Labyrinth

Down the rabbithole of self. Pride's snickering-cajole waits in the wings, unmoved, unperturbed by my prior resistant strains. My fingerprint residue a ghost in the remains. In hallucinogen haunting of k-hole, flaunting a devouring maw. How it's juices stain. In lust's wormhole ride-inside a black hole. I find- Turned out like a mirror inside. In a maze of my brain in a Labyrinth again. Her. Idolatry. Tempting me to come deeper. Into her- Inseminatry. To burn in the fire. Rolling in forbidden desire. In debted emnity, I remain Prodigal, chasing the dragon's offspring and swallowing my own tail. In a vicious circle. Like a cursed marriage ring.
