sudden movements in crowded bars

send me into a rage - madness
into something akin to mania

but don’t let me stay there forever

drag me out if I start to sink into unwritten messages and passing ships with missing floorboards

just don’t let me sink
don’t fink on me when I have a drink
or go out of my way to say what needs to be said

don’t let me fall behind but leave me when you find my mind in uncharted waters
slightly unrecognisable

state what’s been happening as of late and leave the gate open
just in case

whisper to me when it’s safe to
come back out

and hand me a shovel when you do
it’d be rude not to exceed our faults limits

mouth it if you must - hush me
lessen your projections with investments and trust

we must lower our curtains at beginnings of certain haze
and could never stay there

between the layers of the pathways that demand to be acknowledged

-D.
