Poison

Just because it tastes sweet on the way down, doesn't mean it's not poison.




Explosions tick off in my head
sparkling cracks like fireworks
on long fuses
my mind hums
the sound amplifies
& soon I'm drowning under
the sheer weight of it all
I hear a snap and
thunder and my brain rattles
inside of my skull
prickling, spine tingeling
acheing poison
