Bright lights blind you
The flat surface of the seen
Endless expectations
In the mental hospital…
The credibility of cruelty
Beneath the surface
I, too, can be counted
The higher we die…
The stiller
Our secret
Center
Weight of faithlessness…
Mist
Of bodily
Existence
Grave expectations for the future…
“I do not
Remember
A thing”

Great form here, Bobbi. I like the variation with this piece.
Well done, Bobbi. The ending punched me in the face!
One powerful image after another. The bright lights in a ward--that one will give me nightmares. Brrr. *
