Remain
January 13, 2012 § 3 Comments
Tired of being alone
In a back break world
Of people suffering more
What a watered wandering around
Salted earth worm death
What an old time feeling
Familiar kiss of concentrated sing-song prose
The pink pill dries your tears
The orange pill slows your fears
The white pill will kill you dead,
Thanks a lot broken head
For such a bashful clash
Don’t reach out
When shouts
Craving to be the chased
Do without doubt
And death distilled down
To laced jar with a
Permanent stained refrain
Remain, don’t dry up
Don’t slope down
Or slide under
Don’t regret or tear asunder
Don’t compete
Remain
Remain!
Fantastic, full of vitriol (in a good way, of course). I love the lines: “Salted earth worm death”, and “Familiar kiss of concentrated sing-song prose”, and the different colored pills is great. The glimmer of hope at the end is nice too!
This is beautiful, Evelyn. I must say it is one of my favorites!
