In what will be an occasional series, I’ll be taking some of the poetry I’m creating, editing and refining and posting it for a wider audience. I found this poem in an old writing journal, and reproduced it here, as I’m pretty certain it’s not been written down digitally.

Thank you for reading.


The Dark Heart of Euphoria

beat
beat
beat

everything balanced
fulcrum endgame
happiness angry
panic relaxing

welcome to the bungle / tongue-flap swear it well
inside meat colosseum / secrets heft retell
hold aloft my dark heart / hand-tap sodden wall
 euphoria their endgame / progress nah fuck all

relaxing panic
angry happiness
endgame fulcrum
balance everything

depression emblem
sacred object
terror’s story
carved sextant
bone fetish
familiar
articulate
lonely girl

escape
constantly
inescapable
euphoric terror
this is your life
