Dreamless Alphabets

DREAMLESS ALPHABETS Aphelion my long time residence Banished into a dreamless existence Cannibals surround the escape routes Diligently feeding my doubts Eagerly anticipating my demise Ferociously preparing for my conclusion Gathering hippocampus, for seasoning Hors d’oeuvres, bloody temporal lobes Impulsive, angry, throwing away all reasoning Jaded, crawling towards the scavengers Knees embedded with gravel Lesions seeping into my rib cage Maggots, waiting at the next stage Nightmares finally come true Ominous my exile has been Paralyzing everything, except fright Quickly, carnivores begin to dance in delight Rehearsing for the end of my rancid reality Screaming, submitting myself as a sacrifice Talons swoop down, and transport me Uric acid pouring down, singeing my curls Valedictions will just delay my final eviction Wearily, watching, awaiting my crucifixion Xenon, pestilent odors rise from my body Yelping orange, yellow flames, the last seen Zooming out of this world, to be forever free
