Languish |
Is this the sensible world |
or just a sick joke my childhood upon me? |
Derivative and febrile, |
the water always ran too hot. |
I singed my hair and taste buds looking for a freedom from a jail within a jail |
within a jail within a jail within a jail. |
And now you say I languish within myself. |
And I may languish, |
but I do so in a brilliant array of fragments of my fractured former self. |
Reformed I may be staring at the mouth of the cut. |
I may be begging for forgiveness from the trampling stampede. |
Yet still they thrust, the naked horde, showering upon me an embarrassment of |
riches of circuitous cliches. |
I bathe in indignation cradling the bastard blade to my bad joker heart. |
The body against the mind against the body. |
I sunk the blade into my shadow, twisted then took off. |
Feeling favored in the orchard of my discontents. |
I hung around in waiting rooms, a rotting clementine. |
Betrayal spat upon the soil and seeping to the roots. |
I found a break in this recursion, swallowed then jumped in. |
Sliding splinters into skin, |
I tried to feel so alive that I couldn’t feel alive. |
This bright heat, I’m rushing toward it. |
This cold hand, I’m rushing. |
Now both memory and forgetting are against me, |
and the anodyne of time is just the erosion of my brain. |
Like a photograph exposed in reverse, |
my neurons decouple in the dark. |
Too little and too late, to free me of these thoughts, |
of this unmeasured world. |
The mind against the body against the mind. |
A path toward beauty. |
A path toward blindness. |
I’m rushing toward it. |
