Waves

[TheDeceased]

flattened like a pancake
under the dull weight of
repitition and avoidance
a life-force in waiting
condemned to waste
decades of servitude
slowly, slowly
pushing
down
flat
into
the
dirt.
ego
the
size
of an
insect
barely
recognizable
a numbing wave
lapping at my every synapse
calming, with a slice of outrage
feels like this sedated nightmare
is rapidly becoming permanent
my pre-slave self
growing distant
transforming
dissolving
slipping
dulling
dying
then
mute.
history
through
memories
now recyled
childhood-like fiction
unsettling my psyche
words lingering sideways
ilegible and frightening
uttered by masked reflections
or mirrors prone to lying
certainly somebody else
familiar... but impossible.
