the other night I dreamt my way into a dark city
where I lost everything I looked for
traveled on the outskirts of buildings
jumped fire escapes
ran into a man
covered in blood
shooting up

I ran
he followed

he caught me
he held me down and he shot me up
he bled his blood on me
he put his poison in me 

I woke up despairing for myself
heroin
and him
heroin
