Poem

she had lost the plot long before in an insane labyrinth of her mind

trapped in the rat race of high speed and the volume on full blast

incarcerated shackled and straight jacketed thumb screws and all

contorting denial delusion and psychedelic support to no valid avail

and the wall of her self-imposed prison was barbed with wire of pain


the maze of synaptic connections discharged commands of unreason

torturous wheels of cognition failed to balance fierce contradictions

twisting and hurting she succumbed to a myriad of fake solutions

turning the tourniquet tight to receive the message of brown sugar

winding serpentine paths misconstrued from temptation and promise


and still the garden remained a wasteland of intemperate indignation

she had fallen off the wagon so many times that the engine had stalled

sinews lay bare under a sinuous array of purulent scars and punctures

a tattered puzzle of perplexed bewilderment awaiting the ultimate shot

the heroine submerged in near namesake poison in face of the needle


as the epitaph neared completion and the funeral cortege proceeded

she prayed and surrendered to a white knuckling ride of withdrawal

dragons danced with cold turkeys on her tomb stone but they refused

to relinquish hope for affronted vultures puked at sight of her ghost and

she recalls near death experiences and abstinence as a miraculous gift
