The Un-purposed Life

It's back again, that sore in the eyes
The brain churned into air, no more declared
Than soft felt breezes at the fingertips.
It's come again, stale textured thoughts from sips
To gulps, but white blandness, what I repulse,
A ringing of dry, mediocre climax.
My friend, my friend, visiting so soon
Leave me now, 'fore I am added to nothing.
A ladder in the distance? What I see now
A ditch I have been living, diving in,
A shallow one from the higher view I wear,
That I have been breathing through a straw —
Suffocation to coughed up water,
A fallout to another ditch, though larger.
