The Inner Asylum


Letters to the Author

Nailing my coffin

Did I just hand myself a hammer
and stand inside my coffin
while you handed me a nail.
Did I just drive in that nail
while you plotted against me
smiling and laughing all the while.
Did my heart just drop
as the walls came in around me
as the light dimmed.
