Seized
New onset seizure,
Syncopal episode – hmmmm
Psychogenic origins?
Regardless of that
I paid the price in full,
Although I’m grateful
That bitten tongue
And broken bone
Were not on sale today
Pain has painted my
Body black
And stuffed my nerves
With tar
I feel too thick in it
To move
Maybe tonight I’ll
Swim in dreams
Of darkest India inks
