electric humming.blank eyes
sweat drips from every stinking
pore on my miserable skeleton of flesh
nearly pitch black: my body aches for the stars
and i dont find them i dont find them i only see
a spotlight to reveal the cracks on my skin
i wreak of boiling anger with a subtle tone of despair
the cement creaks below me and i
rest my spine on top of it
will it ever decide to swallow
me whole?i should thank you for warming me,
despite the heartache youve put me through.
dog breath:inhuman noises from a buzzing
around my brain
ive got blisters on my ankles from walking a mile
in black boots.they suffocate themselves
into the womb,before trying to grab ahold of me;
pull me on top of them
even the bugs flee. the insects weep: a pillar of salt
isnt enough to make amends with them
a ghost train back to my bedroom,I can hear it calling
me.high pitched and restless
the doors are locked from the inside∧ theres no way in
to preach my gospel
i should be headingoff- down a dimly lit path
we created in our lungs
