Surgical hose pulled tight
Vein tempting poison’s delight
Eyes fading into the shadows
Ecstasy found in oblivion
Pain censored a mind grown numb
Crashing from the spell
Reality’s hell
Liberating anguish
Addiction’s darkness revealed
A living death
An endless cycle
Spiraling ever downward
Invisible to the world
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
