Schizophrenia
by Ilan
Ye watch carefully in the
paranoia that surrounds thee,
suspicious of everyone around
Peeking here, avoiding there,
Slipping into ambiguity
Fading away,
Thinning
Vanishing
Ye slip away
Like bottles into the ocean cast
Waiting for messages broadcast
.....we shall find ye
Ye drown in black water
In a circle not of life
A tornado spiral
Sucked into oblivion
Ye screamed
We heard
Lest the empty space in your concrete room
The hard floor
The unmade bed
Unshaven, cold
Ye watch carefully in the
paranoia that surrounds thee
