Refraction

Push and pull, bend and break
Sunspots pulsing; tunnel vision collapse
I violently recoil and realize I'm still awake
Daylight recollections of lifetimes long past
And then comes the night...
No moon and no stars
Just my world decaying behind mental bars
Visions of a spherical life
Distorting down into a single dimension:
Permanent despair
Bitter solace in solitude
