Irony
I lie wordless-shaking-on the smeared rug of the gondola
as it floats above the smogged city and the lamb of the
moment bleeds slow-one drop at a time-beautifully fluid
with consequences dictating the very course of action and
at times inaction my lips are sewn shut in nylon-clinical
I lie still-blood frozen-hiding my stigma-my scars from
the eternity of ecstasy of those million eyes that poke
thru glassy haze-prying-dying in fashion-in vain-in pain
even I die a little as wind strums smooth-strange notes
while my visage gets skinned-torn-crumpled-wrung-eroded
I lie on thin air-like a Dadaist installation-for a few seconds
before crashing headlong into the arid smog with the stench
of burnt flesh and metal sending me to sickening highs until
I drown in the centre and fall in the charred ruins-complete
with over-populated death camps and aborted fetus that swim
I lie on the thin crust of a dead ocean with dense-stale blood
mixed with things unnameable-that clings to my soul in a manner
cohesive and convincing as I fight and choke with the muck
it heightens everything and suddenly it all starts to burn
shameless-nameless-wasted-wanton-sapped-spat I stir-startled
I lie about basically everything-to an extent that my dreams
lie to me-cheating me in ways that DSM often fails to decode
So it's a lifetime-of dreams gone wrong and having read about
the DMT-dream connection the shotgun is just redundant now

I really like this. Wonderful sinister imagery and use of words, pulls me head first into the story. Though I did find the ending a bit anti-climactic.

Thank you for the visitation.
It was a spur-of-the-moment thing and still needs something IMO. When the time is right. May be.:)

you really are starting to come into your own true form. You are tapping into something most people could never even dream of grasping themselves
