Rabbit Holes

Rabbit Holes

 

I fantasize about the time of day I kill

you. Each daydream wanders through rabbit-

holes and I question, if the holes are bigger

than the ones in my brain.

You are incoherent, angry yet gentle hearted.

The reasons I yearn to get it

over with so soon.

Time moves forward while I backwards,

in the heat of the past

that melted rabbit holes –

I had your attributes.

And even as I sank into the holes

Nothing would peel away.
