Where is the drug to drug this feeling out of me, the drug

to drug away the fear of drugs and what they steal from me

or stole from me, sometimes love and then my sanity, the frozen

bowling ball that set up shop inside my gut and liked it there

and never went away, I never went away for fear of losing

what I left which was itself a kind of hell, the hell of being

terrified of swapping hell for hell, my son, fucked up, rolled

his car in dark Ohio, lay inside the ditch and listened to the crickets,

even grass, he said to me, he could hear it growing, and corn, all

of it just trying to get by, as close as he could come, he said, to God,

and I was a such a fool, believing in fruition, stuck inside the fairy

tale of resurrection, even stars, he said, are trying to get by and then

he used for ten more years and bankruptcy and where’s the melody

to remedy the melody, the remedy to remedy the remedy?
