Living In Their Drain
The day has cooled,
into a recliner
muddied.
Rinse it off...replenish...repeat
mud sloughs off into somebody else's drain.
That's ok because I'm clean again.
Recycling this mud of the mind
into porcelain, attic spiders
entwined.
Scrap and scrimp.
Grow fat again
swing the battle axe of id
growing thin.
Toss red flowers on mother's grave...
what color was her eyes?
I've forgotten the color of the sky
The same color as a messy demise?
it doesn't matter-anyway.
Move along stagnant doesn't fit my cup.
Movement is life-stillness is death.
but there are exceptions...I've seen zombies...stumbling along.
I've seen still (ponds) explode into stars
(confused)
bloodied...rinse...repeat...
living in their drain.
