𝑫𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑬𝒀𝑬𝑺 , 𝑰𝑵𝑬𝑿𝑶𝑹𝑨𝑩𝑳𝑬 / the writhing pulsing blood warm thing lurking in ancient gaze. there is a lightness of spirit and soul that has yet to be stripped from him smitten with what can be found gilding the bone marrow of his core. I WAS A GODDAMN KING ONCE ! teeth hidden behind tight lipped facade , a mask of apathy the edges curled inward to flash a peek of ANGER / CRUELTY / KINDNESS. he is who he is , down to his bones , to his roots. to the buds yet to bloom , hot house flowers thirst quenched with suffering , with regret , guilt , exhaustion. everything about him is tired. his hands , aching and scarred , shaking with the liquor and the urge to disappear. WHAT A FUCKING COWARD YOU ARE ! the urge to run until he’s run out of ground , until he takes to the sky.
and ain’t that a damn laugh ? ain’t that a fuckin riot ? the down on his luck leprachaun running again , OLD HABITS DIE HARD / don’t they ? eyes alight on dead girl walking ( not for long though. not for long. can’t make the world wait on you. ) when the end of her world came it passed like an awkward remark. no one was proven right and no one was wrong. no time left for forgiveness or regrets. THE WINDOW IS BACK LIT dark / tinted in shadows cast with flashing neon proclaiming ‘OPEN.’ there was some weighted meaning there if he cared to look for it. ( if he tore his eyes from the milky eyes and sallow skin ) orange warm / cheap and acidic bar lights cast her in something almost living. if you ignored the reflection beside her. dark mirror. the worst sides of her. ( and him. )
SOMEWHERE: amber waves of grain sway in a light breeze. SOMEWHERE: a tin can clunks merrily on it’s way down the highway , the grey sun faded tar and the shock of speeding cars. empty country highways , well worn roads. sun faded signs proclaiming GOD IS REAL ! which god ? which god ? which fucking god ? his southern comfort burns on the way down , true to it’s name , akin to a house and home. what amounts to one for someone who’s boots are so worn , caked in the red dust and clay of the land. washed with the morning dew. tongue unsticks from roof of mouth , words swell up the bear trap of his throat. HE HAS NOT LEARNED TO TEMPER THE WAR RAGING IN HIS UNGRATEFUL MOUTH. “ what are you gonna do dead wife ? “ apropos of nothing. uncaring if his voice cuts through hers or the rest of the world’s. a slow blink , a fan to flames , apathy to hide the edge of regret , alcohol to dull the senses. “ what are ya gonna do , hmm ? you’re fallin apart , how many times are you gonna fuck around like RAGGEDY ANNE before you stop showing face ? your man already tasted death on your tongue and left once. ya think he’d take kindly to this ? “ his boot nudges the bench. encompasses all of her.
