Walls are wailing
Mind is failing
Pills are dumped
From sewer hailing
🫳🏼😫😫😵💫😫😫🫳🏼
Skittery jittery
Hickory dickory
Hands a’shaking
Like I’m all liquory
🌑💥⚡️☔️💨🌚
Vacant no more
Roaches explore
Skritzing feelers
Cranium sore
🪳🪳🐜🪱🕷️🐞🪳🪳
Antenna wiggle
Jumbled squiggle
Mental static
Heaving jiggle
🙈🐧🦇🫎🦅
Cursed eyes itch
Ugly warty witch
Bed layered in razors
Acrimonious bitch
🧟♀️🧌🧌🧟♂️🧙🏿
Slimy feeling
Skin peeling
Bloody pools
Senses reeling
👀👁️🧠🫀👀
Bladder pissed
Toilet missed
Corner will do
Rattlesnake hissed

Lights flicker
Neon sticker
Marquis death sign
Let’s not bicker
🪼🔪📍💣📍🔪🪼
Membrane thin
Transparent skin
Raked bloody trails
Get out! Let me in!

Octopi infest
Grey matter nest
Pounding head
Let me rest!

Scrabble on floor
Search by door
Goddamned rehab
No pills no more

Black robe
Powdered wig
Gavel wielding
Judgmental prig

Roiling abdomen brewing
Seething acid accruing
Vomitus all over
Contents spewing

What asshole’s drumming?
Shitty heavy metal thrumming
Eardrums, snare drums
Hard bass strumming

Sanctimonious fucking whore
Can’t take much more
Please Doc …
Just one fix more … ….

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

That cockroach 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It was a jumpscare!! Loved your poem!
Thank you for writing this Andrew. This is an important message to put out there. Not only that I am a huge Alice Cooper fan. It is such a talented singer, songwriter, and musician. His voice is so very versatile he can sing hard rock, he can sing new wave And punk, and he can beautifully and effectively sing a ballad. He’s one of my all-time favorites.
