Saving God
Don’t let me lose myself again
The violence feasts, as it tears in
A feeling worse than horror
Swallows
But tries, there is nothing there
Hollow
The itch follows
Without catalyst
Thoughts underneath paranoia
Gobble
And gobble
The magma rises beneath
As my bearings wobble
A realization of death
Without the threat
If I could trust myself
Let go of the net
Now God descends into the pit
I reach, my arms no longer exist
Dispatch to find an alternate
Begins, without any lead
After 48 hours pass
The fruit mutates
No longer yields its seed
But the monster has to eat
I dangle, I lose my feet
Squirm as I listen close
My eyes have tremors
And my nose is stuffed with smoke
Wind barrels from the West
Inhaled, lungs only can choke
And choke
Heart, alone to fight
Or die under the weight of note
Could I keep God from the fire
By cradle of mind, by tote?
The monster nibbles its teeth
Sinking my only boat
Just one last hold
To freeze all that lies below
