Rough time writing anything tonight.

Bad poetry

I’ve never been able to yell very loudly. I cannot

paint a picture. Sometimes poetry is like beer

shining in an indoor light and murky in the middle, no one really understands

what we’re still doing here together. I have had so many bottles

fed to whatever fires there are inside

I imagine them as flickering timber. What are we doing here

in this tiny apartment? I have so many words

to throw in the ocean. One day maybe we will all still swim together

in something besides these chemicals again

all pink and thoughtful

with full lungs.

paint a picture

great piece,
paints a very colorful picture in my head believe it or not:)
kind of dark and bright all at the same time. maybe two dark shapes consuming something bright.
