Localized warnings

When they break in and through

piercing into the insides of you

insistent voices that break a chatter

shadows recede into their own black matter

 

entertaining Satan in psychedelic colors

ultramarine blue alternates with yellow dirty squalor

pacing breaths blurring moments together

eyeball to eyeball, on a tight tether

 

hours rip through asphalt walls

speech clusters into a slow drawl

pounding dreams to a maze of doubt

pills and potions lay scattered around

 

festering inside a cranium shell

a splitting of the face I can fortell

piercing stars give way to a dark moon

clustering synapses pierce like a harpoon

 

writing Day 25 in the despairing dark

may just be a failure before it even starts

warning is to be prepared for a hearst

a migraine will devour any poetic bursts
