Raw Citrus Peels

By lupus tenebrae

 



Something smells of raw deals
or flesh rotten citrus,
and somehow, I can’t tell the difference.

The liquid hypodermics,
dissolving through my pores,
the rush, from which, is carrying me home.

Speech impediments are fun
when talking to no one,
pretending to be ham radio feed.

Slogging through the country road,
through where I once belonged,
back to the ruins, a slight alien.

    Wolfie, sounds like you used to be a picker maybe, working the groves with the migrant laborers? Sometimes we can't go home, cheers!

    in the beginning you omitted an 's' in citrus. Just thought you should know. Very well penned otherwise.

    It must have been cut off in the editing, my rough draft has an "s", thank you though. Scholar
