Open Wide

 There's cleavage in the brain
a crevice of darkness
like the deep black kiss
from a partner who cares not
if you stay healthy

Wider it runs
harder it is to avoid
a gapping maw
that hungers for your voice
wants to feed on your words
until there is nothing left for you to say
because there is nothing you can say

The best of you is falling
falling down into your mind
no sides to grab
no bottom to hit
just falling
forever falling
