drink thy tainted liquid,
black and syrup,
fiery as nether realms
and holy as cherubs

down thy poison
and anti-emittent
until thy mind soothed,
the suede of opiate

the soma of earth,
the light of moon,
and a vacation soon.

the peace of earth is sunlight,
the peace of earth is passivity.
the peace of earth is love,
wherever it may be.

inbetween sidewalks,
inbetween counters,
inbetween highway lanes
waiting to be devoured.

in a drawer, in a bag
in a hollowed book
a hidden stash.

we stand like fences that divide us,
losing traction, and sinking.

precipitate; show me the way.
