anarchy cigarettes & pacifist beer
it's been cloudy for years, that much is clear
but the ash clouds aren't distracting
they pull me backward headwise, back to days
    I stood in parking lots, waiting on the oil to rain
- I wish I were flammable.

& if I were flammable, I'd offer my whole
to be trussed to a cannonball & sent to a soul
     in need of a miracle falling waste star
they'd smile thru stormy veil, I'm sure,
     glad it's not themselves, broken, ablaze
& poke me w/ wire, w/ curiousity captured in
     sky flitting embers, driftwood crackle
mellow crater, shallow wisps of timber breath,
     scraps like Pierrot in tatters, Plastiko burning,
     a solution to a problem that never began, began too soon, solved in portions
     to be unresolved, luminiscent like fireflies dissected, laid out for
     observation, lacking prior beauty, in pieces
in pieces, in pieces still waiting on footsteps of
     Harlequin nonspecific, still waiting on a distraction,
     waiting in pieces smoldering, pondering...

Perhaps the Beginning is asking Why

It's been a heavy, heavy, heavy week.
I don't remember writing this. I woke up, and it was in my notebook, in my handwriting.
But I don't recall...

It's been a heavy, heavy week.

You've got a -lot- of fantastic imagery in here. Line breaks and form are also working really well.
:iconsupernova-stain:
Thanks.
It seems like I write better when I black out.

I've never actually blacked out, but I used to write things that I didn't understand a -lot- in high school. Since I've started taking more poetry and fiction classes, my inspiration is a bit more focused and I tend to have a bit more control, but those streams of consciousness can be really insightful.

I know your pain, but the piece is actually amazing.

The very last line says everything that needs to be said.

When silence is the next best thing to bliss"
:iconsupernova-stain:
The last line came a day later, kind of an afterthought, but I felt it was an afterthought worth mentioning.

:iconhaircut-economics:
It certainly was worth it. Like, I read the entire thing, and then read the last line and had to stop and think about it.

That's the point to writing.
Inspire autonomous cerebration.
