Give Me Ink

Give Me Ink

A Poem by Karina Longo

This is utopia; nightmares facing the sun.
You're nothing; inky wounds.
Sparkling bubbles killing drains,
smooth disappointment
Flush it all - piss, water, cocaine dreams
and prescribed hints - lovely deadly routine

Me?
I am Snow White poisoned forever,
No one but one shadow  -
I am nothing and should be everything -
inky dreams.

I suppose theories are for the tender,
Suppositions - me, am I surreal?
I must be
Because I only try to speak the truth
At the kingdom where the lies run free
An empire must fall, although emptiness
never did.

Cold wash, hidden typed scribbles -
you slammed the door in my heart's face
You blame the wind, but still
We are the perfect shape of nothing; aching dreams.

Actions, reactions, revolutions, desillusions -
All running in the outside
when you don't cage what's inside,
Well, it would kill me if I did,
but even if it means nothing,
Someone shall write nihilism and extropianism -
So please,
give me ink.

Lovely deadly routine. Honestly, I can't think of the last time I heard three words so perfectly combined as those. You set the bar for this thing really high right off the bat, and followed all the way through without missing a beat from then on. This is my favorite piece of yours so far.

As I look down this page of reviews, I see a lot of short little blurbs with precious few constructive statements. Normally this might bother me, but I think you may have left them all speechless, and I can certainly relate to that.

"Flush it all - piss, water, cocaine dreams"

Cutting words, very blunt and unapologetic. Nicely written, Karina.
