Lead Beater - These Arms Are Snakes

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
