Walking through life, I'm falling hard and fast.
Yet I still stand on the firmaments of my own devices.
Hitting the cold pavement, my being inflamed.
The cries. "Forget us, send us to our demises."
Yet I still stand without a worthy scratch, or the markings of an undesirable.
My heart is presently weak as it pumps its blood of my passion.
Though I still stand, I'm fading into the incurable,
and my lips reach for words at my throat, forever raking.
Taking necrotic breaths, I heave endlessly in limbo for the end.
I manage and muster until my final acuity is uttered meticulously.
"Live for...." Like water through a marsh, I fall through the ethereal purgatory.
Floating there in the emptiness of my final layover, a flash of light cutting through me.
'Time to go home?” But nothing happens until the end.
Ancient, holy, free, sacred, shamballa, heaven, nirvana? Valhalla is a cruel hyperbole.
Fading away, I can't fall hard and fast. I never had the luxury.
What celestial sphere? Where? Nothing. Nowhere. Never.
No cries nor demise had ever happened, evil was never wrong.
A heart never held passion, impossibility was a choice.
Word was not of thought. Thought was not of reality.
Open your eyes and wake up. This nightmare was never your dream.
Staring at the acoustic, "Live for...?"

I Am a Prisoner who Dreams of Prisons
The dream always starts the same: I feel the cold bite of wind gnawing through clothes entirely inadequate to protect from the weather and I realize I am standing in line. Ahead of me and behind me are other inmates, identified by the burgundy scrubs we were issued upon arrival. I don't know where we're going.
