the universe knows
that trust comes s l o w
breathing into my lungs,
humid air & translucent smoke.
tires on the pavement
in the middle of the night
slipping in&out of the streetlights,
dodging these feelings of fright.
questions linger on my lips,
cold and hard as steel,
frantically seeking a telos
or merely a sliver of something real.
i didn't want to be alone
inside my swollen head.
i didn't want to drift away
in shades of crimson red.
but desire can be a poison
forever pulsing through our veins;
a life blood and a downfall,
an ironic exchange.
i'm burning through this gasoline
i'm running in the night
i'm forcing my escape too early
i'm much too tired to fight
the drive down woodmont boulevard
keeps swimming through my thoughts..
& as i sort through this debris i realize
this battle has been lost.
