Project Fail

engrossed detail
pencil shaving strewn
clipped nails
mill about the table
every year
benchmarks unforeseen
foreboding
forecast
cycling degradation
 
can’t see the forest
imbedded
bug-eyed
malicious
burning
from all sides
can’t unsee
 
every night
a little blur
sleep becoming
vivid unease
recapture settling shards
waking
from pits of the stomach
 
dreams into realm
of living
shadowing
film sequence
earlier versions
anesthesia-scenes
 
set from carpet
grasping
glasses
device
for movement
water
morning’s breath
numbing
the dawning eye
