Jeremiah Walton- A Poem


SCRAPS

I’ve found apathy under my scalp
harboring a dagger.
Mouth is whetstone.
Tongue is splinter
covered in paper cut. 
Gun is hole capped pocket.
I am kite full of whiskey,
caught in own tail,
too pathetic to find new lips.
That is a metaphor for suicide.
(That was not insult to your intelligence.
I'm just imagery laden and tired.)
The magnitude
of your individual existence
is a seismograph
breaking.
