Blur

Brazen bell alarum voice
ringing red-rimmed realization,
recall of the dead weight pull
with a will power thrust-
chagrined disgust
tainting already tentative tendrils.
Flaccid image paint
of sour alcohol rage;
frustration flaunted,
muscles taunted -
the role to be played
an ill-favored omen
when aroused expectations
parade naked
in drunken, pathetic force.
Indifferent observation
masks the imminent checkmate.

Chalk breath words
and surface thoughts,
facade promises
cascading down
in the soporific haze
of bitten lip resentment.
Bury me deep
or invite me in-
the rusted barb wire slices my flesh
and my blood-stained patience
wilts in the wind.

Isolation in the time dilation
the Star once dignified
mirrored jade,
Slashing silk web connections
in an eye blink moment.
Salty sweet scarlet trails
brimming on the third eye,
leaving ice-fire wounds
streaming down the churning mass-
a first class psychotrauma.
The attention-starved power base
grating, shrieking -
anthropomorphic schizophrenia
in the line of succession
with assassins waiting
in the velvet wings.

REM starved subconscious
drowning full of dark angel dreams,
photonegative desire
for corn silk locks and ice shard eyes.
Demon lover adrenaline flow
stopped cold by distraction,
flying spark of hallucination fire
fading beneath the flourescent glow.
Rip me apart
on a bed of chill satin
before the red king wakes
and the card house crumbles again.
