Poetry in real life (read until the end)

You beat the hungry rousing beast

Who struts and tears those who breathe

With your sigh, rapid, steady, alive

As I retreat from others, a quiet loner

Hunted by the spoils of ghosts, arisen

Tugged to my defective kingdom

Of doom, gone, used, untouched.

But you have startled my demons

And approaching my septic stain

You stir my senses like a melody.

A fragrance in your wispy hair

Evaporates into a thousand mornings

Sprinting away from wintry doors

Taking me with you, into yellow

Limitless like bliss in a far horizon

I kept you like a fruit in a basket

But now you are getting old

And your breasts are sagging

And there is just no sexual appetite

Because even I am old, fuck my life

And the difference between an accident

And a fucking tragedy is that you falling

In a hole is an accident, and someone

Saving you is god damn tragedy

And I want you to leave me alone

I’m just so glad you are not called Hope

Because Hope is the last to die

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t want

You to go to hell, because, shit

I would feel pretty bad for the Devil himself

And now you are so fat that the difference

Between you and an elephant is like maybe

Ten pounds, yeah, pretty sure.

Or like when we went whale watching

And those freaking things started singing

“We are family!

So I’m depressed

I’m done writing

See you later

Shit
