trench work

seldom spent
are my hours of moral chastity
under the waves
of an aquarium
Lungs full of saltwater
is more my style
I find it hard to neglect
the growing list of defects
that I cultivate with such righteousness
I find it hard to find fault
in the things that brought them about
things I adore
with a venomous life-force

my body and mind
are not as strong
as the desire I have
to destroy them

OK, so maybe it's time to get outta the trenches? LOL, you always take masochism to new heights.
Enjoyed the aquarium swim.

dig a little deeper and i bet you'll find the strength...it usually hides well. I enjoyed this write, sort of reminds me of me
