tangled in black.ness

By denver nitze

'like a tornado in a trailer park'

my world has spun upside down
its twisting and turning
and churning my heart.
eat me up
spit me out
savor me
i taste devout
monogamy
about brain abortion
and black.ness
so black
it can't even be
called black
for to do so
would
shed too much
light
upon its
face
to give it any
grace.
i'm spinning
faster
losing
control
dizzy
sets
in
while
out
slips
the
soul
...

Cheers! *takes glasses off*

    not too much pain, more of an awakening, a realization an untangling of sorts.

    i guess its a bit ironic in a sense that you must be tangled first to untangle.
