Coasting, Ghosting

All hail turbulence!

Morphine-drip riddles rack beneath ribs
Senseless ends between could've-been friends
Drug (candy) store coated reality breakers
Too available not to request
Curtailed cameos
Showing up in the breach
Dipping out when connections peak
Tinder-sparked flinty facades
Stoned and stony shores where souls used to quench
Quietly unclenching
It's all about intent (consent)
Swiping right for a night
Sweeping left all the rest
Packs of China panties await in cellophane until debut
Cheap kicks with neat little frills
Home again
Off again
A cold consoling bed to burrow behind
Dehydrated head grind-
'I'm entitled to my mind'
Tomorrow ticks by skeleton clock hands
Closing tight around vain ventures
Frank and furtive frameworks
Finding neat little vices that fry
Compartmentalized apartment lies
Immunize against incoming intimacy-
(Let them try!)
Anchor accommodations for impending appetites
Scarves forsaken on strange floorboads-
Never retrieved anymore
Tension sourly poured-
Like last tumblers before closing call
But we never extend further invitations
And we cannot stand home
