LEVITY
Feeling terrible
Melt your ashes on my tongue
Tasting them like nothing
I walk to walk, stiff joints crack,
Bone-tip
The time that knows no bounds
Knows them indeed.
Keep talking while sounds pervade my own ears,
Phthisic illnesses
Lungs ache with fire and smoky breath
Deflagrating mind, smoldering spirit.
Crawl back into the whiplash shock,
That know-nothing watery pain.
Volatile prescription
Expect nothing
Enter knowingly
Along the reacting path that feels
Of wet paper against the skin
Wanting to know who even cares
Though it doesn't fucking matter.
Tell me like efflorescent, red-scented, earth-stirring
Movements that bend stony flakes and render
Immunity useless.
Cytotoxic dream walker
Whose hands induce parallel spells
Of dark lights and bright sounds
And spin pictures of ornate nature
And worshiped intensity.
Let me know god again.
Feeling good
