listen...do you hear that? there's something |
|
coming. sounds just like a storm. no...wait. |
|
that's not right. too clean. too sterile. |
|
too much like instruments unwrapped |
|
for amputation. this here, this is more like |
|
rust scraping off iron spike. more like |
|
steam pipe. boiler room. furnace. more like |
|
"tear the fucking sky in half, pull god to earth by the throat." |
|
more like inferno. blast radius. engine grinding hard against |
|
stuck gear and the diesel is dripping near open flame. |
|
every drop of blood in your veins is screaming to be spilled. |
|
it's three a.m. and everything is closed except the parking lots. |
|
everything is washed in flame. or is it fog? every light in |
|
the sky is a town crier's torch. |
|
three a.m. and all is not well! |
|
I have been spitting out all of my teeth one by one, |
|
spitting to make mud, and Jesus Christ is |
|
screaming at me in my sleep, so |
|
I don't sleep much anymore. |
|
the voice on the radio speaks to me through crackle, |
|
he tells me about the black helicopters. |
|
clandestine operations, the secret drug trials |
|
experimenation under cover of night. |
|
coffee helps to keep me awake in the darkest moments |
|
but as of late its been swishing around my mouth |
|
like tin. like something warm and rotten. spit it |
|
back into my wallet where blood should be. |
|
give me new skin to crawl back to where it's dry... |
|
listen. do you hear that? something's coming. |
|
sounds juts like a storm. |
