Washed Ashore

I die over and over—
between pages—a ghost 
in a world more real than my
own—drowning in ink—
willingly washed ashore—
swelling, bloating breath.

Against my nature of concealment,
I cough out the ink—everywhere—
chaos, carnality, collapse!
onto a canvas I cannot
cower from. 

Who else perceives meaning there? 
Who else feels the frenzy like fire?
