Ah, Panacea…

With this pull
crawling on all fours
a killing ease of breath
with this swallow
comes a lush
spawning a dancing line
bitter burnt out
cool regret.

With this…
as slender spirals
rush the room
careful of the outer air
exhale gently
as appetites loiter
a mouthful
Panacea.

Vacation

i’m not packed yet. i never will be. because i decided to start drunk and wonder what i’d look like wondering how i’d look like inswimming trunks i bought a year ago.
