Falling
Last night, I very nearly fell off the wagon. It would not have been as spectacular as I or most others would have expected, but the effects would have been catastrophic. From very early evening, all I could think about was getting drunk and smoking, no matter how hard I tried I could not remove these thoughts from my head. It took every sinew of strength I had to stop myself from grabbing that leftover from new year (and by now very well chilled) tin of lager from the fridge, rolling myself a smoke and shouting FUCK IT! Thank fuck I never, because this morning I don't have to live with the guilt and the inevitable black shadows which would have enveloped me, those big black dogs and the butterflies. Today I am free, still free from all I want to be. Taken at face value, my fall would have been a pathetic one, minor to the majority, from a molehill not a mountain, but the injuries sustained would have taken weeks to heal, and that's if I was extremely lucky.
The Darkest Hour
and so
they marched
in time, long hats, coats,
the palest
of faces in gloves,
the procession of shiny black coffins
winding its way
through the street, marching
to the beat, of my heart.

Flyblown
down
the rickety pipe
the last one
twists
into the pit,
that loathesome pit
ever so slow
it twists
and turns,
black.

The Red Death
In robes
stumbling
through crimson curtains
fraying cords
flaxen faces, watchful paintings
candlesticks
I fall into that writhing sea of bloody hands
and wake to witness
the rise
of that slow, macabre
morbid dance of death
the sun

Butterfly
on those
deep purple nights
when the wind howls outside
biting
and flying
around with the limbs
of dead trees
in it's teeth and it's talons
I form my cocoon
fix a gaze on the eyes
or the light
which surrounds her glass body
