Dura Mater

By Micah Rodriguez

Loving way too fast

Another way to lie-
My lack of last
Moments run by
Chains I’ve torn from seven miles deep

I feel alright.
I’ll be alright.

Next stories to be told

And forty days go by-
I lost my mind

Feelings feeling cold
Way too old for younger doors

And nothing new.
There’s nothing new.

My compass always spins

Spin n’ spin-
When will it be?

Will I be dead?
Living the dream?
I live in my head.
How could I north?
I’ve always been south.
Couldn’t do west, but never the less-

My life is a map, my mind is the test.
