Swimming in Bacteria - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

Sliding through your security
To the fabric of your mind
Spreading your impurity
All throughout your kind

I'm at the bottom of this ocean
Where the light can never reach
Swimming through this bacteria
Rust flowing through my teeth
Another hated entity
In the blackened cold beneath

Imagination flowing through
Underneath my static room
Forgot myself inside this tune
Stuck beneath this massive gloom

Run about your busy day
While my morals fade away
Kindness ravaged by dismay
Nothing left of me to save
