cycles (flip the coin)
February 24th, 2012 § 2 Comments
Under shades of black
Mirrors of smoke and ash
Cracked concrete littered with
Blasting caps
Fire mind, endless hole
Street stench filling the void
Great warriors of lore
Dotting sidewalks
Bottles of cheap whiskey in hand
Brown paper bags
Filled with inspiration
Cars streak by
Disrupting sleep
Erupting dreams
Nowhere to run, to hide
Only a place to die
Scrape the sky
With furious steel
Endless high
Wait a minute coming down
Oh no Oh no
Earth to you earth to me
Re-entering reality
No not again have to sleep
Sleep or die or regain the high
Better living through
Chemical stimulation
Coming around full circle
Ending up in the same place
Just
One step closer to the fire
Keep walking
The other side of the coin
Under eyes of white
Mirrors lined with powder
Cracked pipes
Over controlled fires
Stench filling homes
Great poets
On old couches
Stained with every drug imaginable
Clear plastic bags
Stagger the imagination
People walk by
A restless creep
Bursting at the seems
Nowhere to run or hide
Only a place to die
Hit the floor
Like a sack of potatoes
Endless low
Never able to go up again
Losing sight
No sense of anything
Better living through
Self mutilation
Scars of the train coming through
It goes in a circle
Ends up in the same station
Just one step closer
One step closer to the fire
You could entitle this one “Ode to Bankers”. LOL
This is so intense.
