Lead Beater

My nerves shake half exposing
Ohhhh I shake tonight
Masked, covered and indifferent to the whole
I'm old. Rotting ships
I know no difference between interference
I shake in an uncomfortable form
I'm useless to apologies

I'm a slow dive. 999
Manic felt. 999
I’m a slow dive. 999
Pissing wind. 999
Eating wind through teeth
Which do not exist

I eat my food with only gums
I taste my food but have no tongue

I’m a sad display of pace
You’ve never seen such a thrill
It's engrossed just like a worm
I'm tongue tied. I tremor while I'm still

I'm a slow dive. 999
Manic felt. 999
I’m a slow dive. 999
Pissing wind. 999
Eating wind through teeth
Which still do not exist

I eat my food with only gums
I taste my food but have no tongue

I drip in surfaces
And don’t come back
I suck old rituals

The pig. He sleeps on a mattress
And covers up in sheets
My breath pours out my purple mouth
And feeds him all his meat
My nerves shake like pollen
In a cool summer’s breeze
I can erect myself
But still I cannot leave

I’ve watched you come in and out of dreams
And I’ve watched for sights overhead
But I can’t swear what it is
I just look up for someone to help me
There’s nothing I can see
These usual things

Where you lay my comatose
I wretch in nervous frequency
Propped up against abnormality
Its sickness fills up the room
