walking across the desert

"it's...just...laying me to waste"

And now 30.

And only a slightly more melancholic version of the decade-junior.

Face unshaven, hair caked with filth, brain knotted and immobile and heavy, sad eyes and hands tucked into armpits, a slight rocking motion for comfort, and sentences amiss. Insufficient vocabulary to explain - noone to understand, anyway. Social skills long extinct, barked at an adolescent today. A litter of thoughts fighting for a spot...

...our proud jesus, disengaged and walking across the desert, sun sapping the fucking life out of him.

And now slowly lifting leg into casket - just to try, just to lay down for a moment, just one minute I swear. Final thin pages of an average and unexciting book turning mindlessly in the draft, dust-wooden, empty room...blue-gray...

"Let me see your tongue, son"
