Mournful Cry Of The Loon

Today is one of those unspoken days and

it feels as though it’s tearing away at the seams of my heart

My senses are totally out of sync with the rest of the world

I have no idea of what I’m thinking and

nothing is in its appropriate setting

Things are slightly off and shifted out of place

Everything feels scorched

along the boundaries of this day

Fire rages within the center of my tormented body

where everything seems off kilter

A day to meander off and in reality to vanish

Something is pulling at me deep inside

towards a bottomless pit

A persistent howl

which instantly reminds me

of the mournful cry of the loon

Today is one of those days which should never have transpired
