the other side

[Dastrix Slogan]

light grabs at your throat
and pulls you out
from under the ice
of intravenous sleep
the numbness
doused like mud from your spine

sometimes bruised and blue
feels good to be alive

with hands too raw
to beat anymore
the slump in the corner
heaves in only the taste
of warm bread crumbling between your fingers
and it fades with sweet steam
freed from inside

and as the first spark
burrows the depths below
to find hearths hidden
in tenebrous towers
forgotten dreams
and breathe their names
softly
between the hairs on your neck
they are building themselves back to you
from the other side

I like this a lot it got inside me and took me on a very nice visual journey

He's back! Impressive writing! Touches very deep, comes across almost as a revival to life and how hard it is to let go for a return! Wonderfully written and EXTREMELY Deep also Visual enough to feel exactly the emotion you are going through! Superb writing....

There's a lovely balance of clarity and mystery in this. Excellent stuff.

I really like this ending, it does something though I don't quite know what.

(some comfort maybe)
