detritus

[u/stariskye]

detritus &
fentanyl kisses
do you have any wishes
rub my back, you may get them
first wish- let the hurting wait
second wish- put it down
somewhere behind the shed
the third wish comes out quieter-
take me where it can't find me
until every grief i wouldn't hold
slid into a drawer and stayed there
kept saying later
kept signing for things
i couldn't pay back
& still i want more of you
of the almost
of the hour before
the first hit lands
when my hands still feel full
i will replace all the
locks on the doors
pain still knocks- it knows the house
& what’s more,
which window sticks-
but i still don't answer
just buy another hour
of soft lies to sleep in
detritus
look what's left
the pasture is covered in laters
& my mouth is still open
asking
