Heroin

Thomas W Case



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.

    I’ve never been there. You make it sound amazing. The flying sounds incredible, the fall back to earth a real downer. Great read Thomas.

  • orchidee

    I've not been there either, but I've been to the Co-op. That's elating - the highlight of my week! lol.

    Confession or imaginative creation?
    Either way well executed. Some can do it and lead a functional life, I'm told. Some don't make it:

      My dyslexia was telling me it was going to be a poem about a woman of Superhuman qualities, of divine origin..
