Vertigo

The walls are closing in
The curtains drop
I’ve locked the door
I’m standing with my back against the wall
These walls have eyes
I must not. fall!
In vertigo I stumble
In confusion i tremble
I must not fall!
These walls have eyes
& you are breathing into my ears
I am swathed in your stale scent
These walls have eyes
& they are breathing into my ears
I am swathed, I must not fall!
The lightbulb is glaring at me
With a peircing glow
I can’t escape it’s cone
In the mirror’s sight, glass-eyed!
Still, I can feel your eyes
Peircing into the back of my pencil neck
Are you even there?
