Slip

Further, further, spiraling down
till my stomach turns and time
falls onto stained glass ground
Faltering and failing in this bliss
A secondary, an offensive
pause to touch, memory false
I've slipped into this state
of blues and whites, a faint
gray of my heart beat lights
the walls, slowing, slowing
while the blood drip waterfall
echoes through this space
a shard trips over skin to
these veins carrying disease
A disease that lives in
these aching bones, residing
in my own feverish hell
I'll place this desire, this
lust aside, to rest, to sleep
to forever vanish into
this forever granite steps
