Meridian

Steady This Ladder Like you Steadied Your Pace. Hold it tightly In your Troubled Manner. Slow it down. But keep it moving. Moving Towards The Walls. Up to the Place Where Discrete Men Shame When you Called My name Without a Sound. Where a blank Expression Carries Craving Like a parasite Strapped To the back of a Poison. Where you know you'll ascend. When your Steps Break from The Concrete In a double Stepping Speed, Much like the Tonic of a Servicing Seed. Don't intoxicate me. Slip your hands Up The Entertainers Exotic Bars And Come Rising and Climbing Up To The Hole in the wall.
