Stuck between a rut and a manic firework show pouring sparkles in the cuts.
Luck always outruns the ones who pretend that no gates are constantly shut.
Rude thoughts intrude my white blood cells, whispering how I’m a prude.
Crude laces and nude portraits covered in mud spin around me, reckless and lewd.
Lost, my hearts crossed in this sin city of Sue and sewers covered in rust.
Lust wraps the frost but I still feel pity that’s due. Eyes grow distant and crossed.
Dark lands leave marks on my shoulders while mirages sing to me through an arc.
Hark! The fire sparks, cold and ruts are camouflages of anchors dragging my soul
As a barque.
