Brownell Hall (Heartburn)

In the ghost darkness of the cinderblock room,
under the faded covers, waiting for sleep
uncomfortable dreaming of food. 
stomach wrenches hard
acids against its walls
burning flesh inside out. 
Ephemeral flashes of silver morning light
crash through wired window curtains
blow nascent heat into my chamber of vomit.
