Detrimental Train Ride Poem
Drowning in distance
Homesick lips
Chapped and bewildered
Skin pale
Faded by friction
Squinty hands
Hold sunken eyes blinded
Voices echo
Under chewed fingernails
In throbbing vocal cords
ash ingested
leaves feet tapping
rhythms mindless in nature
corresponding
with denim treble
between legs withdrawing
sunrise water
fills my mind’s puzzles
deliberate and violently
melts into my sleep
so i can dream again
