Medicine

A dusty bottle upon a shelf

Whispers “Please drink me”

It call when you’re alone

To take your memory

To leave you feeling stoned-

Begin your descent

And travel deeper

Down the rabbit hole

 

The familiar taste of poison

Brushes past your lips

Soft, lingering, reminiscent

Of another lover’s kiss

Just close your eyes

And drink it in

It’s time to take

Your medicine
