Heroin

I put the spike
in and push it a
little; withdraw, and there
it is.
That beautiful
rose bloom flash.
Push the plunger
and I \'m back in Eden.
Naked and no shame.
And in that moment
it\'s better than
sex and God and Heaven,
and chocolate.
I\'m lost in a
storybook blue
sky, and I don\'t want
to be found.
Nothing matters, but the
sublime substance pumping
through my
veins that make me
immortal.
Icarus flying into
the sun until my
wings melt and I
fall back to earth
and do it all again.
