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.
