Replying to a comment on:
let me know (Free verse) by skaskowski
let me loose,
and i'll dive through the scum
to retrive all the keys i've swallowed;
stopping the drain up
as the pissy water rushes through.
this night brings delight in a crude sort
of manner.
my hands will reach for all the demons i've scattered.
(the things i knew would bury me somehow, some day).
all of those rooms have since settled to cobwebs
and dust by the dull gray inches.
but all of these clouds have been looming, and now
the rain must pour forth.
let me loose,
my handcuffs are rusty.
my wrists are all brown and smell kind of musty.
i must have forgotten to delouse
before you housed me.
because my head is all itchy and i'm getting bitchy,
all of a sudden i woke up
to this grating desire to set all the fireworks
ablaze.
this house is a maze of forgotten rooms,
and i have slept here in the movie hall, pruned
like a tree to believe
that i could grow through the roof.
but the sunlight has broken through pipe-cracks
and wood slats
and i am aware again.
so give me comfort or
give me death.
