mental fat(igu)e

by Howard F Farewell

          when the wires twist and break tangling
                   emotion to unladen windwhispers
 
the night looks too much like day
and my eyes ache in this midnight sun
                   at twenty one hours everything
               rides on a wing and a prayer
                  words like cyanide under my tounge
                      di
                         s
                          s
                            ol
                               v
                                  i
                                n

Howard, your title to this poem is as alluring as the poem itself. Congratulations on your POTD.
