a dance,
close,
intense,
flowers
wither on the vine
from the heat of the sun…
the lure of escape, drugs,
melting the facade
of illusion…
high on the mountain,
floating on the ocean,
soaring through the heavens,
dancing in the fires of hell…
the lure of escape, drugs,
believing the rhetoric,
changing the chemistry,
a world of delusion.
