CEILING

Spine felt cold, as the fabric rested on the floor,

head, hands. Feet, sprawled,

periodic ticking,

on the wall, in the chest

a oscillating noise to complement

silver beam illuminates my iris,

ironically through the space between the blinds.

I can feel the frozen acids, oozing vessels

as well as the rise and fall in me;

an anonymous warmth in the castle of cold

but my eyes never left the spot, admiring.

-She thought before pulling herself up back, on her feet.
