Poem: Marginal Insight

Marginal Insight

I know that I may drown
Beneath the addict’s gown

The kind I wear
It warms despair

Descent, decline: sun-down

A needle fills the gape
A most peculiar shape

Of flesh and bones
And memory moans

To hang or stretch: I drape

What is this shapeless storm
The gape?  My human form

But still I fill
My void with swill

A choice, a right: my norm
