Morning Glory

Morning Glory

Morning Glory poison
Bloodbath in purple brilliance
Tired of sinister mistaking
Waits
Passive in granting death
Its ghost came up the side of the house
Slowly
A stunningly beautiful creeper
Externally climbing
Acting on your insides.

Medication Shuffle

Medication Shuffle

The medication shuffle is a drag
You spend your time shivering
From one pocket of well-being
To the short-lived next one
You eat too much sometimes
Then want to eat nothing at others
You make up names for these intervals
You are a shell of the person they used to know
Into which and
Out of which
The sea of moods flows.
You are written off because you are crazy anyway
Because you will never prove that it's not just in your head.

Dance on the grave honoring your abandoned friends;
Do the medication shuffle.

Yield

Yield

Sign says "Yield."
I say
"No. Not this time."
(Well, maybe a little.)
