Blood Tired

45 10 15
                                    

I dread the tiredness gnawing at my bones,
blunt teeth slowly chewing fat and marrow
as the worm turns and the dream sea foams
and I stumble numb toward tomorrow.

I wear corrosion in artery songs,
crystal slights the wrecking of eye and limb, 
and dull days of unremarkable wrongs
haunt this blood as sweeter memories dim.
