Persistent afternoon pressure
Tears gathering and clinging
Consistent knotted thoughts
Trapped squeezing days until
Liquid relief sweetly bursts
Salty drops of unpunish me.

Tag: days
Fear and loathing
A fat drying lizard
Rotting meat on a stone
Knotting my stomach every day
I want to walk this way
Past this brutal sight
Not to change it nor to fix it
I will never give it weight
And I will banish all superstition
That does not belong to me
Until days turn it into dust
