sinking drowning dying [spinning] throwing going
down
around inside my head it unfurls
the fire unleased and spent and taken
by surprise I’m falling spiralling twisting-
turning and dizzied by the lack of breathing
Picked UP and lost in the hustle of going
going being seeing buying lying through the
truth becoming clearer by nights of w a r p e d
mirrors and powdered lines in scheming minds
of the bad choiced losers of our time.
Shaking hands and sleeping bands the drum
pounds a beat in my head that I can hear as
I leap from incandescent memory to horror
film in one swift turn of phrase.
Goodnight and goodbye stars and constellations
That once played an intricate role.
