Water, water for these bones
for tongues erupt in sizzling
hot torment pon fragile skin
allergens of conflict surround me
tis the season, I know
tis the season, but I am not jolly

wearisome relationships, all
burdenous, most.
From outside, daggers come in
From inside, they hate my health, all
'join us in this condemning, yea
this loathing!'

again, I'm aware "that there,
my own reflection stares"

So I wish for deaf

drown out hungry eyes,
eyes despise, demanding cries
loaded sighs endless list whys
packed neatly in denies

I try

but often fail with "hail yeah"
hand jive raised toward sky
in soul splitting high five
at the stumbling of me, crumbling
of me, foot on the neck of grumbling
me for I deserve, you see...

water, water for these bones
these dry and weary bones

Tier?

This totally blew me away, the entire thing but especially starting here and all the way to the end . . .

mouth hanging wide open here . . .

So I wish for deaf

drown out hungry eyes,
eyes despise, demanding cries
loaded sighs endless list whys
packed neatly in denies

I try
