Self Infliction

The frontier of violence
strange land of our making
Wilderness of bones and blood
—buried in our fear

(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)


Rage

I'm spit in your eye 
a boot in your mouth
rage in the hour of its finest
i drag my chains 
a self infliction
I'm a thorn in the side of a god
an irritent that won't be shaken

Self-Infliction

Explosion, implosion,
tomorrow is gone

A new self-destruct mode,
old enemies throng 

We’re now on the poster,
PUBLIC ENEMY ONE

The canaries all dead
—with zero the sum

(The New Room: March, 2021)

A Absolute wreckage

L Lights gone out in blackout consumption

C Carnage of gigantic proportions

O Oblivion through self infliction

H Hostage to addiction

O Obstructionist behaviour

L Liberation is possible

Is my humanity personal or collective?

A drop of water has no direction,
Until its introduction to a stream.
A streams movement will bend and change through its self infliction. 
While, 
A stream is unable to conform stray water:
It is shaped by such.

A car may control its own movement,
However, is constrained to the roads of its creation.

Tracking Down

White lotus at red feet:
we will start self-infliction
explicating
with regrets.

After a rough night
the day was weeping.
From where the bread will
come, when you were playing
with a golden spoon.

This morning I again
dig a hole in heart.
Was the Mayan calender right ?
Why the sun is playing slow music ?

I am coming nearer
to a locked god.

Non Poems

Self-Infliction 1

To show
not tell
the essence
of verse

Narrative
wording
the image
reversed

A rainbow 
unseen
is folly
described

Each moment
explained
a feeling
— contrived

Self-Infliction 2

Poetry done right
 “is not a hobby”
Filling the hours
with time undone

Poetry from the heart
 “is not descriptive”
Where words die orphaned
— and words die young

A Means To An End

A Means To An End Innocense lost to a lifetime of cost And a childhood mistake Don't lose your health finding yourself Or deny the journey that you take The truth didn't die, and neither did i Though i tried to set us free Held by the mesh in my cage of soft flesh It cuts me more than me Hoped time would heal scars too real But the wounds bled again Self-infliction is a sin But it's all i can feel Must suffer my buffer A means to an end
