Onward Downward Falling

“dizzy vertical drops” 


The air in my head formed a pretzel,
salty and fashioned like hard bread,
unbundling my sanity on the fall
Onward, the memories  plunge into me.

 

wind howling with ancient tempest
all purpose taken by the scooping clouds,
I feel my neurons screech criminally
they break and crack, raspy; crunch.
Onward, the sky screams into me.

 

Into the dizzy blue, all past above,
controls blasting away from memory
panicked knots of visions hot, singeing the sky.
Onward, the Earth plunges into me,
one shadow flickering through sharp branches.

The Quelling

“Forget my bad memories”


Please quell my rugged memories
they twist my head. Warping.
My days decay-
 
Let’s grab our shovels and shove
the past to the curb
peace to my head.
Let the stench shrivel
into silence.
