we were drowned; we drowned between cold sweaty sheets & time;

refuse to die

nights go by w. nicotine & black coffee & yr face in blood above my bed

& yr drug induced mists dancing fires around me

a synthetic new reality - fading in - the slow rape of an immaculate dawn

melting my cerebral cortex

static - white lights - white heat - white noise - stains on the walls;

staring @ the ceiling

falling; slowly falling; like snow on a summers day

like rain

like rain

like bullets w. no name butterflies roam the badlands of deserted city streets
