Heroin. @ Deptford 2006

Annihilate me.

Numb my mind.

Fill my veins

with a smoke screen.

Drip Drip Drip feed me.

Let it slowly take me to a warm soft and silent place.

I do not recognise this hand.

My body was in pain. Now my mind is indifferent.

I do not care where I am. Abandon me here.

I am warm. I taste no tears. I feel no - I feel no -

I feel nothing. I am sinking into dark, dark velvet in silent ecstasy.

Outside has no meaning. Inside I am hollow.

My bones are soft.

All senses blurred.

I exist in tenebrous light.

Suspended, held in slow motion.

I do not recognise this hand.

Here in this impenetrable place, alone. I celebrate, looking with sleepy eyes through smoked glass

At last. I am at peace. I do not recognise these hands.
