The desire to destroy
Spreads like black flood in my veins
It squeezes and chokes
And there is no air left
Only dull remains
Few shattered pieces of my brain
Empty eye sockets
And screaming neural waves
All my strength
Dissolves into nothingness
Into the darkness unseen
Into the place unknown
Grinning nightmares
Quietly dance on my grave
I dug it myself
By my own I sink in
As only when I'm dead
I can be complete
Spreads like black flood in my veins
It squeezes and chokes
And there is no air left
Only dull remains
Few shattered pieces of my brain
Empty eye sockets
And screaming neural waves
All my strength
Dissolves into nothingness
Into the darkness unseen
Into the place unknown
Grinning nightmares
Quietly dance on my grave
I dug it myself
By my own I sink in
As only when I'm dead
I can be complete

a dark library underneath my pillow
and a voice whose words jerk, jut
and stab quietly into one another
so i may never understand;
it was two AM, dawn of a decade
and here a ghost has me motionless in 1933.

i never met my grandfather till today--
he dies in 1975
and in 2020 he is born
at the bottom of a drawer in the kitchen,
his coffin and crib:
he is swaddled in moth-eaten dishtowels by a nameless undertaker
(or perhaps an autophagic author himself);
his crib and coffin:
he is buried a lifetime

you escape my arms

I have been struggling with some weird states of mind lately - which is why I haven't been so active on DA over the last couple of weeks. Finally I felt the urge to put some of those feeling into words..
