Sensory RiotA Poem by Marian ElizabethShould I take another hit? This here is the brim of sane, Right here, The space that my knees erase When I fight to hold in piss. I wobble I feel a moth in my throat With wings of adrenaline Fluttering in frenzy rush To liberate itself I swallow Choking on the moldy fur Imagining that its head Hits my uvula Again Again Again I hold ethereal vomit And I swear its eyes expand I laugh and I hear a screech Melodies that transfix Coming from my tired lungs Where the beast has gone to die. It feels vulgar, this death, like dust Its antennae like blades of wheat Long and lithe Barely moving And I go for one more hit. © 2016 Marian Elizabeth |
