Office Daze
Mad Cat Lady
dark tiles made silvery white
by angle of light
warm dead leaves
skittered aimlessly about by afternoon breeze
dry dead leaves
for a dead dry gaze
as I stare out the window in a vegetative daze
desiccating in office air-conditioning
I think my eyeballs are shrivelling
By the time I surface at days end
Weary eyes kissed with promised dusk
There will nothing left of me to contend
but a dry and empty husk
