Depression often feels thick and dark, like the sludge of a tar pit
Today I hold myself up with sticks

As my flesh hangs

And my soul drips

In black pools

Floating on the dusty earth

Like oil spills in a Texas field

Dry breezes push sage brush lies

As the wind whips my flesh

Waving it like wet socks

Put out to dry in the great depression
