On Medication
I can only write when I can’t breathe,
My creative side turned on by the vise of mania,
fueled by undrugged highs
and arching into an orgasm that no
tongue or touch or taste can give me,
but on those fucking details
fucking me until my hands shake with intent of getting them down on paper (just hold still and I’ll get it right),
until I find myself without the afterglow and
eighteen books calling to me
and some significance that was there just last night -
Or was I only finding meaning like this the last time I wasn’t on meds?
