Excerpt from Nightmare on Elgin

Contributed by KM on Thursday, 12th December 2002 @ 01:20:00 AM in AEST
Topic: oops

Dank essence of twisted memory
Enshrouds concrete lowlight caged unconscious
Steel hardened moldings wrap and caress
Increasingly frightened form as cold sweat
Blossoms from frantic brow

You can smell them in the unwashed air
That hangs in waiting
They know you’re here and you know
There there… it won’t be long

Black slanted curving floor
Provides no grip
For clinging claws and grasping
hopes that slip and fade
you slide so surely toward THAT corner

no time to wonder
no place to think how you arrived
or search escape while every sinew, gasp
guttural instinct cry ‘NO!’
it can’t but it is…

the fate you could never face
even in hate’s most self-pitying moment
and that fact alone makes it so much more
fitting, fearsome and righteous
while internal denials howl in your ears

reality and memories weave a gaseous mix
to enshroud your choking mind’s eye view
and the more you try to push it out
the harder it is to breath anything untainted
by smothering fumes

blood oozes from fingertips that vainly grip
unfeeling asphalt armor belongs in this place
that you don’t… or maybe you do?
As the slope steadily increases and fingernails splinter
You fall to the promise

Of crunching metal and broken glass
On curving floor of destiny’s parkade

Kent Mackey

Wow, this poem is kinda distrubing and yet I like the way it made me feel, I liked the shivers it sent down my spine as I read every line.

Very good work KM keep writing like that
