Untitled by Tucker Duncan

I escaped an inescapable prison,
Retaining barb piercing
Walls which
Swallow men whole,
Exposing their bones
Translucent when clocks
Strike twelve and my being
Turns Deep Ocean blue,
For she put her
Guard down in
The bell tower.
Tempting individuals
Curious about my escape
My eyes growing deeper
Into her silhouette
I left in the bell tower
As I ran away,
Like after
Ten jellies
Ten tabs
Ten bags and
Ten rocks.
Inside the belly's beast
I was swallowed alive.

I had a certain
Child hood fantasy
Stolen from my idle,
Tucked
Sharpened away
Amongst the derby in
My left pocket
Along with a
Polaroid of her
Glowing fairy tale pink realm.
My left pocket
I reputed through
Tissues torn scar body fragmented
Outcrops towards
Lightning thoughts

Sparked my hands
Cold,
Fingertips heavy with
The weight of
One hundred pounds of solidified guilt.
Trying to
Spark fluids in zippos,
Backs,
Refused
Crack getting' cold,
Or maybe it wasn't crack.
Maybe it was weed
Laced two-hundred times over
Itself with half cut milligrams
Of SPAM
Poor mans food.
The smell
Stained fingernails still lingering,
My own light blue realm
Traveling trails
Destine philosophies attracted my
Eye chasing Polaroid's,
Barren Ocean dreams
Dripping fascinated
Honey dwelling poetic ruminator.
Each trail involving
Tasks of boundless tactics,
Bubbling
Perspired energy roared
Amongst slim brown skin
Complecting
Lavender light pink realms
Throbbing outlines of
Physical characteristics,

So I escaped an
Inescapable prison
Not just for myself.
For my lover
Who fell asleep at
Her guard in the
Bell tower while I
Sealed our realms
Of pink
Blue
Cancer
Pieces,
Blending as if forgotten coffees,
Dew dripping on
Honey drops.
