Throwing Dirt, Smearing Words


time
lost breath /

lost time //

minutes

hours

pass in an instant///



Like Pulling Teeth
ripping out root

from jaw,

spitting bloody mess

into the sink.

soft and tender gums

naked

defenseless.

smear that bloody grin

across the mirror.



we stop laughing at old jokes
we joke

about it.

it's never easy

but thats the game we're

willing to play.

so it drags

on and on,

its always

the details

that drive you

to madness.

let your head

touch the wall,

then

break

through.
