Day 1: On Last Night's Depressive Episode

how many days have I spent
staring out the window
in the dark,
that peculiar spread of branches
stabbing at the air?
they expand in my chest cavity,
hardening, ripping arteries,
and yet I spill no blood.
I wonder how so much pain
cannot cause death unto itself
I breathe it, living cruelly
inside the blank.
