NO PEACE IN REALITY

Worms ravenous
Scything and screwing into my temples
On route to the
Core of eternal hope

Yet there is
No defence here
Thin-skinned flaccidity
Only

And when the brain is breached
The mind follows
Pierced and unable
To respond

Worms infiltrating
My thoughts
So I can’t hear myself
Anymore

Can’t think normally
What is normalcy?
Not the self-doubtful
Implosions in my mind

Tormented and screwed
Blatant and uneschewed
Worms of phantasm
Aren’t anymore

Lie awake all night
As my heart thumps
And my body pumps
When will it stop?

This self-fulfilling prophecy
Of my nightmares
Is only abated when
I slice and crop
