animal odour apparel
dont come in here
i havent bothered to bathe
or comb this long tangled pile of hair
and maybe even shave
been pushing the hours
sweeping dreams across
the floor
counting moonbeams
and singing lost laments
under my breath
my anger is scalding
yet i hold it inside
take it like this
learn how to not
release it
learn how to not fold
in half and become
something clear
something ugly
and seperate from this
existance
spools of history
slowly unwinding
piling up in the corners
while i sit and moult
dragging my tired legs
no flight wings yet
grounded as always
my eyes hot as i search
everywhere
and everything
i take in a slow heavy
breath
i should listen to some
music
relax
meditate
become aware of my
own overpowering
prescence
turning back into the
animal laying
livid in the cage
the door an illusion
the magic man
the flim flam
emotions fire
that rages and
idles to a sooty
flutter
i breathe out
and play passive
i promise to shower
to use shampoo
and shave
replace what is me
stripped down
with the layers
antipersperant
cologne
Dippity Do to hold this
now mane thats
evolving
ill eat this gutted bastard
of my ego
Neitche can go to hell
(but oh how I Love him)
the caress of his words
