I feel my motivation crumble
I feel my will to live buckle in the wind
I dip my toes into the water,
And my ego rushes in
It rushes in —
The temptation, it does howl
My window is open, the curtains are drawn
The light outside, I feel better
Consolation of light — tonight; tomorrow, I have
These shackles to break, my clandestine morals
Pleasantries, violence, and dignity
Like a stone upon the ice
A simple note to self written on a serviette
Crumbling into the fold
Crumbling into the unknown
Into the fold; into the unknown
In the spiral room
The salt of the Earth coats the smoke in your mouth
Is it made? Or is it earned — the flavour of life?
The flavour of lust
Upon my flesh
The flavour of love
Upon my breath
