Before i fall asleep

sudden jolts of substance
converge on colourless glass,
sculpting skin taut like cling wrap
translucent, honest, waning —
the skull grew slightly longer
shaped by darkened brows,
swelling red and black enclosures
capture the blue-green iris, painted —
lifeless though distorted,
familiar comfort in the decline, for
I know my own way home.
