My mind, a hole/ a canvas appears /sketches unfold/
Illustrated poetry /connected/ with /messages in code/
/Sentence’s that told/ the ins and out’s of the /x’s and o’s/
Two sides/ one mind/ self war/ one’s obsessive control/
Questions/ answers/ mute eyes/ blinded /yes’s and no’s/
Velvet dirt/ pelvic earth/ hell pit curse/ asbestos and mold/
Door of opportunity is there/ but the /entrance is closed/
/Restless and old/ infectious and cold/ like /trenches of snow/
/Waiting to die/ shading the sky/ food to /pheasants and crows/
Appetite/ have a bite/ it’s alright/ my /intestines and toes/
The essence arose/ shined/ necklace /of gold imitation/
/One soul’s innovation/ give or taking /untold limitations/
Pain demands first/ courage comes second/ vice president/
Fight until the end of it/ and see/ inside of me /life’s eminent/
Frozen/ but open like /a blown nose/ in the /unknown cold/
The /unknown /come home/ so I can chisel /the stone rose/
