DEAD MAN: ANCHOR
all
my heroes are ghosts. and all my idols are slaves subdivided til we die inside this island we raised every year we pray for change. kneel down and lie to our angels told my father i was stabilized then cried on the train washed up. sun-bleached boneyard phantom riding a wave calcified in utero and born in a grave digging holes for pennies for a ticket to ride tracks rumbling beneath me as we shift into drive our memories are dry. our wells have runneth to dirt only wish to shed this body so there's nothing to hurt malfunctioning fully, drunk from 11 to 30 on 73rd with nothing but a Ventra and Slurpee i dont think heaven deserves me. this feels ugly to say stay hurting everyone that loves me for a second of space i am your anchor. coral reef that juts from meters below who loves to let you go and then remember our moments there's no depth to my poetry. more def leppard than jodeci searching in vanity for some empathy .. hopefully messages in motion, swandive all that we built ye i walk through the hollows in this valley of filth pefectionism petrify my metre in stone confronted all my demons once then left them alone better left to rot than save whatever withheld my letters to self - softcover memoirs of anonymous helplessness someone asked me if it bores me yet. i wish it was yes i wish to let these cuffs dissolve and lay me to rest a prisoner to primal urge for weekly repentance thinking watercolor, writing symbols, speaking in sentences personality reckless, read: addiction to deathwish every morning sunshine lights my window beating me senseless lead me to medicine. i'm as sick as a dog buried in literature like it can tell me whats wrong its like an alarm, of impending doom ringing in an empty room. ghoul alive in destitution grapevine fires my wine is putrid. metaphive and metamucil spitting snot and retching beauty. lemongrass incense patchouli so fucking foolish. you're the same without me, truly i sit and melt and die in unison. wish i'd never left our room here i sit reciting eulogies forgotten by noon leaving footprints in the snowfall every morning, i choose to be apart from you. although my memories move me to write your value loosely, to me you were everything dear i need to go. its never been so clear. dm

you're
simply a bother. a brooding author missing his father "pen me my eulogy"-- dismissing the offer rather. let's converse over raspberry tea, for just a few hours. catch the ferry at 3 imagine if i'd stayed, how merry we'd be "what ifs" and "start overs"; share them with me what's a fair fee? heat up the spoon then dig through my collection of vinyl at noon forgotten how to smile i just sit in my room constructing all my heroes and idols a tomb before they die they can pour me a fifth and give you some money for Broadway and 6th i gave you my time; the most cherished of gifts i think you just wanted my wine. and my spliffs that's why i've drawn a new Line. there it Is you grew tired of my cigarette butts and paperbacks i said some things to you. i wish i could take it back you then told me of qualities and traits i lack cut me some slack. been sober for years russian roulette: lacking all fear pistol in the incense box. 1 in the chamber would never take my own life, it's strictly for danger when you came to my door you were the sickliest stranger asking me for favors and reconciliation sarcastically clapping a second ovation ask me to read one of my pensive narrations or can't you see that i'm drowning in malaise? choking on irony as i turn my next page hoping the fire in me burns til my grave pa Last edited by Pharaohs Army; 12-04-2019 at 12:52 AM. |
