Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Prv. š‘“:š‘¦

bleed your heart out in dripping
poetic pretenseā€•slip
that inky salamander some silk:

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  "the wilting waiting flora
bequeathed their busting bouquets and
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā bountiful bosoms unto the world
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā in all of its prescient
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  violence"


then read it back to yourself
later and be
absolutely disgusted.

throw it away with all the other
things you've done in your
life.

now reach back in your closet
and rattle the skeletons
lingering there.

finger your dreams in the
dark under pressure
from the mind
to find yourself.

the lightning severance
will sing and
anxiety will
harmonize with the knife.

you've done it again...
****** it all up
and everyone
knows it.

you could eat all the erasers
in the world
and your **** still
wouldn't come out correct.

a lifetime of valleys and
seawalls has made you
an avatar of
effortless blunder.

and you can't stop bleeding
all over the page; white
is red again
cause
you blue it.

bleed inā€•breathe out
breathe inā€•bleed out
bleed inā€•breathe out
breathe inā€•
bleed out...

welcome to the creative
process.
