Reticent-
Exit through the recesses of your own mind. It is a dingy dirty dark delapidated theater.No light to claw your way through. No light to claw your way out. Reticent. Its like digging with nothing but your own two hands. holes can only get so deep. then by the time it bottoms out. life creation build own walls. to find comfort surrounded by skeletons. reticent. except to witnesses of the final end. six feet under i cant ask for more. what itself is value when that value is poor. in shock my mind is in pain. drag myself from the bottom again and again and again and again. holes can only get so deep. then by the time it bottoms out. life creation built own walls. to find comfort surrounded by skeletons
Beneath-
Beneath. thoughts dont always leave the ID. they sneak about in the night. exchanging glances. serpent like slither to their swagger. bodies tend to breakdown just with time. half eaten it struggled forward into the abyss. knowing not what was in front but clearly whats behind him. beneath. eggs tend to crack easier. once pressure is exerted. brains tend to snap when pressure becomes overbearing. bodies tend to breakdown just with time. creeping and caniving influence working its way through the nerves of the back. spine bristles. limbs sharpen. beneath.
Black Bile-
Licking the wound has become not enough. Plunged fingernails into flesh.Scorched meat erupts spewing pus. carve the edges cleave the insides. let the excess blood drain. let the excess blood drain. keeping it closed is unnecessary. Hungry. Cold. The black bile working its way along the outer edges of your mouth is whats calling me closer. The scar is leaking foam as the tendons give out. sucking energy morning noon and night. the black spores float in and out. the black spores float in and out. leaving no breathing room. collapse. relapse. i seem to have been here before. hungry cold bloody and alone.
Gullet Gag-
The people in power put a hit on you. then smile and grin the deed is done. vomit.gullet.groin.brain. state sanctioned decapitation. state sanctioned assassination. corpse hard to transfer under the lens. quickly saw the limbs in halves. vomit.gullet.groin.brain. state sanctioned decapitation state sanctioned assassination. ARGH. ARGH. Kill to solve the critic. sought to kill idea. assassinated as a construct. a journalist suffocates. on his knees in another time and place it could happen to you. hope that makes you feel sick.
Collateral Damage-
brace yourself for collateral damage. its never the innocent that can answer wars questions. half empty eyes always except the worst. inevitable damage. collateral damage.the sensation of fire filling up your eyesockets should be expected.half full hands never accept the worst. inevitable damage. collateral damage.
