Stiletto Deep

listen to ‘Stiletto Deep’ on Audioboo

I seem to be stiletto deep

Can’t focus, looking through

A sleep that won’t commit

Fully to functions outside

It’s fevered dormancy

Fountains frustrate the truth

Sickling out the weakest,

Pillaging through a haze

That won’t forget, that

Forgiveness must be learned,

A condition often a condition

Of itself

I seem to be stiletto deep

Can’t observe, won’t stay

Still, through a veil of damask

Lines, purporting a truism

One can never find, lost, completely lost,

Wholly, completely wholly.

And I wonder what’s the best I’m able to

And I wonder what that would cost

Morning After

The rolling riffs accost the sky

As stripes of white begin their cry

Corroding with it’s penetrating sensation

Preventing the hallucination

That you were never meant to find

Camaraderie may have lost its way

Shot glasses

Now determine the success of night

Upside down

And drained of light

Regretting the feeling

As you awake in bed

Memories assaulting lanes

While rhythm insults in waves

Pictures clear from its haze

Yet deep spots remain in fade
