• Rotting away in a private space 

  Use went from sparing to daily  Used get it mailed in  Rip open the pack and rail it the second it came in. Coke and horse, my arm invaded  The syringe impaling  Like the razorhoned beaks of the venom-leaking birds of Stymphalia Heart slowly failing, in the palliative cupboard below the clothes railing.

• Sweaty underneath the facehider

  Chasing snakes like neck-breaking Hercules 7 years before turning 8 Gods, demideities and half-human fates considered acquaintances This town I led Hamelin-like, from decency to depression Selling fiends their leisure, accruing so much treasure I feel so much better No acquiescing, fudge the numbers the ledgers are messy allegedly Constant CCTV by determined DCs, trying…
