Soggy recollection the dingy fortress
arriving to my psyche with hammer and nail
the sorted prison cells with their ugly shadows
vulgar faced goons and quarter moons
we aboard the quicksand elevator
Never know yourself until blood is under your fingernails
remembering every sentence spewed at my head
confined space with no such grace eats away
the days you'd rather not wake
uncoil seconds before the mess I make
That hopeless, that descpicable, that fine line
always a century of wondering what calamity could push me
before playing the role of soft hearted addict
keep me numb with pills and shrills until dawn
reverse the gorging process into the meager confinement
I've heard but never seen ghosts there
I'm certain they fell asleep next to me
like the dejected jackals draw joker cards
unfortunate is every dull instance lacking feeling
Illuminated across the landfills of cell phone drones
A cloud of horse flies and tooth fairies
