Spinning Coins

When I close my eyes I feel small but big, i am everything and nothing.Β
I can feel the rim of the water as it touches my lip, beneath, there is no oxygen, yet my second face lives
The tiles come to life, a barrage of demonic portraits move with the rolling of my eyes and Johnny sings hurt.
I do hurt. The many implements that parade my bathroom cabinet await fresh blood.
drip drop, tick tock into stagnant foam, I've been here too long
It's just a nick, not the vain, I couldn't, I wouldn't, not anymore for there is no more, no more blood just plasma that turns yellow, yellow like the cowards way.
Now they are all watching, the tiles on my bathroom wall, they mock me.
I rinse myself off and watch as the water swirls into dark drains, more of my dead cells, more of my atomic structure, more of my twisted prions for mammals to feed on.
I leave this damp bathroom, and so I liberate the space I once occupied.
Space is important for spinning coins, time and space for spinning coins.Β
I drop to the floor, face up and far away in a distant box, he drops to the floor, face down.

Thank you Tony, I regularly hallucinate while lying in a tub of water, as if it acts as a conduit to a distant place, the tiles come to life, IΒ see many faces, many scenes and when a good song comes on, a song that speaks to me, it amplifies my imagination. As for the spinning coins, I thought it would help me understand this imagery, I've been reading a lot on quantum theory, particularly a very interesting chapter on spinning coins, it spoke to me.
Thanks for your kind words and as for Jesus, I recommend a book called " the gospel of the second coming" by Tim Freke and Peter Gandy.Β
There are so many ways to find inspiration. This speaks of such inspirational insight into the mind which is Gerard. Supremely etched piece
