Art Of Survival
His mind became a memorial wall,
Street art scrawled along receptors drawn.
Vandalized modest perspectives,
Needles bled him of perfection.
Misconceptions designed as mental tags.
Putting life’s pursuits into digital body bags.
Intentions became immutable track marks.
Wandering in rags he has to depart.
The world melted before his eyes,
Burnt blue moon hung loosely in the sky.
Self designed excuse for others to muse.
Poison tipped fingertips withdrew,
Unholy prescriptions kept hidden.
Ignored the writings history had given.
Carving through bluegrass debris,
Driven away from city’s concrete trees.
Drifting off to sleep for the first since last weeks end.
Mourning is a given, eyes can’t stop from leaking.
Daylit hallucinated strands comes into high tide,
Divided from his own dreams, a blank vision inside.
The insanity prevalent in all he was,
His schizoaffective clarity has come.
No one understands what he does.
Talking with God unlike anyone.
