Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

the Coming

I'm intoxicated by asininity,
Feeling sick.

I spin.
I dance.

The chunks rise up my gullet.
I subvert it, carry on,
Nothing to see here.

I might as well be blind,
I'm as cadaverous as ever.
Fusty memories.
Grilling disaster in my head.

Making me moonstruck, I
Swear. F(uc)k.
This cannot end well.

Bilious, goading, tempting fate
And playing god.
It's no wonder.

I spin.
I dance.

Encroached in exhaustion,
I plea to be the Coming.

They exacerbate what I really am.
Here comes the vomit,
Spilling out my mouth
And onto my shirt.

A legate I negate.
I wheeze.
Cough. Sputter. And. Shake.

Endless is the rain
That will not fall.

I spin.
I dance.
I earth.
I quake.

Awaiting the blister of dawn
To scorch me back to versimility,
Which has become a manifold
Of brackish nightmares that
I witness when I'm awake.
