Smoke, Water, and Mirrors

Folder: 
*water

the posion you put in my drink

makes my eyes act like ships

-they're sinking

across the haze, across the room

the din takes on it's new life too soon

and i'm left

-blinking

i don't know quite what it is i see

the alertness evaporates off me

head on table, glass in hand

i'm still

-drinking

thoughts and reality like insences roam

rolling on the walls that line my head and charring the chipt paint

on a ship that's

- sinking

glassy water catchs strob light

cup them quick and hold on tight

i throw my head back,

i'm

-drinking

part my lips

like you would the Red Sea

move in closer

towards all that's dead in me

you can have a sip

-this drink's on me

it's all smoke and water

and th ethought clutches me

whirlling around in chaos free

lushish, alive, intoxicating

we're all ships, sinking
