Death of a Psychonaut
".... could not stop for death- he kindly topped for me-
the carriage held just ourselves and immortality."
Quote by _ Emily Dickinson
all her life she followed the rabbit
it was no picnic, much darkness was unfurled
and landed ships of horror on home shores
the more psychedelics she did, the more
she feared the other side in DMT she saw
reptilians with horrible eyes, monsters
with no faces, bottomless pits, dimensions
with no air she felt like she’d glimpsed
hell on acid and feared it as she reached
old age. as death was washing away her
mind like waves, she was held to earth by
jolts of fear, what nightmares could await
her after her soul was severed? she knew
there was no limit to the universe’s
imagination but when death carried her
to the other side she looked around and
saw that she was sober, and so was heaven.
