And Lucidity Follows

body: swollen, sore 
surroundings chaotic                       
objects strewn on floor             
mind cluttered; (psychotic?)           
struggling to recall                          
examining an eye: contused.            
bruised; bemused.                            
What for?  
                                                                 
more importantly: how?                    
and where has memory crept?     
ashamed of itself, no doubt.               
from what ledge recollection leapt?      
desperation driven                                
despair propelled                                
my unwashed fear it smelled                 "
"Never going back" I vow.
