Witching Hour
Wrenched from sleep, fractured self confronts restless nights; poetry speaks back in satin and blood.
January 4, 2026
Wrenched from sleep
in sweat-stained sheets,
hair unspooling a mess
of ribboned dreams—
how cliché to write
of restless nights,
heart suspended
in the widening now
like a timepiece
taken apart–
a pageant of strange
silver selves
haunting corridors
of your body—
and you speaking back
in the satin and blood
of poetry.
