Vitality Drawn Thin as a Crack.
I crave that weary, empty cave
Those unremitting ribbons of geology
Those booming echoes drip by drip
Sneaking down the cranial walls
Etching with acid despair.
I crawl into the water, weighted by the world
Slipping into the muddy bottom
Staring down the midnight eels.
Vitality drawn thin as a crack.
Do not inhale, don’t do it!
Do not drown in watery inches!
Wait for one more morning sun
Shafting through the silting creek beds,
Dappled with leaves and colored stones.
Those unremitting ribbons of geology
Those booming echoes drip by drip
Sneaking down the cranial walls
Etching with acid despair.
I crawl into the water, weighted by the world
Slipping into the muddy bottom
Staring down the midnight eels.
Vitality drawn thin as a crack.
Do not inhale, don’t do it!
Do not drown in watery inches!
Wait for one more morning sun
Shafting through the silting creek beds,
Dappled with leaves and colored stones.
