C17H27NO2 HCl


I had Captain Crunch
on the morning I died.

There was a bitter
almond aftertaste
that lingered
in the sweet milk residue.

Internalizing the fear –

the black shadow –

clutching at my throat
and scrambling for grey skies.

The air is airless –

counter-clockwise memory
on the inside
in the onslaught.

Contrary to popular belief

it does not cut
the roof of your mouth.
