I Still Don't Like Kerouac, Papa
When your father dies of an opioid overdose,
your stepmother will call
at 1:27pm on a gray and freezing January afternoon.
She can't articulate much of anything,
or you can't hear much of anything
or all words are caught and suffocated into a quantum vortex
because you can't remember being told
"your father is dead, and he died from an opiate overdose,"
you only remember suddenly knowing, as the truth
rises from its depression cave
stretches its long limbs,
complains about its back,
puts on thermal long johns, ...

Accursed Poppy
Jumping from my skin
Hair-raising flashes and waves
Like winter breezes
Haunted yawns howling
Visionary eyes tearing
Decrepit visage
Memories of sun
Fading obliviously
Looking outward dark
Nervously stretching
Tensley vasoconstricted
Muscle and tendon
Knee jerk reaction
Kicking and thrashing non-stop
Craving for more dope
Obsessing over

The enemy that is me
The emptiness that is filling me
Is suffocating me
Paralyzing me
It’s fucken eating me away
The days fly with no purpose
Meaningless to do lists
To make this existence feel somewhat worth living
Somewhat Ok
I’ve ran all the good parts of me and my shambolic life straight into the ground
To cover the shame I smoke
To forget the failure I smoke
To avoid the guilt I smoke
I don’t even get high anymore
But I smoke to be numb

Rock bottom
f'Hurt people hurt people
To put it short and simple I am a broken woman breaking things
Everything I touch goes to shit
the whole "hell in a hand basket" expression
Cheap caked up concealer to hide the tracks, when I love myself the very least
My life is no longer recognizable to me
spiraling down I find myself drowning in this depression
I've lost the grit to speak up for my life
Long gone is the hope that there will even be a life to speak up for by the time that I'm done
Whatever snapped this time must've been a...

Cleansing
There is something so very consoling for me about the rain
The way the universe speaks,
Perhaps even cries
Expressing itself through the roaring thunder and strikes of lightening
I've always found myself in a state of effortless imperturbabilty
Consuming myself in the rain and all it brings
The feel of it on your skin, the smell, the sound
Bringing life to all on the verge of or that have already died
I could use a good cleansing
I am filthy beyond belief
Beyond what I am willing to admit to myself or say out loud

Will You?
Every night the locals fight,wage war upon the street, it's f.t.m* and us & them with copper's on the beat,
So many hidden agendas it's the calm before the storm, and so much Police corruption hides behind the uniform,
But what d'you do? We ain't brand new, we're breaking every rule,we're Scousers on a mission see, here in Liverpool,
As yella fella* crawling by out headed to the job, no doubt with much harassment there for Walton's Deli Mob*.
Our Walton boys are soldier's, and this shit I can't condone,
In the last decade alone we've buried three of Walton's...

the misstep, the secret kept, eyes wet as I fall...
Imposter syndrome
simply the symptom of sickness
sinking in like thinking if I kill the witness
Easy to ask for forgiveness
Need no permission to spit this
off the prescription, I get in
fits of dissociation

any pain, any joy
empty signal in the noise

Bad To Be Glad, But Only Parapsychologically So. (See?)
Dark confuses light
diffusing into gelatinous
pieces of organic matter.
Maybe these colors don't belong together.
Maybe, truth be known, is a mere
state of deluded ego'mind running for dear life
across through evergreen and
permafrost to a loverly string of payment(s)
for that cherished Flo'da beach
priority prospects parlayed through Jesus Christ's

My Brown Eyed Boy
I fell in love with a brown eyed boy, it’s not a love I can say I enjoy.
I’m addicted to him but I never would have predicted the pain that would be inflicted.
I should have detected that he injected drugs,
Maybe he felt neglected and heroin made him feel protected.
I don’t think he understands who his choices have affected.
I’m addicted to an addict. Who would have suspected…
I don’t know how I got myself into this mess, but as you would guess it causes me stress.
But it was love at first sight, he’s such a delight… when we don’t fight.
When I stay...

Our Addictions
You used to make me feel whole, now im just a lost soul, I lost all control, it was my heart that you stole, now I’m looking for the restart. Laying next to you in bed and still feel worlds apart.
The pain I’m feeling is off the chart, and the cocaine made you insane and I keep asking why I remain as I watch you miss your vein. Man, I really let my life go down the drain.
This wasn’t part of my plan, you pace the room checking the can, talking about “if it’s not there we gotta meet up with the middle man, ya know the one who drives the mini-van” fuck, when did...
