The Former Via The Latter, Or Vice-Versa?

The Former Via The Latter, Or Vice-Versa?

A Poem by labyrinthapathy

Oh, how it would feel...
Just one approaching needle
Still and without quiver as it nears
Plants the first mark
Begins to stretch taut skin
Finally punctures as a single drop of life surfaces
Checking its maps before venturing further
Into an uncharted void of flesh and sinew
Carving its own straight line of clockwork precision
Following the vertex with sensation until, at last, it breaks through
Holding back the immense urge to smile
Though the mind's image is elated
Entering the mouth with utmost anticipation
Enticing the moist air around it
And not losing any grip as the syringe breaks
As something thick is introduced into it...
Something dark and captivating in theory
Although some find it morose or even usual
It travels through subtle excuses
Without leaving a stain
Pouring into the mouth with passion
Even though it could take days
Pooling toward the edge
And beginning to trickle down the lips
Widening to a energetic stream
Until there is none left
The head tips forward
And the residual is left to weep itself out
Completely draining
A second time...

A very interesting view.
Almost reminds me of something the Velvet Underground would do.
Potent thoughts..unrestrained.

Enjoyed it.
