Uncorked and riled I rave into exhaustion Depleting all words And forgoing the luxury of breath On and on Is the maddening drag The uprooting of silence The flooding of solitude Rattled thoughts Leave coherence bloodied Mangled, ragged And swallowed by disarray Until mountainous veins Rise proudly from my skin A showcasing of contempt The…

This transient age Slips through my nimble fingers Pooling onto the concrete And streaming For the nearest drain It all rains from me Fervently pouring In torrential buckets I’ll never regain Time gushes From my droning thoughts The ceaseless blare Of eras departed I am hopelessly woven Into the flair of jazz halls Speakeasy reveries…

Remedy Sways from my quivering lips The nightmarish tremor That rages beneath my skin To the high dosage That drained away reveries Carted off my hopes The urges that fueled my stride When I feigned control As I coasted day to day Better off not knowing Hollow and far from certain Risperidone slays And slashes…
