the moments before

the darkness sets in.
underneath his skin and behind his eyes
lay the truth that no one would ever imagine.
it had clawed at him for years, but on this night, in
this absolute darkness he was
ripped from a dreadful headline -
he could no longer suppress the need. 
pressure.
cranial fluids
seep from his ears and 
from his tear ducts.
he stared at himself in the puddle
watching, drip. drip. drip and disappear in the oily sludge.
like some lynch movie the fog set in
and insane confusion followed.
