bathroom floor [incomplete]

bathroom floor 
at 1am
staring into the darkness
which reaches out from the sink

bathroom floor
at 1am
reaching for the drain plug
from the tub


bathroom floor
at 1am
watching the sparks
going out of me

bathroom floor
at 1am
wondering what good
to have them all starting fires

bathroom floor 
at 1am
a shell on the shelf
whispers of lost oceans,
liquids quickly gulped down
just last week

bathroom floor
at 1am
the walls crumbling down
stone after stone
grasping
at the emptiness ahead
before turning 
into dust

bathroom floor
at 1am
who am I ?
what have I done
to put out the fire?

bathroom floor
at 1am
maybe I should just get up
...
