This Day

 Twisted streams of consciousness

Pecking at me now

The low tapping begun a decade ago

Marks its permanence

With a pronouncement of this day. 

And what of the next, forgetful distracting 

Doing enough to sustain this blunt erosion

Routing frustrations into elsewhere, 

Wherever elsewhere may be. 

Cold walls emphasize their berated presence

They go nowhere, without instruction

And instruction has instructed them to stay, 

Despite the chilly fucked metaphors they bring. 

Whatever these means employ

However they do to see fit these needs

To bang with impunity the need to starve on

The end and processed result is

Putrid.

Bleak outlines, revisit themselves

To look into grayed lavender

That once stood tall in warmth

Accepting and openly deserving

The right to touch and be touched. 

Estranged am I, to who my body became

A dilapidated vessel of comfort, 

Unused, unkempt, and

Denied.
