I’m drowning in my salty sea of heartbreaking memories,
bottled up thoughts rising, trapped in my mind,
resounding melodies, confused, misused, abused,
untrue, painful poetry, never-ending metaphors
crushing my core, divorced, no remorse,
running off course, surrendering to the insane
dreams clogged up in filthy gutters, my brain drained,
strained, strange, slain, dwindling in crazy, hazy stages.  
I’m sad to say that love has taken a holiday, and all these
feelings inside of me are spinning in rotten realms,
dried up, shuddering, stuttering, smashed, slashed,
sinking into restless states.  Where was I going?
Bones blown into overdone city slums, functions
shrunken, compounded conjunctions slowed down
and smoldered, buried beneath uninhabited deserts.
The sun was steaming my wretched skin,
my fingers crippled, my shoulders swollen, rusted,
shoveled, sweaty palms fallen, colored with crazed
consonants, quivering, barely breathing.
