bandaid

another night with toothpicks in the eyes
no sleep
and no relief
from the humming hamsterwheel in my brain
at least as diabolical to the mind
as poe's pendulum to the body

not quite dawn
and all i can think to do
is run to the sea
whose unfailing rhythm
driven by the faithful diana
will reset me

whose saltperfumed air
will fill my lungs
and ride the neverending loop
of my body's bloody subway
flushing my heart
(constricted as it is
by the dreary encrustation
of the petty
the quotidian
the goddamned smugness
of the unthinking self-satisfied)
clean

the sun is a pale trembling thing
in a stormcloud sky
an unquiet dawn splashed otherworldly
as if vincent had reached down
and laid the innards of his soul
across the horizon

the lowtide breakers
batter the black and broken rock
as i stand
dysfunctional but breathing
wishing to god and the devil
i had enough money
to buy my way out of this cage
or failing that
was young and beautiful
so i could fuck my way out

but that's all a fairytale
god the devil
money youth and beauty
even diana who hides her face in shame
none of it exists in my world

then the rhythm kicks in
and the salt makes its rounds
and i am calmed
ticking
a welloiled watch
gears once again sliding smoothly

and as the first fat raindrops begin to fall
i make my way back
to embrace the ephemeral sleep
of the temporarily well-adjusted
