The Collector

blood bound no longer, escaping cracked skull. vomitous exit. flee disembodied evaporation fall to concrete, shattering in waves. shining coloured orbs reflected image mini atom bombs. descending, rolling glass fragments explode blue, white, gold, pink, orange spiral through storm drains, liquefied, as rain. slow motion stumble, reach, for pieces. squinted eyes searching. sliced skin, sharp edges washed and dyed ink red. whowhatwhenwherewhy doesn’t matter, lost my marbles.

this is quite the gem youve created here with a very complete sense of imagery although im not sure whether this is more a take on death itself or more of a breaking away from concience and in turn " losing your marbles"either way i love it keep up the awesome poetry
