One thing that I've noticed about myself is that randomly during the day I might think of a certain line or group of words that sound good to me. The other day actually, I punched two lines into my cell phone because I didn't have a pen or paper at the time but wanted to make sure I remembered them. So today I sat down and decided to write this out based on the lines I had come up with a few days ago. Anyway, here it is. Critique or comment please. Thanks.
Awaken to sirens
Bleating like sheep
Bleeding from beatings
With thick cast-iron tools
Hazy apartment windows
Slam open
Stagnant sweaty air fills nostrils
As moustache curls and eyebrows furrow
Last night’s liquor curdles
In my gut
And I’m puking chunks of pavement onto the floor
Asphalt lungs hacking soot
Fingernails scratching hardwood
Pulling for the phone
Awaken to sirens
Screaming like premature
Infants
And blasting through streets
On rocket thrusters
En-route to infirmary
Stretcher to emergency room
Shouting staff growing hoarse
Demands barking from open mouths
Like wartime sergeant orders
Concrete and organs pour from body
As hands force needles and tools in
Misty purple shroud fills air and
Heavy eyelids slam shut like apartment windows
Awaken to agony
To restraint
To cost of last night’s debauchery
