Sobriety Declined

By: RDV


My mutual fiend,
My mental drama,
Do you recall the seamless surface
Of my anger?
I barred you from my kingdom
The other day,
And over and over again.
Not that it matters
When you’re around,
Only it does when you
Are not.
I see the peak of your head,
From the small window
Of chance that I’d ever
Bother looking to that direction.
But either way
There you are,
Haunting, solidified, masterminding
My bedazzlement to the last.
And I,
I know every raspy sound you make,
Every streak of your wholeness,
Real or imaginary;
The only thing I fear
Is finding it impossible
To unclasp my hands
From your formless, slippery
Body.
