screen awake

dull techno-magics

 

conjure anything

every pixel to my whims

dimension limits

 

gave you breath with text

from your soul to mine in words

embers fanned to life

 

carved you out of mind

excavate you from the dirt

i see perfection

 

i know who you are

i’d know you if i saw you

i see you nowhere

 

my head the vessel

unable to summon you

further than myself

 

be separate from me

exorcise you lovingly

you are my demon
