"Life can sure be a motherfucker." (Free verse) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
Was what I said when I walked away from it all.
When did it start?
When I got out of military prison at nineteen.
Of course I was no stranger to the rare and
intense calamity at that point in time,
nor am I blaming my poor choices for
the 360 degree trap I spout my
insanity from 365 days a year.
What does pain turn into?
What can it become inside of you?
I'm either fucking sober and so
aware that I cannot behave normally,
or I'm so loaded and aware
that I cannot act
appropriately.
Somehow I manage to pull it all off.
With style, and what
seems to some
kind of deteriorating
colourlessness.
black magick,
Astoroth showed
me his dragon.
I'm sure you can just
Imagine the fasting
and ablutions that
prepared me for
The stink of
his breath.
I secretly pray to
your cold shoulder.
But I will surrender nothing
but your teeth down your throat
and the splattering of your blood
and a shovel I will
buy tomorrow before
I start dreaming
again.
What did I dream about last
night? Love and invisibility
and a twin of my own that
remembered where I put my
real life. I just don't get
it. I want to but I can't.
Everyone thinks I do and
they pay me for it, but I
am realizing for the first
time in my life that I'm
going to die too, I'm going to
die and we will have never figured
out why we hated eachother so much
for no reason and love and love and god
and silence will all merge into that
feeling of butterflies in my
stomach again for the last
time, and I'll find you,
and you'll fucking love
me I swear you'll love
me you will cover me with
something that I will still
try to avoid when
the hands of our
ancestors reach into
my heart and I can finally
get to let go of this sigh
that has been stuck in my throat
and just let my eyes
break, love yes love
Is truer for me
having never even
tried.
Life can sure be a motherfucker.
This is proof alone that I can predict
the future. Hence quoting myself.
before, getting to saying anything
at all.
