departed submission

working tireless, tryna acquire

a piece of pie, no peace of mind-

it was swallowed up by a single line

 

still burning fire, still drowning water,

still killing time,

still seeing gods in the devils signs

 

not in spirit-

we communicate pharmaceutically

they hide in my reflection,

quietly abusing me

a voice comes back, irregularly, unusually-

preaching whispers, rehearsing a bad eulogy

 

shooting stars with delusions of trajectory,

searching for answers, children of the ecstasy

 

a dab of psilocybin, diddled *****

a dim hymn rising

a rare sight, a good time with perfect timing-

a moon and sun, both dying to be aligning

 

stuck at odds, tryna even out the writing

the syllable count drowns out the defining

diminish not the depths of the man,

dead yet divining,

drinking from a bottle constantly filled with lighting
