Blue Lips
My breath
in the cool
morning
is visible
and
escapes
into
the still
dark
of the
early
morning
This prayer
still resonates in my mind
playing
back like
a broken record
screaming
but no sound
escapes
phonographic
suicide
stuck
in this place of wishful thinking
and
stuck to this tragic fate
my sighs
drip down
off window panes
with
which plop
on
dead grass
thats peeking
out its tufted head
that is
covered in white
snow
which
together with the morning dew
with
my sighs
in one sip
will
lead
to
drinking
as my thirst for
life
my one addiction
is what
im
continually
looking for
and
my toes
begin to tingle
as i lose feeling
to the
lower extremities of my body
My shoulders
tense with
a dull ache
numb
then
a fire
creeping
through
my veins
pours warmth
over
my blue lips
and
i am
so
cold
that
I wonder
will fire
ever stop this shaking?
