Fauna of Addiction
[A]dept
Halnya Andri:
pace around metal chairs, pale fire
the irony here, is I've found no home to inspire
caught in the melody, iron bends
no century humming through my voice
cold snap, bold choice: disfigure all options
comparison carry me through onstacles
but suddenly place them in my path
the interrogation chamber, you strangers
what does it read on beautiful faces
plywood walls, built by my own aches and phases
landscape changes, concrete mazes
how am I still breathing, believing in dichotomy
i am no one, at least respect my honesty
distracted souls, sole purpose destruction
dismantle the thoughts, that stoke discomfort
why can't i believe you?
my own reality deceitful, breathing creatures
caught in vogue, i turn my phone on airplane mode
in the malestrom of PKD's, I read ravenously
disclosed prose, at war with gravity
carve out my chest cavity, my biology
my baggage, to shattered ragged river tragedies
where is the calvary, when I say my name in empty chairs
who cares what the battle be?
there's an irish coffee waiting at the table
i never thought it'd ve able to rattle me
cattle branded, by your charity carry me
downwardly fixated, spare me aid to dysfunction
running in circles, embarassed by nothing
at least i can feel something
franco still won, harboring numbness
no pasaran i carry on, in shameful functions
the palm still ache, the flask still wet
pounding on the body, for common sense
im still hungry, gnawing at the surface
mumble my purpose
the circle broken, holding nothing
meeting in silence, the slack-jaw poet
can i survive with my empathy?
empty chairs, addiction assembly
lines never spoken, sacrifical moments
isolated in grief, imprisoned in rememberance
give me my severance
we pass by each other, night trains
caught in subliminal poetry, moon stains
dead centuries, weaving blankets
we hide in the shadows, to shallow to speak
these rivers, paint elixirs; that we can't swallow
models of growth, still unshattered
i was supposed be gone, still a pawn to language
languid vines, walking through anguish
waking words, recycled ideology
the symbology of potent monotony
everything is flimsy, soaked in envy
I bathed inside my own bitterness
west of beauty, claw right through me
im not alone in ignorance
dancing with my arrogance
what do you do, when all that's you is arbitrary?
when the high-res photos, only harbor grief?
when progression comes at the expense of harmony?
what we have placed here is hardly me
recycled time, through clogged arteries
no hope found in artistry
you can call me weak, i ought to be
rust Phoenix in the heart of weeds
ITSD:
Last time through a mutt haze
Ten seconds lose the eye of a hurricane
Distant mutter guts yew on those ending ways
Bit figure insult chatter on a crushed leg
Lost lamb Saturn red in the tabloids
Forgotten reader wanders through all the yellow voids
Eyes and ears cowards cheer while Goliath fears the unalloyed
Circle enclosed trite envoy annoyed by ranting head
High bridge is pattern low conjure turret threads
Flying venomous elements graded in shreds
Tread carefully or dread the boring instead
Cadaverine decaying in the house of barbed wires
Throwing a fourth palm in tricking halves and blight fires
Scorched tires
Reticulated from when islands fed your plight desires
A bitter taste of bombing in a sensation crazed
Taipan deadlock imp grin shine right when dazed
Tattoo forgone endurance slip slip deleted gazes
My feather lacing mazes
My border blazes like I’m made of razors
Stand still like that harrow what comes what lingers
Opium war called from the ledge with the fell limp zithers
Ayahuasca withers
Crackling bolts yelling what breaks one’s fingers
