i explore
the ragged rim of this
smoking crater opened
up by internal
forces crashing
into one another
with tectonic fury
the edges of another
bipolar induced frenzy
as the world quivers
in barely disguised
indiscriminate agonies

swaying in line
electrified cilia
pulsating in time
to the metronomic
sensation of simply
disconnecting from
war ravaged dreams
where every step
opens sinkholes into
the very essence of
bare nerves flayed
by undefined delirum

i cannot seem to
find stability in
what appears to be
a biblical reckoning
as juxtaposed through
nihilistic filters
an atheist’s take on
armageddon all while
decrying the immense
contradictions in
the chaos incarnate
as sudden decompression
squeezes the air from
long winded theories
