.

sometimes i just want

to wrap myself

up into a cocoon with you

and never emerge.  

her

it's so easy to love you

when your feather-fly face 

hovers over placid waters

and your eyes

eyes like birthmarks on the sun

dart around for a nice spot

to lay me down easily. 

🌂

and they 

thrashed about

a jumbled mess

of flesh and limbs

!!!

endorphins

adrenaline

coarse through me 

wanna fight

someone

bring them

to knees

wanna unleash

the dormant

beast within

the primate 

bottled

grows so thin

want to free 

the hounds

that roam

the hell

want to free

the thing

i know

so well 

must live

to show

i can

i will

must live

to show

i have

it still 

no man

nor god

no helping hand

can keep

me from

the farthest land 

to roam

to find

something 

i know 

to live

to feel

to breathe

to grow 

P.O.T.

hard to sleep

as the city sleeps

when my brain

rife with plumes

shot from fog machines

billows

and the distant

future

becomes

not so distant.
