angst cycle (iii)
[Z] (vi)

i just
have to get
through this

that’s all

it can be done
it will be done

so long
as i don’t
have to give
the poetry
away

away
to the poison

no
i am not
generating the pain
by writing

i am describing it
and by describing it
do i worsen it

yeah yeah
i know the cliché
you’re thinking of
it’s apt

except
the scab
is external

more than
they usually are

more than ever
