to live is the rarest thing in the world

to live in the midst of crises
abound
i've found it unsettling
and decide to hide underground

eventually i will return, and you
will see
but until then i write and write and write
where no one else can see

to be released upon parchment
is an explosion most triumphant
the poet's heart splattered
-- SPLAT! --
onto the page via a
collection of ideas and conventions
all coalescing into one's mind,
wrapping around the truth laid out
with the experiences encountered beforehand

these fingers are insanely but unfortunately deft
these eyes are always but wearily open
these ears are forever but ache hearing
these hands are hungry but longing in their feeling
these tastebuds taste something foul in the air

i bleed through these words,
my veins bisected and bifurcated
until i create a masterpiece worthy of
king hades himself
