Freak City

Couldn’t care less
Punk image before me
Not me external dissociating
With internal looseness
Detachment black orange turning black
An inch of pain concentrated
Behind each eyelid
Swimming on a bed of coarse salt
Déjà vu empty caller lists
Rock pounding hounding grounding
My brain to pieces
Angry once no longer
Unsure I just found a hole in
My security blanket
Get a tattoo maybe what I hear is true
Quit coming back every now and then
Straight long hair
Smooth convolutions undisguised
Freak city
Promises commitment
Light years away
Even unconditional love comes on its own terms
Rock grinding my mind
An urge can be so dangerous
Fatal if I let it
Fatal if I don’t
Black welts
First rays of black as the night rises
