Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Eyes Closed

My eyes closed,
I study the darkness
That my eyes produce.
Gleaming images and spots
Sending messages to my brain.

On a table somewhere
Sits a candle with a green flame.
I knock it to the ground,
Wax spilling and drying instantly,
Capturing my footsteps
As I walk across it.
Straight head, it seems,
In the wrong direction.

I am still here,
Watching the backs of my eyelids.
Seeing my own created darkness.
Where I am
Most comfortable.
