opiod by Angela Thomasthere's nothing left but pain and a body
that used to house memories and laughter,
friends and parties. i applied an opiod
patch to her skin, latex green fingers
sticking to the medication coated
plastic in the process, careful not
to touch it myself. side effect: death.
then i handed her a different kind
of shot glass. one with a little white
pill that's seven times the strength
of morphine, so powerful many
pharmacies refuse to carry it. nothing
left to do, but let it ride, enjoy the ride,
put down control and let god in. time to go. 03/15/2010 Posted on 03/16/2010 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
