Ending the day

Ending the day
I feel fay
Tired evil surreal
A bundle of nerves
Barbed indomitable will

An incoherent heart
An inchoate mass
Of tightly coiled pain
O I feel today
Explode in my veins

Varicose comatose
Sorry pose
Excuse please
My lack of poise
Or this humble prose
Jumbled up
To resemble poetry
Mangled like my soul carve
Voodoo dolls in my skull
I'm tired of this ship
That's rotting
At the hull

Ending the day
Feeling like a ray
With no endpoints
From which mysterious source
To whence
My destiny
A date  blind
Alladin's cave.

Giddy
Eve to  Adams
Preferably Douglas
Meet me please
By the restaurant
At the end of the universe

Ending the day
With a whimper
Requiem for
False big bangs
Everywhere.

PS everytime I 'compose' a poem on aset theme like a good girl, out comes tumbling
Skeletons of 'poems' haunting my closet. 😂
