Lazarus Unbound

 I was dead, not long after I stood. 
Sewn words, bound in useless rambling. 
Cradled were my words in silence. 
A dear diary no one gave a fuck about. 
Arthritic ink, pushing against the counter 
Aweighing anchor, 
Dredging along each consonant 
Pushing adverbs into pulp. 
A version of a darkness in service.
A prolonged perturbance of want. 
A rerun program prostrating a slow death on midnight cries 
Pining of aloneness–evermore. 
Fast-forwarding through your melodrama. 
The same bullshit. 
The same recycled letters. 
A long-winded page of a poet's self-sabotage 
Airing out in run-on sentences. 
Putting the weakness in vowels: U & I.
