Sinking Sinking Sinking into the mire The day beckons me “Listen!” If only I had ears to receive This corporeal prison Beholden to my faulty chemistry I brace myself with lies and purpose In the City of Angels I wonder “Is it dead?”

Depression Poem I
Flushing a toilet full of **** is not unlike living and dying. As the **** spirals into the sewage pipes that sprawl like so many veins underneath the city that all lead to the sea where they join the **** of others, so do our bodies after they are interred and decompose, only to be consumed and shat out by the flora and fauna of the Earth, binding to all that is, ever was, and ever will be. For when our planet is pulverized and our myriad guts scattered across the galaxy, we will all be married in ****** celestial totality. Life is ****

Meditation on ****
To weave a golden thread To keep and covet a dream Taut in the aether A glimpse of the mother Radiant and proud as the essence that glows beneath my very feet Trickling up Swelling behind my cloying eyes I clench and stretch the anima As a bird struggling for freedom of its porcelain white cell Life is ushered forth Spraying it’s fragrant, violet mist Drunken in its volume The majesty of this experience is as transient as the vessel it haunts

For Mother
**** me With saccharine sighs And cloying eyes Their glamour entices me These thoughts leaden in my viscera Scarlet in my sclera Your love is terrifying Viscous and caustic You’re going to destroy me But that’s fine I’m going to let you Lingering in your shade I’ll stay awhile longer Away from myself I’ll never be far enough Just let me stay awhile longer

Lift me up So I can look down To see the throes of truth foisted by our clandestine pretense It's become us, blinded us Abandoning our empathy The joists of fear fulcrum the foundation of our ignorant obstination

The Fear
Sometimes I feel the water Seeping through my land Cracked and sanguine Now seamless and quenched The smell of petrichor fogs my skull And the birds bathe and drink Their songs entice me to discover To explore my immanent wealth To remind me of something I’d forgotten As an epiphany I recede into myself just as my feet are enveloped by mud But I remain still

The stark contrasts between conscious and dreaming life become less and less discernible when you’re caught in a waking slumber

Half-Asleep
I descend the spiral steps Upon which few have taken notice Each tread downward unveils cascades of immanent balance Seething through me Percolating as water in fertile soil Soot wafting in the pillars of light that fulcrum this ancient temple Ineffable I am everywhere and nowhere The dull pangs of humanity do not exist In the abyss All tangible evidence of my person lost in the bright aether fabricated by unsung heroes They motion me forward Ecstatically embracing the mercurial infinitude of our majesty We weep because we are found

Tinnitus from our feedback loop A match to glass powder and red phosphorus Friction of our egos Makes us calloused and blistered Brutal and tender I wanna be exposed To feel the cold burn of the wind on my pink, new skin Clench my jaw, inhale the moment till I scorch my lips And with open arms submit
