Ink Stain

A tangled mess

Sucker punched by my own blow hard suckers

Each scrape a deep wound full of poison and rapture

If I could but belt out this volcano of regret that burns deep

Perhaps I could take just one solitary breath that did not taste of you

That wasn't a constant reminder of

What. Could. Be.

Sea witch hair scattered every which where

Like seaweed jamming traffic along the ragged edge of reef

Is there a volunteer?

Someone willing to rehinge this off-the-rails oddity

That is and is not before you

A dead sea of guilty shade

Heavily armored

With fathomless depths of rage and remorse
