Chewing Tar



I want it

Knowing I don't

Still want it

Knowing it chokes

An intrusive bubble inside my oesophagus

Cloying neural dilemmas

Initiating the emptiest of tremors

Inside my distant centre

And I


I romanticise the feeling

The aches that taste quite nice

The aches that temper sticky vitals

The aches that melt like crystalline honey

Infusing my psionic membrane

Reminiscent of healing

Yet slowly begin congealing 

Eventually revealing


Simmers of wounding

Disguised as desire

My own dirty little habit

I keep refusing to shake evade or retire

Because something so nauseating

and ugly

Makes me feel at home in my body

Whilst it sets itself on fire


Self inflicting sour splinters

enticing enough to bind back into past sprains 

Times bred by bland breadcrumbs

so hungry I stayed


Fed on ephemeral banquets,

Yet hooked in by my own trap Spiralling inside an illusive circuit

Entangled within every layer

Within every lap


Absences become palpable enough to deafen my dialogue

A flesh rotting soul crushinv hell

And so I succumb to playing with my own train of thought

A temporary ploy

Somebody’s favourite toy

In a world parallel


But I have tried, tirelessly

To wash out that stain burrowed deep in me

The one that tugs on my craving to conquer

and softens my comfort in grief


All the while my blue skin pines for another delicious bite

As she chews her favourite flavoured tar

Waiting for sweet surrender

Waiting for exhale

From insatiable appetite
