Here for now

I am dark  , not here  , nor there , absent in your eye's , clouded by perception  time  and doubt.

Make haste , tell all who will listen , you have begun. I am plaintive , sickening the pit where

you eat / hurling my name , washing it down copper drains.

Actions played in  your hands , taste bitter , leaving acid to build inside . I am pessimistic , my face erased with marker , smudged in desperate fingers left inside worn clothes given away without concern.  No second thought will be permitted.
