Beating
Like a drum, or
a Hammer

Creaking
Crackling, and torquing

A short fuse
torching

The sound of morning
The sound of night
little reason
could be right

all perception
like shadows shapes
vibration of air
not here, but there

silence waiting
shadows trace

so very tiring
ready the fool
record what splatters

breaking begets broken
stopped by puzzled motion
jelled rapidly in place

what then has become
some useless clumps:
erstwhile teeth, and face

Manic Depression so named no more
Major Depressive; Affective this role.

I know what I want
but I just don’t know how to go about getting it.

Feeling, sweet feeling
drops from my fingers: Music.
Sweet music, I wish I could caress.

I think I’ll go tear-myself-up; go on down
Really ain’t no use in me;
hanging around, You know.
what I’m trying to say

I wish I could caress.
a frustrating mess.

Come down now from your Fence.
Rise from your knees.
Cry ‘Liberty!’

Of text for blades;

a gun, and a rose,

alter punctuation, therefore capitalization”
