Illusions
I am a demon. Lost somewhere between your cerebrum and cerebellum. Within the splitting of a second, I am alone. Within the splitting of two, she is alone. She measured a cup of confessions, I dribbled them across the countertop. I fold your words carefully, half by half, corner by corner. She lay as a plank across the crisp white sheets, yellowing with age, I unravel her worry. The soft worms of your mind become tangled, only to be placed beneath the doormat, eyes wide open. I am an angel. There is nothing foul about my breath. When his eyes close, mine open. I give him abstract powers. He caresses the lucidity, stretches his immaculate fingernail over a mile. In this realm, his stains are gone. My dirty water runs sterilized into a contaminated mouth, a word bent into an intricate pattern, disappears into the white abyss.
