Timber- by: unknown forgotten

Staring at the carpet from millimeters away
I took a tour of the fabrics and spaces in between
I was sinking quickly into them
and the miniature expanse that lied there within
Peering into such a small, infinite space
I couldn't feel my face

My hands were somewhere near
Reaching for the floor but unable to locate
And hoping to brush against the bottle somewhere
Solely to stop the slowly pouring liquid escaping it's neck
And perhaps if I could stand up again
I might take another drink

My head weighed one million pounds
It pressed itself into the ground
I could feel each thread embedding it's pattern in my skin
Blood throbbing, eyes rolling back
Everything turned to black
And drool oozed out of the crack between my dehydrated lips
