Dysthymia

By brainbent

A juggernaut.

A black hole.

And I fold in upon myself like the collapse of a nation built in a wasteland. Nothing contiguous to fill the vacuum of its fall.

Agony recycled in increments into increasingly grotesque structures. Increments by the thump, thump of my clock. Time neglected. Hours rushing through the void, creating a venturi that sucks me dry.
