Delerium of Passion

Jesus, back on the trail
Arms flail, knees rebound
Stomach crunched
I've got a hunch to escape
Equipment lodged through my brain
The rotary club
Is not worth fighting
With feet shuffled on pavement

If only, if only
I could speak with meaning
Engage a dialogue
I may not be too prophetic

But continuously lost
Wanderlust, what to do
When only nature
Strives to be honest-
This delerium of man made pain
Driving me into gravesites

Take my bones and rip them out
Utilize all the gristle 
Anything is better
Than this hiccup city
Half-way binging on feeding tubes
And colorful plastic morgues
All items stocked on the shelf

A pleasure to read your poetry today Justin. I will try to come back later this week to read more. I have a spring cold and not up to reading for too long. Have a wonderful week. Love, Carol
