Total Recall
A pint of the Devil's Springs
A pack of razor blades
A calligraphy pen
A jar of ink
Blank sheets of of paper......
I take two swigs to the head...
Straight no chaser..
Then another swig..to bolster my courage
Sensations of acidic heat trickles
Down my esophagus
Tingling warmth engulfs my face
Eyes begin to slant
Yet my vision has never been clearer...
Time to do the deed...
Three deep slashes to my wrist
Of my right hand...
My write hand..
Blades so sharp I barely feel them
Only the squirting blood gives me
Affirmation of my success
For I am now a human hourglass
Watching burgundy essence
Escape my body
Another swig of the Devil's Spring
I dip my pen into that jar of ink....
Expertly filling the shaft ensuring
That none drips from the tip
Nothing must be wasted..not now
The 'clock' on my wrist is ticking...
Tick tock...tick tock...
Drip drop....drip drop
I feel the adrenaline kick
My heart pumps harder...
Blood drains...faster
My mind open..expands...
Reaching beyond reason..
YES!!!
The glorious trauma
I've been searching for...
INHALE...EXHALE...
I must pace myself
For this write...
The write of my life...
Question: Can my pen spill
The truth of my Soul..
Before this fountain of blood
Stills my beating heart?...
Ahhh! The ecstasy of it all
The thrall...
HA!!!
Another swig...
Now...answer the questionnaire...
I write...
Am I an act in reverse?
Is my birth actually my death?
Is my crying actually my last dying breaths?...
Dammit!....
The blood is dripping on the ink...
Instinctively I try to wipe it off..
Only to create a smudge of dark red
With streaks of pitch black..
OOOOhhhh! The random beauty of it...
Keep writing I convince myself...
Is birth itself an act of forgetfulness?
As I pass through the canal of Eternity I wonder..
Where does my memory fade to?
Umbilical cord severed..
Severed from....what?
SHit!!!
Am I a message in a bottle?
Nothing more than an accumulation of moments...
Capped off in the frailty of this malleable flesh?
Just a note pasted against Infinity's wall
as a reminder..
A reminder to my future self?
Well damn....
What would i say to my future self?...
Be it 100 years from now
Or 1,000 years from now..
Or a million years from now
What would i say about this place?
AWW fuck!
The blood is dripping every where..
Hmmmm...
Well I'll just dip my pen into my wrist
And let my veins and arteries become my inkwell..
Yep.. sounds like a plan to me..
Hahaaaa...
Another swig of the Devil's Springs...
Ahhhh...
Now..where was I?
Oh yeah..the questionnaire..
If we are indeed Spiritual beings
Having a Human experience
Then why do we feed ourselves such insidious lies
When we all know that
Death exacts the Truth of us as toll
For passage?
Did God gift us Lucifer as a learning tool?
Gaia as salvation?
Are we circus clowns trying to
Perform an impossible balancing act?
Another swig...ahhhh
Another dig into my flesh
As I twist my pen Soul deep inside my wrist
Smudging more blooded ink
Damn
And it is here I realize...
I am the Sage of my demise
I am the author of my own smear campaign
And with so many questions cursing my namesake
I guess I'll narrow it down to this last one
Since I'll be dead soon enough
What is it that I want leave behind?
And what do I want to take with me as Eye
Close this chapter of my Journey?
