My insides are out,
my teeth were chipped
these intestines are empty and they’re devouring me
I’m enveloped by tangled veins overdosed on caffeine,
Strangling. Suffocating.
I desire to smoke now,
for I crave its toxic softness to free my lungs from the cage
I desire the solemnity of the sky
How long have I been waiting to lay there,
for my flesh to fill the gaps in the stars
for my soul to seal the craters of the moon?
I desire that chunk of
somber cloud—
that coffin hovering in the sky
for I crave a rest now

Dark indeed
Let those lungs break free from their cage
Not with the kiss of a cigar, but the caress of a page
Those intestines may devour
For they have no place to cower
Caffeine is but a substitute
Let not it make you its destitute
Tame thy hunger
Chain your rage
You’ll turn into a mortal sage
Embrace your inner stranger
