Devistation by Tucker Duncan

Authority placed me
On my back.
Resting uneasy.
They Interrogate my eyes fixated
On the walls.
Stone hard chambers,
Concrete around myself.
Trying to scratch my nose
Held down
By the questions they ask.

From far off continents
The shelter of interrogation
Leaking blue substances.
Stringing from the walls.
Trickling from the ceiling.
The room melts like
Fiery ice.
Festering emotions humbly arise
From all parties.
I take notes in
My mind and try
Not to choke
Still I can't cope.
The possibilities seem endless.
The blue flows like cement mixers.

Still I rest uneasy.
Sweat beading up.
Rolling down my insides.
Making this ingrown
Rash shake like
Cold water on cats.
Hot my tongue cries
Moist droplets collect
Rolling down my throat
Which is rough,
Cutting my tonsils.
Recovering from
Years before.

I keep taking notes
Relaying in my mind.
Transformed by time.
Only time was
Blue cement-melting walls.
Still I can't stop.
Their words flash like
Horizontal triangular
Screen savers on
Lap top computers.
Those notes rush like
Subway traffic in
New York City on Friday nights.
My forehead is inside out
Resembling
Candy cane patterns.
Still memorizing these
Notes take action.

Vertical rise
I break my torture chamber
Freedom from bondage
Taking the addiction to
A higher level.
Staring around food dye
Blue rushes towards
My face.
Ever so closely my eyeballs.
Sucking in humility
Signatures exposed on
My body.
King
Hendrix
Koston
Ghost
Tattooed on my thigh.
Yusef
Guru
Hype
Will
Engraved into my spine.
Jackson
Saul
Kenedy
Langston
Stowe
Spread wide open on
My chest.
Poe
Musolini
Santos
Cut into my palms.
Tuna
Intellect
Tubman
Sole
And last but not least
Tagged across my chest
In bold letters of
Fullfilled fusion that
Spreads like fire on gasoline.
TUCKER REEVES DUNCAN!

I have overcome
Symptoms that disoriented
My posters that represent
My columns thrashing apart
The rooms in the brick
House of my own.
I have grown
Flourished
Steamed
Branched
Blessed
And resurrected to
New representations.

An embrassment putting
My feet back onto
The ground.
I have overcome
Revolved to call
God on my Motorola
Asking for his forgiveness
Of worth wild apocalyptic
Vengeance on this cause.
Replaying messages that
I am coming home
save me
So I may grow to be
Sworn in as recovered.

I think next I'll give a
Call to my father.
Caressing the numbers I dial.
Realizing the battery is about
To run out.
One last chance before
Purgatory is over.
Taken back to reality or
The amends will never cease.
Please don't complicate things
I can't find a signal.
I beg and pled for forgiveness.
The batteries loose power
While I go to rectify.
Screaming while I take place above the clouds
Regretting what happened before
So don't leave me
I plead.
Don't leave
So I may stay and wish off fairy tales together.
Forget the past and listen to me now.
For time is running out
