Monster Medicine
plasma barrier
force field
pressed against
yielding bubble
slipping through
where have I been
precious energy
spent with
no return
foolishly
so many verses
wasted
treasure hunting
down helpless
vapid creatures
left inviolate
monster medicine
not
cold heart beating
icy breath swelling
preening scales
ticking claws
filing sharp
words
swishing long
slithery tail
pheromones
of worthy prey
lurking invisibly
close
deep rattling sigh
reptilian razor
head
slashes fro
coordinates locked
Kodachrome melting
vision dissolving
not his
homeless heart
matriculating
from detachment
to isolation
deep dark hole
retreat and sleep
forget the day
expand horizons
smash boundaries
find fuel for fury's
freedom
roam green pastures
trample evil woods
ramble fields of desire
turn the ocean over
scrape its depths
no limits to this
madness
no bottom
to this storm
train ran away
knifing the night
sparking the rails
bearing down
the moon
bust out
this cocoon
shoot the stars
drink the black
spit and
slam these gears
slice
grid squares
into spinning
sucking
vortex
yeah
and she was
always there
you just
stopped seeing her
see her now
and see you've
finally found your
monster medicine
