By Way of the Drug

Kevin Calaguiro

Acoustic rock to my ear
Binding me to the moment
Feeding me

Magnificent lifeless roses
Looming over a makeshift vase
Honey dew and sickle cell
Watching the day haze away

Between cigarettes
And nights passing
Living life by way of the drug

Piloting this plane
Drawing death in
And waiting for the wake

In the mass of culture
Of struggle
Masked by lust
Holding it to me

Watching the ash of night
Mix with the breath
Rolling with life
Silently letting Go
Taking it in
While it slowly decides its end
