Current mood: the type of mood that made vangogh cut off his ear
i am intoxicated with words
i am floating
soaring
flying
i am swimming in a sea
of self-destruction
self-discovery

he came to me
like words come to poets
slow at first
seeping through veins
out fingertips
seeping slow
and low
and cutting-
caustic like the september moon
then fast and biting
vitriolic by nature
pulsing
shooting
never ending

he came to me
lounged in my mind and
on my carpet
talking in tongues
and with symbols
i never knew when he was being real
i never knew when he was being

cold and bold
in my old age
i tell him to try the door
he doesn't matter anymore
he has kept me alive
with his strong will
the same will
that leaves me up at night
almost breathing
hands on hair
on face
squirming for exhaustion
groping for the light
groping for my head
for my belly-
the blood that runs deep
and thick
blood red-
blood that hasn't yet hit the cold air.

theres something inside of me
i tell him
i tell him we created it
i tell him he made me drown
in my own lack of words
its only beginning
i say
i bite my lip until blood
knowing
its all over
