I am in an
Underground Sea
Pain floating riot
drugs on drugs
floating
menthol vapors
incense
coffee whiskey
prayers
meditations
quotations
transcend art
suffering
body and an
internet
puppy meme
I write,
eyes rolled up
to brow
p’s be
come b’s
waves of sea on
seas
sex-less ache
washes
down dirty left
useless arm
traveling
without destination, fool
fucker
ice on scapula
ice on shoulder
ice on back, jaw
grinding
under blade
teeth like, a
plumb
line drawn
down
body taking
sides: left
right
female male yin
yang
motherside
merges with
father, iron
blanket
spread
across
broken not
broken
a whole family
of
pain its own
language & punctuation,
not
broken, I sleep
strange whispers
across evening
spread, Perfect
Sleep
hypnosis track complete
–
drawers of scarves jewelry
a watch rich finery my
sister’s hand fingers
a message whispered: Lupus
Was it for me?
I wake
before feet
descend
into the shallow
end of morning,
next move
