Homeostasis..

I am losing myself
in a concrete vividness-
Whitewashed
my brain and body
functioning
on planes identical
and inseparable-
I spill
crazy energy
everywhere-
Dripping in essence
and oozing sadness-
A tragedy
underlines everything-
My hands
cannot forget
that their only bleeding
purpose
is to
grasp and move
and to be used-
Brain and body
functioning
in a desperate exasperation-
Hating
everything
that is not me-
Finding
threats in silence
and holding
broken promises-
My eyes
cannot forget
that they exist
only to see
and not to be
a part of anything-
Summertime
smothers my senses-
clinging, wet, remorseless-
Yet implacable
the flowers grow-
petals akimbo
to merge and unite
with the
humidity-
Breathing,
their essence seeps
into me
and colors my
soul
intensely-
What rejoinder
satisfies
the sunken lips
and
sundered jaws
of
summertime??
