TUNNELEND

Cough like I’ve been mustard gassed due to all the fags

Tab ash in the Bulmers ashtray so tall it needs branches

Redwood tall my stack, appallingly strong snacks

Deadwood I’m a denizen thereof, born baddy

Boys riding out, they’re on some Tennyson shit

Tense all the time, fearing terrorism on trains

What a way to go to heaven’s gate

A tight tunnel lightless, life fading

Crying thinking of all the high grade payloads I’ll never ingest

Peyote stops me being so odious

Over it like an ex or barrier

My barrier eats your hexes

Salt circle girdling my legs

On your knees, and then you’ll beg

Three gryphons, none of them Meg

Alchemical inscriptions, none of them make

Sense but I know there’s something there worth knowing

Documenting my own decline, with crown weight my head inclines

My chin against the collar of tight white t shirt red-flecked like my eyes

Recline feeling less than fine, my preclusions occlude my movements

A conveyor belt of illusions

Can’t fit this belt anymore.
