Back Again

Tell me again, where I am from

For I find the swamps homely

But scary to admit.

And hear the footsteps time louder

But a stranger, in the corridor of hope

As the footsteps always go in reverse.

Morose filled

Days progress's enmity

Digress grins

At the helm of a pleated beautiful nightmare.

So! I dare you to tell me again

& see the wrath of the sun

Slumping life

In front.

Horrid Seduction

Dangling skeleton closets

At broad daylight

Brewed in dusk escapades

Tongue-tied to fallacies

Brood words spilled in drunkenness

was all of it.

Blended in trouble

Replies swollen

Moments swearing

Dust-dampening trickling

clock rushing-ly winding

It was time.

Mopped in fear

Perused by anxiety

Chest rapidly pumping

Eyes untamed scrolling

end to end

Uncertainty swallowed

The piper had come to play.

Feet funneled

Blows rumbling

Daybreak ghosting

Truth scorching

Straight into flying pans

Inflamed in regrets

into vowing never again.
