RECURRENT NOXIOUS FLOWERS OF DESPAIR (9-1-1996, Galveston Island, Texas)
an atomic implosion
abruptly
bloomed forth
in the dark
pit
of all my
too long suppressed
subconscious
collective despair
effectively turning me
inside out
completely abandoned
alone and lost
in the suddenly
realized
no longer hidden
inner horrors
of my own
accumulatively inverted
now exposed
man made
now seemingly manifest
synaptically challenged
pseudo insanity
self perceived
as now noted
here
in this briefly
expressed
distantly sensed
inwardly reflective moment
of newly arisen
self recognition
spontaneously spilled forth
out onto this page
so loosely mined
up from the
previously unseen depths
of the vague
subtle
shaky shadowland realm
shallows
of my restless
subconscious minds
most sensitive
uncertain unstable
unknown
though perhaps
even darker
peripherally lurking
looming
next suddenly relapsed
attack
or release
of my no
longer suppressed
nor hidden
innermost
deepest doubts
and fears
to either explosively
bloom forth again
into yet another
inner atomic implosion
of full on
deep despair
or else
who knows
perhaps
at long last
maybe even
completely disappear
forevermore
from my long
wearied journeys
day to day
still only mortal
present temporal
human life
