The Animals With No Teeth
It's funny when you go in
after some time away.
A new looking-glass.
Just to take a look.
I have to wonder
what I was ever doing there.
With the animals.
But all the other mammals face their reality.
They are unknowingly brave.
These things are cowards.
Hiding from their own static-ness
as if doing nothing
is too hard for them.
They suck on balloons
snort powders
swallow pills
chase shots.
Anything to feel brave.
Anything to feel free.
Trapped in a decaying body

Oxygen
I was here
gasping
a coal-glow ember
existing on fumes
nibbling the kindling scattered
on the floor
I crawl
sputtering in the dark
hunger in my veins for more
more than this life of drift wood
and leaf litter starvation
I spit at it
curse the gnawing growling grumble
that rumbles through the night
days of nothing but grey dross
sparks of embers scattered to the sky
floating far beyond the lowly existence
I can...

Whiskey Fixes Everything
Bar doors crack open
the way stale beer nuts crunch
beneath your teeth
a scatter of broken dreams
that fled their drinking buddies
then melted to the door-seals trying to escape
a fluro light flickers
static buzz
the way your brain wires after
the first couple
where senses dial themselves to 11
and whiskey feels like your soul
glowing warm in the centre of your chest
just to the right of your heart
the grime and grit
go down like a cheap prostitute
one that swallows for the right...

An aside note from some place i left in the dust
a reflection
of a reflection
of a reflection
scattered trash on the genetic highway
a man with clenched fists
a mans face snarled in rage
my face imposes as the next generation
shattered glass an inverted sky
sparkles of sharp stars
I drop to my knees to pray
screaming at the rending agony
of violence
of history's bloodied boot
soaked in distilled amnesia
to make the aged leather supple
licking droplets of my own blood
from the wicked curves of perditions razor
one last...

The Race
It's hard to keep fighting
even harder to win
To stand up underneath the pressure
and not give into the sin
The sin that will break me
and lead me to death
The addiction that will consume me
and steal away my last breath
The demons inside me
tearing at my soul
Whispering doubts in my heart
that I will never be whole
Everyday is a struggle
between the good and the bad
Fighting against temptations
to go back to the life I once had
So with the best of intentions
I will run this race

Opioids and Mutilation
That was your game
at least it was when we met
Downing morphine like it was going out of fashion and you the trend setting queen
Slow release tablets
white lightning chasers with a nibbled kebab for company
A certain stench masked behind Mr muscle
Almost as if someone had opened the door a tiny crack as if to summon death
Those tastes
rationed out on the end of tiny spoons
Just enough to numb the tiny pricks
but nowhere close to kill the pain
Head spinning from the oncoming freight train migraine...

Subconscious Wanderlust/Inspired by You from
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Galatians 6:8
Subconscious Wanderlust
Tell me what to say to silence the whisper
as I expose the narrative of these lies that speak through images
When faces are triggers before their seen
the object of my disaffection
and a history that haunts me with temptation
I dreamt betrayal and woke up seeing myself as the monster in my nightmares
God forbid my sins uncommitted make their...
