The Long Ferment
18 Apr 2008, 11:25
My thoughts are a cloudy mess
gluten like epiphanies,
that meld into a thick opaqueness.
A forever state of
complex biochemical changes
slowly dampen my sweetness.
A rough life
my emotions inflate
leaching into alcoholic fumes.
I am stretched
into delicate webbing,
threatening to break.
A formula of years
tears moist yet salty
friction makes for uniformity.
Lay me down
let the realizations
multiply and engulf me.
Stowed internally
eventually I peak,
overflowing.
Constant reshaping
proofing the layers
which precede me.
I am thick skinned
yet vulnerable to
each harsh action.
Watch my color
fade,
the sheen ---
the splendor---
a dull reflection.
