You know that feeling when the sun is the moon?
When the devil is your friend?
When you feel envy for a beautiful flower?
I do

Wearing a skin that doesn’t fit
Each day it tightens

Someone is always pulling
Tighter
Tighter

I saw him once
I thought about ripping his neck out
I shook his hand instead
Nothing but dust is inside me

The breeze flows and dust flies
Right into the sea

I would be blowing smoke up your butt if I were to tell you that I completely understood this piece. I can tell you though that it held my attention all the way through...that counts as success in my book.

Another beautifully written

Another beautifully written poem Leviathan. I like the transition from the Sun to the Moon to depict The depression, and the darkness of the Devil as it takes you in its hold, almost making you believe it its your freind through its guile. Then the feelings of being in another skin, another body almost and mind set that is suffercating. The dust I took as being the emptyness and decay of a lonely soul that has flown or is floating.
