the eye within

The weekend loomed. 

I looked inward and saw 
a tired spirit
It ran on expired nitro
A sort of Death 
beckoned to me
singing of hope, sleep 
and solitude

This was not to be

My id and ego longed for silence 
and yet the clamour here  
shifted it's g-force
expanded exploded
colours, shapes, smells, feelings,
thoughts, sounds 
a light flash of words
a spiralling miasma 
of th'narcissistically 
love-negging tones 
of unconsciously handsome 
but toxic also-rans
in their graviton pants 
their newtonian life force 
defeated by the pedestrian power
of my humble lil thumb
on the mute & archive button
the only kill-switch 
that makes it right
their penumbra floating
beyond every line of sight

Step out and look into the sea 
a benediction of the blue waters

The pulse roared in crimson 
for an end to their drama
Blood demands blood. 
Do not gladiate 
in reactionary verbal violence 
to all the hatred. 
The submissive reinforcement 
is denied and rejected
A psychological solution
a pruning
a topping from below

Step out and be still
The sky Listens.
