xanax poem
as the darkness seeped in,
i whispered to myself that it would all be okay.
the shark-skinned brothers danced around me
like a demented little freakshow.
i cried out for help
but no one would listen.
they screamed out my name
and i tried to scream back.
red cliffs burned like a sacrificial hearth.
blazing smokestacks and blackened pipelines.
i wake up to the steady drumbeats of my heart.
the woman in white stands at the doorway.
she asks if i’m ready to confess..
no.
of course i’m not.
but i do, so that the shark-skinned brothers don’t visit me again.
and i’m send to my grave
for those crimes
i never did.
"Imagine all motion sickness- Schuyler Peck, Coming Off Klonopin (via schuylerpeck)
of standing still.
Imagine a circuit breaker shorting
from the back of your brain;
the fork to the toaster,
the copper lining of your veins.
I threw up in the storm drain
at the street fair
and blamed it on bad nectarines;
shivered in the bend of your arms
like a loose wire.
Stevie Nicks has said this
was the pill that almost did her in;
the one that brought hell to her heels,
and I can feel the fire unwrap the framework
of my spine.
I have never lived through a sickness
that made me more afraid of my mind
by the havoc of my body."
