Plus the reaction in the Tumblverse is always ‘repeatedly get hit by a dog and fall down the stairs’.
assassin , addict
add another lucky strike
fuck this funk
as the stars start to talk
and the correct course circles back
around
about being reborn -
ante up and bring a new normalcy
back into your life
beat back the blackening scourge
and rip at the rotation of
earthly equivocals
wraith of another written life
leering longer into the blackness
angst allowed to hang around
bittersweet bellyglow of days untold
wretch against rivaled ambiguity
and drag again again again
a cancer is greying my mind
course correct and spin back into
this smokey room
maybe it won’t work again
with this numbness gnawing at my neck
pulling down into my lungs
again around my head
heedless of the mental mastication
the end burns into the night
and over into the sunrise
this is going to be another long one
