Talk to Mike Grotsky on the Fictionville blog
Alone in the world
And everything repeats
The types
The scenes
The emotions
Except
for love
You can hold god close
You can heat yourself with god
But god doesn’t keep you from alone
God will give you strength
But wont keep you from alone
The bottle will give you strength
The needle the weed the hole
In your concept of time
The tongue the taste the skin
The smell the scent the juice
The stroke the nip the slap
The legs that never
‘scape your mind
the ties that bind yer mind
The hips that sway the day away
Passion will give you strength
Sex will give you strength
Desire will give you strength
But only love will give you shelter
Fortunate those that do
Blessed be the damned
The good the bad the indifferent
Pain is the illusion
The substitution
We make at any price
Ah, anything to cool this brutal
Heat in the guts
Show me your tenderness
And offer me up slow
Imperfect sacrifice
On the tarnished altar
of your perfectly unreedemed abyss
