I inhaled you like
water through the nose
You stung my throat and I coughed you out
felt like warm rays on my skin
Until it blistered and burnt
Incendiary and offensive
relentless and obnoxious
Ephemeral, at least,
but still regular
Blind eudaemonia, if only
I could subscribe
I worked and worked at myself
I fell and fell again
The more I work the more I fall
The more I fall the closer I get
To rock bottom
The
Only
sure
thing
Sun damage
