As if I have been the long a waited
Radiation suffocating,
Patient in bed, empty men around me
Almost perfect now.
You carry your organs beautifully
Smiling wrinkles,
And in your words I can capture
Slideshows of your days
And nights also,
I spin them around in my mind
As I feed on daily doses
Of Ripened morphine
And self pity.
Soon you disappear and with you,
Another light bulb tickles itself
And shatters into darkness.

As if I have been the long a waited
Radiation suffocating,
Patient in bed, empty men around me
Almost perfect now.
You carry your organs beautifully
Smiling wrinkles,
And in your words I can capture
Slideshows of your days
And nights also,
I spin them around in my mind
As I feed on daily doses
Of Ripened morphine
And self pity.
Soon you disappear and with you,
Another light bulb tickles itself
And shatters into darkness.
