Mindless Focal Jolt in Book Title.

Uhm.

I need to write with an urgency exceeding the speed of light cause my head space is a million miles from here in the dark cupboards of a memory of a kitchen I once despised. My head is in a space that no longer exists. Burnt to a crisp. Rubble, ash, indistinguishable from the rest of the remnants. That’s good, too. I hated that house entirely and I especially hated the kitchen. My thoughts creep back on bruised knees. Memory crawls up my spine like an electric whine like the drill weeping. I do not weep.

I drift
Confident, easy
Neither time
Nor trouble
Worry the ship
Captain me
Drunk on a sea
That cradles
Whet
At her bosom
I rise
To her sigh

O death
A hungry bed
She tosses some
To sleep

O death
Ugly silhouette
Like a shadow
To the sky

Do not make fool
O bloody pool
You’ve eaten up
Some souls
But let me rest
Awhile yet
My vessel as
Your children do
Flesh to flesh
Listening to
The ripple of
Your pulse
