Brutal Memories From Coke-Fueled Mornings

 

 

Brutal Memories From Coke-Fueled Mornings

 

it was never easy trying to

find my brain amidst

empty bottles and blow spillage;

 

searching night and day for the

a little piece of soul that had

died

during a cold night

in a foreign deserted island.

 

so many tears, in shooting

galleries desperation leaks from

the walls, every little hole on

the half-standing

structure there to commemorate those

that left,

 

that visited new gardens to search

for forbidden fruits.

 

the gin flows freely, the

head grows soft and tender,

 

somehow,

there’s a refulgent moment where it

all fucking makes sense.

 

it never lasts;

always lost in

unwritten lines of

drunken dreams and

cocaine decisions.
