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.
