I witnessed seven people fall in love
with high blood pressure, it lead to a time bomb,
to falling down with your eyes
open, focused on a landing spot.
This is where helicopters are set alight, you did not understand
they twist into limp muscle and smile at the large X,
I have important things to tell you
like I could swallow bullets like H2O, or get fucked up
in nightclubs, I could inhale a whole birthday cake,
spit it out with violence and hate
or run down country roads at 2am, screaming, wearing only
black hot pants.
I have secrets to share, choices to make
under covers, behind books, below pavement slabs,
or I could hold raspberries to my wrists
and pretend I am brave.

In this Chaos and burning I find a way to release, these are my words, these words set me free, This is my breath of life, this is me, in my free colored and spirited world of poetry.

I have not witnessed this depth of poetry for a while
(meaning I must get used to reading your works again!)
and so this really took me back
and I loved it.
Espescially the beginning and the end.
Bravo!
