Horizons of smoke The burdening The woeful well. Dropping ideas like rainwater; Like poison tokens Or burning embers To a pool of kerosene. Like feeding a dragon Hungry and deep throated. No darkness could stop it No world of light hearted notions Or light in long tunnels. Those things don't matter now. Swallowing weights- Heavy lids- Propped with fear. Hair's on end- Trying to flee- Thwarted by attachment. A din of quiet: Vital quiet Ear shattering quiet The sound of nails on slate The sound of wailing life A quiet that kills. A sudden look back, And there flies the children of that well! Tattooing your mind like Spilt black paint! Splattered, disorderly! Grabbing you, carrying you While you clench for anything to hold onto! There is no handle There is no reaching hand There is only you. You, and this pit of ink, And your poison ideas! Forming a brush to shape the ink. Unlocking chambers Unlocking your true nightmares.
