I closed the curtains over
Blocking out the beaming sun and the world
I could've swooned from the heat
Around the dross I've created
Enveloped in smoke
In a jungle
Choking on my sharp words
Three drinks into the day
I was a free spirit
Not a sacrifice
Colours glow in my eyes
I've died
It was an artistic experiment
A bird song
The tug of the pulp
When it all went wrong
When the spark was to the heather
I made an excuse for the depredation
It has been months since I've felt anything
As always the moon beckons
Now I have rearranged myself
My ice cream dreams are melting
There's a canyon in my heart
I'm wide awake
Captivated by the flicker of the light
My mind is going around in circles
It's like a ballerina in a trinket box
Blind to the uninviting consequence
In the tailback, around vapid grays
Carrying dead weight and machinery
I'm made of magic
Time is slipping away like there's no tomorrow
I wish it would never end.

You have a way with striking phrases.
I've died
It was an artistic experiment
My ice cream dreams are melting
I'm made of magic
