Revenge


Depression kicks thy neighbor down,

Escalating,

Spiraling,

Right smack in the face,

Body,

Groin.

Drinking espresso,

Listening to music,

Lana Del Rey,

West Coast,

East Coast.

More pills filter through,

Body, veins and senses,

Memoires exfoliate,

Dark childhood past surfaces to the top.

Brothers’ torment,

Neighborhood twin bullies,

Throwing,

Rocks and twigs,

Branches.

Revenge levels in my senses,

To protect,

Over-bearing,

Family blood,

Making a plan.

Shit out into a plastic bag.

Revenge is successful,

Accomplished,

Off into the sunset we

Skip,

Jet,

Run.

Revenge.
