Junky Dreaming (Free verse) by J.B. Manning
His kiss tastes like
Turpentine and syrup
His breath like
Death
Or rotting flesh
But something made
It all seem sweet
Like sour milk
Or vomit that you
Swallow back
The only thing Better
is
A knife and
Wrist
Or maybe a fix
Glass shards as fine
As the tender Lines of flesh
It chooses to embed
The fragments of
My very own reality
Shatters in my skull
My noes bleeds
And a baby cries
Somewhere in the distance
Of a dreamy state of mind
Or dreary state of being
Is all the same
To me
This wretched thing
That we call love
Or wished we could
If we really were
owners of our own
Destiny
