Starving flesh
to bolster
mind
day after
day.
Setting dependencies
afloat,
adrift,
away...
Soon,
this sacrifice
will open a rift
of delusion,
a liberating confusion.
No longer tied
to the carnal,
I can seek
nourishment
in ethereal soils,
where apathy finds
the encouragement to bloom
into something
grander
than itself.
