Oh, Wake Up!

Pulse quickening, sand eroding, a hole in the earth, a transport beam of light guides ships home. Wave after wave of nausea euphoria eyes crusted with sleep focus seeing yellowed skin like leather. Warm weather settles upset stomachs. She had AIDS in her heart, a disease incapable of being cured, during long hours and high tides she’s submerged. Treasure troves under homes house skulls cruel and chipped around the nasal cavity. Distance damages hopes displacing happy/sad thoughts, inverting time, stop your applause. The biggest lie is the one intended to convince yourself that there is nothing there.

Tucked away like children in a matchbook. Strike when ready. Camouflaged paramilitary hunting, live rounds ammunition. Pierce skin break ribs seek muscle coronation ceremony heart please stop beating so fast.
