the dark stormy seas within me
crash heavily
on the rocky shores of whiskey-filled
tumbling tides,
pooling under my tired,
black-ringed eyes.
i sit, singing phantom sailor songs
soaked in a verbose, morose static,
my disconnect stoked
by the shamanic groans
of a dying apartment fire.
sipping sherry warms me
after the last flames dissipate.
sopping
sobbing sounds
slide off the hymn-sheet of a starless mind
painted in the strokes of a tipsy lobotomy
erupting from the hollowed-out
sunken cathedral of my chest,
there is no treasure inside that cavity.
bobbing on walls of muddied water
in a raft crafted from splintered words
woven in white-lined
wide-eyed
chemical weariness... i seek the shores
of salvaged solace
in a hallucinatory paradise
begging for a shipwrecked
drunken deliverance.
i am no longer the captain of my own
destiny, trust sunk when an iceberg
ripped holes in and through
my identity. sadly, that ship sailed,
none survived. .
