I just want swim until death takes me.
In the seas of forgetfulness.
Subsumed beneath the waves.
Adrift in a current.
That moves forward.
While I'm left behind.
Cushioned in my isolation.

Love?
No.

Silence
And
Avoidance.

Somewhere
Else-
Is always,
Better
Than where-
I am.
Nolan Bucsis May 13
My blood is coursing through
My body with suicidal depression.
I don't want to see the unravelling of the rope of
Being correct.
Or wallow in the satisfaction
That I got it right the whole time.

Redemption isn't satisfying.
Neither is being right.
I am not a phoenix rising out of ashes.
I'm an aghori, drunkenly asleep
In the funeral ash of a widow fire.

I want to dissolve in
My boredom
And be made to have no history.

God, wipe me from existence.

I want to be abnegated
Not vindicated.
Nor validated for anything I do.

I don't publicise my morality.
I don't look for congratulations
For things most people should recognize as good.

I cannot adjust to the perpetual minor inconveniences of reality.
Even though I resolved not to die
By my hand.

I still feel the same.

Alive because I am not allowed to die yet.
Condemned to eternal boredom.
Unable to sleep.

I wish God would have asked me whether
I wanted to hear his voice.
I prayed for annihilation and dissolving into death.
Not some mission reflected in the actions
And words
Of other people.

Nolan writ large with his own enormous opinions,
My disproportionate influence
Encoded in the words of other people
Eerily exactly, what I elucidate.

God, stop thinking that if I see
The effect I had on other people
I'd be ok with being and time.

I'm not.
Ok.
With existing.

I want to disappear and live in the utopia
Of never have begun
And nothing will change my mind.

Such a waste of time.

Being anointed.
Being a prophet.
Being alive.

Being in general.

Fair Weather Friends.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 13
Who were you that whisked yourself.
Away from my poor circumstances.
So you didn't have to watch me.
Fall apart.

At least.
I guess.  T
That's what.
You told yourself.

And,
me.

I don't mind.

Everyone is temporary.
A single serving something or other.
That I talked to a while.

But,
Got too involved in the fantasy.
Of what I could be.

I have nothing.
To prove to you.
Nothing to teach.

So waft away like a breeze.
Floatsam hovering in a cyclone.
Disappear into the horizon.
As the darkness envelops a kaleidoscopic sunset..

Sad I wouldn't do what you wanted me to do.

As precise as it was in your head.

This is my ode.
To my disposable.
Nature.

And the comfort.
In giving up.

Every hope I had for a future.
More meaningful.
Than just dying tomorrow.
Has disappeared.
And, now I like to stare.
At that liminal state before death.
That spot.
Somewhere far away.
Distant.
Like my gaze.
Trying not to get stuck in the.
Tomorrow.
That's no longer there.
Nolan Bucsis May 9
The words don't form in my head like they used to.

There's nothing lucid anymore.
Nothing eloquent.

Just half aborted thoughts.
Too ugly to be born.
A constant stream of non sequiturs.

Frustration.
Intermingled with the constant state of depression.
A sad sorry excuse for a human being.
Little old misanthropic me.


Resigned to obfuscated imagery.
To broken thoughts.
To feeble ideas.
To the self loathing negative confirmation bias.
To the absolute state of my mind.

Blasphemy
Nolan Bucsis May 13
I will resurrect.
Every dead thing

And go mad with the

Everything seems so.
Pointless.
A burden I'm putting off.
Doing.
There is no catharsis.
From this omnipotent overwhelming feeling.
That I'm doing something wrong.
Just marinating in the stew.
Of one more bad day.
Til this depression wears off.
Perpetually.

Self Perception
Nolan Bucsis May 30
I am awash
In self doubt.
Every, thought,
Frac/tured.
Half of me remembers
How bad things were,
Compared to now.
But I stopped
Growing past the burden
Of critical self analysis.

So,
I drown myself
In the apathy
Of I don't care,
Or I don't care,
as much.

I'm used to being a failure.

Fermentation
Nolan Bucsis May 24
Everything is an epitaph
A requiem for my life.

I lay in bed like one corpse
In particular
But, I can't quite get it right.

I lay there being Che on a gurney
His arms limp by his side.
His eyes agape at nothingness
Cause his brains were blown out.

You only got the profile shot.
His good side with no abhorrent holes.

I sit
moribund in my bed
Unable to sleep with light shining
Out of my eyelids.

Me, a snapshot of death.

A soul turning black with pooling spiritual blood.
Bloating and sloughing off
Pretending to be dead.

I just wish it were real,
The annulment of Nolan Bucsis
Forever stuck a corpse in a bed.

Until the rot wafts into the nose of a passer by
And they find me in the ichor
Of blackened blood caked on my linoleum.

I'm staring into that hole I see in reality.
I'm vacant.
Hopeless.
My mouth agape.
My eyes.
Fixated on that distant nihilism.
At the end of the Apocalypse.
A cataclysmic crescendo replaced with the absence, filled with I and other Sons of Perdition.
Wiped off your feet.
Like so much.
Random dust.

Profound.
At the end.

But all there is.

It never really mattered.
Either way.
All there is is emptiness.
And that wretched.
Inner voice.
Just.
Repeating itself.

Shrouded in the darkness of another.
Anonymous night.
Eternal dark, obsidian dawn.
I creep through the brushes and reeds.
To the sacrificial mount.
That the spirits told me were there.
The impulse of an evil God of hidden.
Places.

And,
These delusions can be made poignant.
With good enough prose or ritual poetry.
As my offering of tobacco is accepted.
My austerity of poverty and insanity, reinforced.
I do the dance that comes to mind.
Flaring out my peacoat.
In raven's dance.

I walk the earth with bare clad feet.
As the dirt embeds into my sole.
I become the black foot.
Pale skinny
Satan
Opposer.
The Gaelic gaoler of lost souls.
Wirey, taught, and high tension.

The one who said no.
I'd rather go it alone like Esau Lord.
Find my way in the wilderness.
Castigate the humans.
Too proud to bend the knee.
To an abysmal race bereft of creativity.
I bring nothing.
For you.

And, I illumine you.
I cast my own shadow on the wall.
The light shines out of me.
Into.
The truth in disgust.
The beauty in filth.
The righteousness in rebellion.
I die on every hill.
Kamikaze existential destroyer.

Clad in taboo things.
Dripping in the disgust.
Of the unclean.

I am a beast.

I am filth.

I am a warning.

Don't get too close.
I ******* bite.

Love.
What was love to me.
Other than someone.
I could throw away.
And,
did.

Babe.

I can't care anymore.
Your absence isn't important.
Your presence was a bit of a.
Burden.

You're just here.
Now.
Perpetually leaving cause.
I can't think about tomorrow.
Or where you'll be.

After.
I leave.

Nothing in me yearns.
For another person.
More than a single night.

My schizoid salvation in.
Right now is
never lonely.
It's poignant.

Love?
I don't know that.

Whispers old women tell to children.

Passing the time.
From here to then.
In a miserable way.
Sublimated into a dream.
Perpetually unconscious.
Nolan Bucsis Mar 13
I think fondly.
About the end.
Of death.

No more depression.
No more thoughts.
No more failures to be ashamed of.

A still peaceful calm.
That I won't experience.

No loss.
No wants.
No screaming at the sun for everything to stop.
No fear.
No disappointment.
No wondering why.
No socialising.
No self doubt.
No never eating.

And all these addictions.
Will just end.

No one to let me down.
No more discomfort.
No wasting idle time.

I will be and recede.
Into the nothingness I crave.

An eternal dreamless sleep.

Its heaven really.

They.
Ruined everything.
As I try to recede.
Into afterthoughts that aren't.
Even there anymore.

No one killed my life.
It just lost its breath.
And everyone who sang that song.
Just became.
Silent.

So now I exist.
As a relic.
Sticking out.
Of the banal.
As an abomination.
Strange and unique.

Wanna watch me immolate?
Explode into infuriating?
Get arrested?
Stomp out my defiance?

And brag.
That you killed that fresh.
Meat.

In some indiscernible.
Former life.

I don't feel confident enough.
To do anything.
But, get stuck in the static.
And nostalgia.
Of a song I like.

From.
Long ago.

No more life.
No more.

I just want to recede.
Into the roof of my closed eyes.

Remember I was young and idealistic.
Once.

Some time ago.
In this metered rhythm.

Hitchhiking
Nolan Bucsis May 10
The hole inside me metastasises into an abyss.
Depression, pulling me in like a gravitational wave.
I am fractal self symmetry
In liminal time.
Crystalline structural regret.
A lattice net of nihilism.
My empty empathy.

I am the metaphysics of melancholy.
The sacred geometry of sad.

That constant self doubt
Burying itself into my fermented mind.
Embarrasses me with reflections of my true self.
The colour spectrum of listlessness
Depression in poly-chrome
Anxious in stereo.

I want to leave wherever I am
In right now.
I want to run until my feet are ground into ****** deformed stubs
As one more blood sacrifice of self inflicted wounds.
I want to flee from the routine of this place into
Another lonely run down town,
Covered in dismal dust.
An oddly familiar place
I hope I get used to.
Before I leave again.

If I run from my memory
With tickets made of drugs.
I won't have to face another disappointment.
Another bad choice.
If I perpetually construct my life
With new place names
New hidden places
And new roads signs.
All leading to maladaptive coping mechanisms.

The paths always lead nowhere
Paved with the regret of missed opportunity.
I hear that faint spectral call of the horizon
And I cry about the setting of the sun
From the perspective of, another, brighter place.

As for promises
To say goodbye.
I make none
And just fade away into the ambience in the background
White noise of passing cars on the highway.
Another couple feet treading a path
Through temporary homes.

I don't remember ever having a future.
That went beyond how high can I get today.
With the poverty drawn in my ***** clothes.
On those lazy hazy sunny days I just wanted to stop.
I can't recall thinking past right now.

I wasn't supposed.
To live this long.
I was supposed to die in my own personal catastrophe.
My own holy explosion.
Found in the gutter.
Face down.

It was some subtle suicide.
That only my lucky friends managed.
To do.

There's never been anything out here.
Nothing but the barking of coyotes.
Grass green, moss painted rocks, and spear grass.
Crickets singing you to sleep.
In the abysmal doldrums.
In.
The heart of the prairie.

We just.
Die.
And in our death.
Fulfill our destiny
There's nothing out here.
Just dying slowly.
And.
Self immolation.

These purile placid waters.
Are dreary, dull, and depressing.
Rhythmically lapping against my barren shore.
The obligations of my regular raucus routine
Are unsatisfying
As the still waters linger in staid stagnation.
The excitement.
Evaporated.


These calm terse trade winds
Don't have much to seeemingly say.
Festering in this standing water
The pent up pinnacle of radical resignation.
To this biohazard of my life
Where the smell
Is as pungent.
As the mildew makes me mouldy.

The cascade of pent up emotion and energy.
Cusps over the pinnacle.
As the friction from the frozen emotions.
Deigns to break the dam.
Of the calm.

This is discouraging.
Dreary dismal boredom.
I crave excitement.
Bustling life and algae blooms.
The uncertainty of getting lost in the frantic energy of entropic disorder
The irregular arrangement of intrinsic energy and form.
Entices me with promises of
A sudden subliminal bursting
Forth from the chaos of life.
Into my own subjective sonnet of
Kamikaze choreography.
Music dripping with ******.
Kaleidoscopic cacophony.
The dischordant choir.
Singing the sanctified song of self sundering.

I pray

For Dionysian ecstasy.
The feeling of flying without wings
Light headed and lit like a sentry on the horizon
Dizzy on the dangerous down ***** drugs.
Weaving in and out of reality.
A phantom pharmacological pyre burning with spontaneous combustion.
I want the frantic fury of a fragile furious fiasco.
I want the sublimation of the self as a Saiva sadhu
Avatara of too much stimulation.
A caffeinated catastrophe.

The raucus road of righteous rage.
Leads to squander and squalor.
To trauma and decay.
It all leads to death.
Funneling me into
Minutes away from the 2 seconds too short.
Accidental overdose on purpose
Apathy announcing my altered state
I made a deal with the devil and the payment's due.
The deflation of failure.

The pain calms me down.

I'm living in that
One overgrown pauper's grave.
Where
Even beautiful boughs of begonias.
Dry up into dust.
Passion won't push me through.
This sudden mood swing.

So.
I keep at the Apollonian ordering of chaos and revel in the frustration of simple.
Altering this abject asymetry of forms into Euclidean geometry.
Predictable boundaries for
Classifying this chaotic confusion
This scatterbrain lawless lolly gagging
Into something sensible.
Something, coherent.
Rational.

Order.

And I'm less inspired.
More frustrated that I have to
Wade
Through all this linguistic graffiti.
Sprayed haphazardly across my neurosis.
Feeling the frustration of
The energetic editing that edifies
My fragile ego.

But I'm a husk of an interesting person.
My addendum is short, curt,
And concise.
I'm more genuine when I'm blunt.
More authentic when I'm apathetic.

As usual though.
I
Failed
At being anything.
Other than confusing.
Seemingly desperate.

I'm always.
Giving up.
Annihilation natters at my mind.
It bores into my skull.
That familiar earwig.
Lying about its nature.
A disappointment to fear.

Potential is better than failure.
Who I could be would be anything
Other than what I am.
A failed dream.
Like my unfinished books.
Like my drug induced amnesia.
Like all those missed opportunities.
All those possibilities slipping through my hands.
Each fantastic potentiality getting more and more.
Uncertain.

I start off strong
Then taper out into.

Unfulfilling.
Low energy.
Dysjointed from reality.
Forcing myself to review my past.
In these irregular self criticisms.
Longing for meaning in whatever I throw against the wall.

Afterall.
I understand my own glossolalia.

The walls of my life are falling apart.
Into the rubble of pathetic despair.

My body starts to fail.
Again.
******* away each fragile opportunity.
Until there were none left.

It gets hard to enjoy things.
When everything gets worse.
My hermit hiki ko mori stasis.
My isolation in my room.
Poignantly hits me.

And,
I am strange and unusual.
Poorly worded

Loneliness is a temporary thing.

Stuck in a hope
That it'll be ok.

But I can't find the motivation
To try anything different
Than sleeping it off.

If I wasted my life

To stay
Awake.

Practising being dead
One absent unconsciousness
After the other.

The first time I smelled the
Pang of death,
It took my breath away,
Stole it,
Befouled it,
Tainted my living flesh
With rigor mortis,
And the certainty of lungs.

Wafting out a
Lounging acrid bitter spasm
As I scrape the corpse
Of the coyote,
Off the highway
Into a garbage bag,
Limbs agape and asymmetrically bound,
In place.

Undertakers don't make coffins
For road ****,
And,
I unceremoniously dump them into
The trash.

Life is a reflection of death,
No one knows you passed on
Til someone tells someone else
So if I keep it to myself,
No one will know.

Till that bitter offal odour
Floats out my door
And,
Takes someone's breath away.
