dripping Xylazine / fentanyl / tranq,
open sore veins
moaning dirty dirges.

You smell it
five blocks before you enter.
The stench tests...

The Trap
Thinking back on my life; My regrets, my past.
I realize how early, I didn't have a chance
My legacy from the beginning... 'I am disgrace'
Mom with "the wood guy", determined my place
Nobody cared, the selfishness taught
Unnoticed...

Hands like chains,
Voices coated in liquor and cologne —
That same cologne still snakes through my chest,
Claws at my lungs every time I smell it.
They didn’t need chains —
They used hands,...
