ARR 1988 - Flipbook - Page 74
Insanity Part m
Sun's naked breath weak upon desolation
imposing shadows gone, monsters revealed:
only wretched flies
I try to close my eyes,
but my eyelids are gone
grasped branches grow teeth, bite my hands
body bruises as cliff fists beat me
and toss me down.
Below,reaching up, a black abyss:
fingers of omnipotent time
comforting fears replace loathing
my fingernails touch soothing nothingness
Then quickly!
Thin tree-arms stretch out,
weave a net, arrest my fall.
Now a reclining empress
My divan in the wind
Arm hanging indolently toward ......nowhere.
The limbo of my choice:
Tenuously suspended between my private hells.
please let me drown
please don't let me down
