Riding the Nitsua DragonA Poem by Lesley WoodO' Blessed Darkness cover me...O'blessed Darkness cover me Blanket the rushing words & flashing blurs; The disjointed fragments of blinking walls, Lights crashing off and on, Blue, red, green-the marionettes dancing, So many together and all alone. It is all a show. The hiccup of life, the vomiting dream. I see my life before me; A slush of goo, The stink of this world, Or is that the scallops & escargot? What have you done to me? Everything I do myself- This dream, this life... Why do I hurt myself so? Punching mirrors, vomit on porcelain. Dark, thick- My throne for many minutes. Time ticking, time ticking- I was unaware. My wooden box was silent, My wooden life is tragic. The voices through the walls, Through the fog and haze- You okay? You okay? You okay? I croak a positive. I have no steady legs- When have I ever? I have no: stable brain clear thought decisive moment steady action fruitful journey- All slipping through my fingers, Like the vomitous goo of tonight. Everything we have, we lose. Owning anything is an illusion. Holding on is meaningless. I want to go home. (Everything is nothing) I want to go home (there is no sense in anything) i want to go home. Please, hold me now. © 2018 Lesley Wood |
