Face pressed to the pavement
Inhale
Exhale
“Is she alright””
“What is she on?”
I close my eyes and listen as a laugh bubbles out of my mouth
Smoke drifts by on lazy wind
Pass the bottle round the circle
The sun casts long silhouettes as the day struggles to end
Peace
He throws me over his shoulder and we swim in laughter and carelessness
He’s so skinny
We all pile into a heap of bodies in the grass
Tangled up in drug addled murmurings
Here with my life
Here with my dreams
Wrap me up in this chemical safety
This is where I live
In this place of poisoned innocence
This breathtaking recklessness
This is where I found hope
This is where my heart lies
This is where my life after death continues
Don’t let this moment end
