Blind Corners

 the sober stumbled over itself. all tangled heroes and shaky narratives. i wore the epiphany in glitter and soiled pillows. a thief in beggar's clothes. 

the truth closed its zippers. a lazy assassin. in a suicide of choices. 

the distance erupted. the greedy void overtook us. a promise disemboweled. 

desire arrived in pins and needles. all the glorious poisons flesh commands. 

temptation lay timid inside its box as we peaked  under the lid. 

fragile and hungry. as we left it there to die.
