Thank you. Here is the poem-

GUT

I like poems that start in my sick head

they perfume the shit outta my cerebrum

I deal dopamine in my brain

I shoot up

my synapses go off like fireworks

the lines come in
waves
washing up
as ink
onto the paper shoreline

it’s all so calm

like a dazed out junkie
rocking back and forth

this one didn’t start in my head

it came
right onto the brutality of the empty page
it’s coming straight from my guts

I can feel it
see it

the way that deer
on the side of the road
being put down
saw the glint of sun
off the rifle
