A Collapse

Reality has begun to harshly invade

The sacred separation signified by

Pen and paper.

Uninvited and unwanted,

It infests my ink

And soaks through the canvas

Of my words;

The sanctuary of verse

And rhyme

Is now littered with a fetid

Lack of fiction.

The line has been blurred before,

But never this thoroughly,

This absolutely.

As I again cower in my

Shelter of scribbled paper,

I cannot help but vomit myself

Amidst the letters.

The delineation has been broken--

The tears have bled through

And connected my two worlds.
