A Long Shot

A LONG SHOT My doc ,lousy smile on lips White fumes emitting, my disease Panic syndrome , Curable, Time heals . Chillness creeping leeches Stripped delusions, fear flows Veins shrnk Life cling on hanger Paranoid schizophrenia .Fever smear blue dye Over brain Shuddered ,desperatly looking I could see her snoring facing the wall. My pal far away On rocky land ,knows nothing . Tracy, that spiritted negress sings 'Gimme your life I shall purify it with a can of petrol'. Tabs,shots ,scans Unconditional surrender- Knotted threads,mystic chants Copper plates with primitive scribes To see, hear , feel Before final fall Gas cylinder turned on Odour of death A flicker, turbulence- Charred floor caught In a long freeze shot............

Fear can be terrifying..both my son & I have panic attacks he told me once, it will subside Ma nothing can last at that intensity for ever..small comforts! Light & Love
