donnie woke up at a quarter to 5, talking in his sleep and walking to the bathroom.
he stared at his feet and then walked back to his bed only to find his pillow on the floor.
he reached down to get it, and got into bed again.
when the clock alarm went on, he took his 7pm pills.
when the clock alarm went on, he took his 03am pills.

aftermath.

LONG AGO WHEN I WAS FASTER THAN THE HORSE I RIDE, THE WHOLE THING WAS CLEARLY THE OTHER WAY ROUND
NOTHING CAME AND NOTHING WENT UNLESS I SAID SO
NO SOUL WAS TO BE SEEN AT NIGHT
NO FLYING DWELLER WAS PERMITTED IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.
tHE ONLY FLIGHT WAS MY MISTRESS COMING FOR ME,
WITH NEW BLOOD
HOT
AND READY
FOR SUPPER
THE CRYING BLOOD OF THE NEW VIRGIN SACRIFICE
AND NOW.
I JUST CRAWL IN THE MUD,
AND KICK MYSELF IN THE COFFIN
THAT SHALL ULTIMATELY RECEIVE ME.
