Teach Me How To Sleep

A year, a half, a haunted hunted beast
pursued by spectres of most stupid affection
With folded hands we dived into the miry pit
Abduction, addiction, you stole me to the skies
And 'though you never loosened hold
I fell through voided nights back and forth
Behind a bridal veil of guilt
The stars of elder choices evanesce
And I bow....
Afraid of emptiness...
I sink
into
your void
One last wish
I can spare now -
TEACH ME HOW TO SLEEP
The claws of stagnancy cramp tightly
and even more, the further you refrain
In restlessness between the sheets
A famine that cannot be escaped alone - -
Down, down, further down the hostile cavern
That, with immemorial security,
seemed to sweep away the fear of nights
and life, and love, and love for love itself
„The drug with a body“, a shape of perfection,
the frayed ends of neurons set ablaze
A painful skin overstretched on whetted bones
Scissures appear in clandestine suffering.
And I bow
before your grace.
Endow me a dream.
The ache of wishes
subordinates the drive of want
when in coldest isolation;
stitch upon stitch,
the ritual of cyclic deconstruction
is fulfilled; a feast for the mind's I.
Until the tumor
of utmost vanity
spread through each limb, poisoned all cells
And I, dispersed
in ghastly vapour
my hunger not allayed
In constant fear of struggling through
eternally recurrent monologues
Replacement of the vicious unembodied! -
TEACH ME HOW TO SLEEP
And the worst part of it all
was to survive this winter without you.
Starved I fall.

You unsettled me.
Neither here. nor there.
My instincts return
Just suppression of evidence,
anxiety,
no call nor ear
for slithering words
without permission for esteem.
Forget my flinty heart!..
the tender and still unformed one.
To understand that anything left - remaining silhouettes.
Heaps of temptation. More repressions.
Everything had to fit the frame of perfection.
I took the wrong gateway beyond reality.
The Impact of opening the fallacious doors leads to a missing perception.
Just a formless confusion
which collapses in finding the only direction.
This circumstance describes the hole
which bears no privilege
to be even under surfaces.
How is it achievable to put the blame on the flag
That grows out of the own yield slum.
- The unformed mass is pressed into debt -
But it was even unborn when this transgression was imposed.
So disruptively.
.
I need you to need me.

Body

Limbs on disinfected iron
movement left and life alike.
It senses no pain, attests to no impulse
as it's flesh gets defiled in slow motion
The scalpel scornfully smiles
when by cold hands it is ordered
to draw vermillion lines
on a canvas of pure white.
Albeit amidst the bright white ground
bruises dead they glance and shimmer
And add some further tint
to death's very own portrait.
And yet though first stitches were made
it seems grotesque; this quiescent
vessel of ghastly beauty, and
the likeness of the 'architect' itself.
For it is of such disgust
how we are designed
Atom by atom, function upon device.
Aesthetics, when useless, cut open.
Relinquished of consciousness
deprived of perception
the arteries severed
the livers dissolved.
Ribs spread and skin torn like paper
uncovering the heart of the machine
And when sewn together again
and the final brush marks are set
Body's facing the cremating fires.
And when the final sleep overwhelms
Cells decompose to flour and calcerous ash
Out of it's pieces forms life anew
Futile likewise earth thereat
A body anyhow
That will deconstruct itself
soon.
