block oxygen flow to your brain. snake wrapped throat, gradual death. at a deficit. clouded, distant. give me a miracle, release. i can’t pretend, know the feeling. life as a substance slave. searing pain, crippling. you’ve dug too deep

these days i avoid mirrors. stop myself from facing the destruction. try to feel normal. always, in the back of my mind is the fear of unknown. will there be competence or negligence. what could go wrong will go wrong. want to give you a good life but i’m riddled with problems. not a warrior. luck and only luck

wounds creep in with no warning, like a doe sitting in the crosshairs. what you thought was gone rises to the surface. choke back the tears. heart races, frantic. never really gone, just stagnant. i’d rather not feel these feelings. i need a warning, anything but this feeling. too hard to live in a world where torture is entertainment

fell victim, false prophet. ignore all signs, oblivious. tactics manipulate, reel in. talons dig, piercing skin. crooked teeth, i see through you. plastered smile, pacify. single figure, hands gesture. words affirm, eyes flicker. promise freedom, prey on weakness. capture language, snap your fingers, prey on weakness. lay in grass, lust for ignorance. perform, dance. words perplex. crooked teeth, preach lies. sea of white. eyes flicker with control and greed. you’re the same

in darkness, the cavity is calling my name. familiar cold in my bones. i'm faced with all that i'm not. idle hands, the easiest to explain. the shame is sickening. will i dig myself out only to find i'm looking back down? "you're not the only one." valued by the hours we have, not the thousands they make/take. cast aside whoever dares stand up. i watch dawn break again. make this last. pull the rug out. dig myself out. talk myself down

land, arid. born unwanted with a will to survive. how were you treated. abandoned, left for dead, innocent. living proof of in/humanity. pierce the resin, stave off death. softly tremble. cars rush past, engines roar. wait for salvation. how could you

never present, absent. life is tedious when everything needs fixing. trapped in thought, distracted. wound up so tight, break all my bones. every remedy, choke it down. give me a cure, calm my nerves, stop my thoughts. let it lie. stay awake with no shut off valve. endless rotation of regrets and missteps til light creeps in. monotone drone floats from the speaker. not everything needs fixing. let it lie. let it die

walk through a ghost town at semester’s end. no one for miles, navigate piles. sift, dig for a grail of plastic. lost and forgotten, with raised letters. get in the car. don’t say a word. keep your head down. crossing counties with a ticking bomb. as the rush runs course, feel breath on neck. i am occupied, i don’t mean to ignore. swipe, swipe. fear sets in. the trick, know when to quit. tear, shred, hide evidence. they budget for this

high tower, fragile spine. slow, steady, in decline. spoon shoved down your throat. peaceful, bucolic, every wish and want fulfilled. words cut down bit by bit. all that’s left, nervous tics. every opportunity. tv falls from the second floor. restrain. call from the psych ward

before you disappeared

separated, kept walled in. slay enemies with their own weapons. if roles were reversed you would do the same. whisper, prepare, advance. the calm before stormy weather, savor stillness. those held down will come up for air. when you’re at the bottom, there’s nowhere left to turn. put my feet in fire

born in the spring, wrench and bullhorn. threat from the outset. never compromise, always terrorize. determined and wild. carpenter with long brown hair but not as famous. hear the ancients. feel present, peaceful giants. climb, don’t let go. clearcut your way to heaven. strip mines won’t save you from burning. we can’t win. drive the stake in. hold hands, lie back. tires kiss lips. human barricade. predator takeover. is the money that good. is it really that good. get lost in the woods, fill your lungs, be quiet, be still. march, chant, sit, lay. exhaust tactics. climb, tie the chain, turn key. can’t clearcut your way to heaven. strip mines won't save you from burning. slightest dent, provocation, wreaking havoc. they’ll extinguish any risk that you pose to their precious stockpile. bomb goes off, cancer spreads. in death, vision lives on. clearcut your way to heaven. strip mines won't save you from burning. we can’t win, drive the stake in. they can’t win
