Last scar of the night




Insomaniacal

I see my posts and I wonder
what sort of fucking state
did you have to get into
before you thought you could face the whole
world
your teeth stained brown
red wine and heroin
and I am not proud of my choice
of off the shelf prescription
I just want to sleep
like the snow
that when it comes brings a town to a standstill
and I do not want to stay alive
to see what comes
of another meltdown

If I had a gun I’d be even more dangerous
to my head than the unspeakable hours
I chalk off like a debt
to existence itself
while in me the strong wind blows
taking out my windows
nothing it seems will take my sails out
not cutting nor cursing
nor cooking
they all speak to me of the alive
while I burrow in rags
nursing
so many past wounds only a slave would brandish
his past crimes seeking out an audience
in his infantile search of some kind of

humanist justice
