Waterlogged Warhead Blue Raspberry

I smash a cap on my head and

r

u

n out

breathing shallow air

hoping to hell that i make it the few feet to the car

as I duck my head in

punctured jelly moons leak over sleeping silkworms

some call it charming fat like some coveted sports car

the deep loathing of my permanent smiling eyes …no matter the season

F l o w i n g

silent glass snakes s s reaching trembling chin

falling like stones off a cliff

into black cotton sea

Staining like linseed oil on paint

quaking

collar bones

I steady

my breath

and hit send

ring ring

ring ring

someone picks up.

relief…

words in some particular order

It never mattered

I end the call

muscle memory- foot on brake, index on press to start

simultaneously

the car rumbles to life

like a well oiled hinge

bluetooth

plays... today it was

Time Flies- Seb Wery

composer

Pianist - piano keys crashed into atmospheric emotion

storm blue waves well up like

vomit

my foot hits the gas pedal

I’m gone

and it erupts

Volcano like

relentless release

searing through

E v e r y t h i n g

lungs burn

chest ache

the world is blurring by

a tragically pretty,

hazy,

Monoclastic world

somehow I make it

through the black and white

avant garde reel

I park

I breathe

I looked the wild thing in the eyes

splotchy red skin, puffy orbital, water retained nostrils

Persephone’s winter…

some inner voice whispers

don’t forget the lip balm - went for the jugular

nothing I’m not used to

at the very least, the cerulean blue hat

embroidered with a blinding daisy

and the words

All Good.
