swallow the stars above
i fly,
wingless,
through the
breezeless
oceanic skies.
i look up,
gaping,
to swallow
those stars above,
my tranquilizers,
to numb all sense of
(
Self
Worth
Help
)
-lessness
tame mirage of
hopeless dreams
and dull the desire
to be skinned
and grow wings
* natural, remedial *
winded and sedated,
i fall
belly up,
down drifting,
euphoric
almost,
only to feel the safety
net catch me, lifting
me
up and out
of this misery
momentarily,
gasping for Life
desperately,
trying to flap back
Home.
my last thoughts:
“i only want to be a fish swimming in the skies screaming for a mouthful of stars”
