focus/dilate
regain senseless mindless controlling substance
numb back! cascading walls
billowing; resentment coating thick-
sticky hands (wet with coercion)
with trickery
crimson lines forever spelling mockery
mimickery and stillness
so many decisions still shake me
and I ask only for them to take me
fill me change me beat me love me
find me worthy
of this ever shortening timeline
laid over wrongs we never knew from rights
severed songs and crooked sight
the sobriety lapses and sinks
back flat on its stupid back
inverted regret; the shade of deep
bruises and careful lack
bones cra/ck but never (listen)
chased; racing steps snap
on cold wet pavement
and some (how) (where) (time)
my eyes roll back and in
surrendering sight for vision-that
tastes (like ashes and dusk)
and div/ision
all the greens in the world rival nothing
but a cold-hearted extradition
simply put means nothing understood
against the frigid chill of ice-locked life
(and all these empty decisions)
