material traces now gone, and so goes the spirit.

Ive finally reached the conclusion that i am being erased from existence.
picked out of my element and dropped off into mist.
all my belongings, all slowly creeping down through cracks,
sucked under the rug, greedily gobbled up by the cat.
Buried deep in the covers, mistakenly cooked up on the stove.
Twisted up in bags of garbage, disintegrated like tissues with the clothes.

songs floated in the wind, then breathed up someone elses nose.
home jingled haughtily beneath a tire, then was rubbed into the road.
letters rummaged round the table, climbed into a cup to drown
spilled the glass on the lamp's wire, and in darkness i am now.
spectacles id like to find, but where, God, do they lay?
from kingdom come, thy will be done. They're left out in the rain.

of all the things ive failed to keep, my spirit ive failed more
by imagined death, with recompense of lies, lips, liquor.
quiet now, im resting now. my heart im left to keep
or should i say, ive kept til now with hopes of help to sleep.
and though i lay, my barren room, my pockets sore and lean.
i shut my eyes and leave this place to suffer by my dreams.
