malaise
tender_square
it
isn’t
sleep
-deprivation
so
much
as
daily
weariness.
and
dreams
akin
to
a
montage
of
minutiae.
tell
me
tarot
,
what
’s
the
purpose
of
my
malaise?
is
this
waiting
or
deferment?
wild
heart
wants
elsewhere
,
the
life
force
slinking
across
the
shore,
back
to
where
i
was
born
.
“
your
inner
critic
is
in
full
effect
.”
that
may
be
so
.
maybe
i
’ve
exhausted
my
reserves
on
a
carousel
of
fantasy
,
like
a
jumper tethered
by
piercing
pole,
awaiting
transformation
as
scenes
twirl
,
suddenly
a
pegasus
taking
flight
.
