"upcountry" poems
I need a shift,a move,a lift to lift me out of this,to raise my consciousness and unless I get it and get it quick,I'm going sick,I'm sick of it,it's a crock,a lock me in,a shut me down and shut me up,strap me tight and ***** the night,screw the day and that's the way of it. I need a lift,need to bridge the rift that's opened up inside of me,the chasm that threatens to swallow up and hide me, I need a lift. Failing that I'm heading back upcountry,leaving all and sundry in my wake,breaking ties,leaving lies as hostages against my non return. In the heartland where I roam where my solace is a home and where Satyrs sit and sing I shall bring myself to book,take one hard critical look, and then decide if I'll hide in gaping chasms,swallowing in spasms whilst licking tics and twitches from my eyes,or I might surprise you all. I may take the vow of chastity,live my life in poverty,flagellate in privacy but what the hell,I may just stay and wait to see what happens next.
