Do not disturb
Heavy lids and fogged mind
Slow descent to a better place
Wrapped and snuggled
With fogged mind and heavy lids
To be brought
So sharply back
Whiplash waking
That upright bolt
To reach out and grasp
Liquid painkiller; gasping guzzle
And settle once more
To drift again, down down down
Wakened again - a whiplash bolt
As tiny teeth nip and nibble
Within a rag and cardboard nest
Rat infested home on derelict street
Slow descent to a better place
Wrapped and snuggled
With fogged mind and heavy lids
To be brought
So sharply back
Whiplash waking
That upright bolt
To reach out and grasp
Liquid painkiller; gasping guzzle
And settle once more
To drift again, down down down
Wakened again - a whiplash bolt
As tiny teeth nip and nibble
Within a rag and cardboard nest
Rat infested home on derelict street

Wow, talk about dark... you really know how to engage the imagination of the reader! So GLAD to have come across your blog.
I was thinking morphine...not rats, but it helped me get the "liquid painkiller".
it was quite 'disturbing'..:|

A poem that crawls into your mind and infests it.

I like the way you do dark pieces. Best part about your work is you do not dwell on self pity.
snooze time, baby!
