Tired hands shake in steady rhythms
Violent spasms soon demand abscission
New attainments glisten
Silent whilst I formulate opinion
Realise it’s unsafe not to remain and whimper
I just wait for Winter
Voice in wind reflects human condition
I discard immersion
Body’s movement Pyrrhic
Condemned to observe
Commit to incisions then question my worth
Mouth beneath the surface
I’m submerged in murky river
First I learned to swim
Next I’ll learn to speak without a quiver in my voice
Spread the ointment thin
Exude a noise to signify I felt the sting
It burns in my throat
Still hurts to grow
Purge into a sink and search through it for gold
Superfluousness sent to Hades down below
When in Rome…
Cerberus stood at his post, murderous
Prepared to pull the flesh from bone
Writhing by my lonesome
I’m high for the moment, so it goes
Numerous attempts to soothe unstable soul
In dissociation mode
