herod.

theres black dye on my white towels, and he nearly cracks my eyeliner pencil in half. when i turn my back to mirrors, his shoulders move in the glass, and his tattoos turn to scarred flesh as i turn to see myself again. he sits in my kitchen, lets izzy sharpie stars on his face, lets lazarus treat the lashes on his back. one has cut through the depeche mode lyric inked into him, never let me down again, a coverup for nicotine branded into him by a blackhair brother he loses more each day. despite everything, he returns more to himself as days go by, and i'll often hear him in the library humming some sort of tune. today, as i write, it's wasteland- never wrote him as a mission fan, but he moves away from his paperself minute by minute.

there are glances of the king, the omen breaking my door locks in its hurry to put me upstairs, accent stronger and metal plate visible through skin- stay ere with ya mouf shut and dontcha move til i get you- and carnie manifests cheerfully in the window to teach me to play cards until the clown returns.

the king and the prophet argue, and sometimes i hear your name. i forgot all my russian but carnage scratches his mask awkwardly as it comes from someones mouth, the omen's harsh grit colliding with the false blue's jetblackspit, dontfuckingargue modulated wretch of a voice that comes from his throat and transfers through an invisible gp5.

the very first time i heard the omen cry was pleading with the king.

ever hear something that closes your throat and sends you stonecoldsober, frozen in place?

that afternoon was rainy, nice; sat in the church with aggie reading their book and i idly fiddling with the rosary on their wrist. the king and prophet were having a quiet argument under the image of the crucified christ. best place to have it, i suppose, aggie grimaced at me.

it sounded like it was ending, and aggie had finished their chapter, and i was dozing in the chair, when the clear voice of a much younger curtis locked us up and held us frozen.

a single, agonised "please".

and we both look for the clown, but the only one there was the prophet stood small under christ, hands white on the king's shirt. a man like that; so apathetic, uncaring, sarcastic, gone- reduced to his 20year old self in voice and face begging his big brother for some sort of mercy or understanding. the harbinger of the rapture with his burnedout chest heaving with uncontrollable emotion.

and the shepherd comes to stand to witness in the doorway of his own church, orange dye bleeding into his face from the rain outside and the memory of the future seared, a purifying holy flame of recognition, into his wrists.

the king will call for sons to be sacrificed, and the shepherd guards the church of the Mother that he built with his hands. everyone has roles now, and someone has to be lamb- who better than the one who leads the flock?

the prophet, silent, warning, burns a future into everyones head. a single nail to bind aggie's scarred palm to mine, two more for the son of god on the cross. the understanding is that verne will take the weight of herod's royalty through his wrists. the cross is heavy on his back for the sins of his brothers. the omen cannot die, but will breathe through his throat again. the wound never healed. redpop will be martyred. saint sebastian. dont count the holes, you know the number. camilla, the sister, the mother, the child, the trinity, will live.

Rod Stewart: Sailing/Stone Cold Sober (45 vinyl, Warner Bros, 1975) ▪ ▪ Rod is going to be sailing on some stormy waters forever more given the condition of this 45. ▪ This copy was given to me by my dad. Although he fueled my love of music, encouraged me when studying music & then later audio engineering, his capacity to look after vinyl is questionable to say the least. ▪ Anyway I decided it's time to clean this up and give it a spin. Surprisingly it's not too bad sounding. Not great, but not bad. ▪ Taken from his sixth studio album: Atlantic Crossing, this double A-Side consists of "Sailing", one of his most popular songs, and "Stone Cold Sober", a firm rock favourite. ▪ This one's for you dad. ▪ ▪ #rodstewart #sailing #stonecoldsober #softrock #poprock #vinyl #record #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #vinylcollector #vinylycommunity #vinylcollection #lovevinyl #instavinyl #instamusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJQWFIJ7zH/?igshid=1l89amr6n2t52

Stone Cold Sober - Day 4

Realizations on Day 4:

Being sober for an extended period of time is like looking into a really bright light. You kind of want to squint your eyes all the time, and everything sort of feels a bit overwhelming. I think that is where the substance comes in to dull your senses. You literally are not used to feeling this much raw physical stimulation.

Nights are definitely the worst. I feel like I don’t know what to do between work and getting ready for sleep. My brain doesn’t want to go to sleep without something shutting it down.

I am really tired.

The thing is, I am not even a severe alcoholic. I am someone who has a drink or two regularly, and goes overboard when I go out on holidays or events. I don’t wake up thinking about alcohol or get plastered every night, but I definitely use it as a coping mechanism for stress and to turn my mind off.

One of my motivations for doing this was to get to know myself uninhibited. So, no more turning my brain off. If my brain wants to freak out about something, I am going to let it finally work through the situation.

I’m ready to feel good about being sober.

Stone Cold Sober - Day 2

I have been thinking a lot about this the past two days, and I decided to go through with it. I am attempting to live every day of 2020 stone cold sober. Many factors have led to this, but I think the biggest one is that I want to get to know myself. I spent NYE way too drunk, and I just don't enjoy it. I hate being drunk. I hate that I was sick all day yesterday. I have a 2 year old. I don't want her to remember me like that. I am ashamed, and I don't want to be. It would be one thing if I was someone who enjoys drinking, but I really really do not. I honestly have no clue why I do it - although I could probably dive deep into that little psyche to find out, I will save that for a stronger future me.

So here I am. In 2020, I am only going to do things that make me truly happy, and I am not going to let alcohol play a part in ruining that. I am happy when I spend time with my family. I am happy when I create. I am happy when I succeed. I am happy when I am healthy. Alcohol simply doesn't have a place anywhere in there.

To be clear, I do not look down on those who enjoy drinking responsibly. I wish I had that control. The strongest decision I can make for myself is to accept that I do not have that control once I start drinking, so I need to maintain it with a strong sober will. I want to enjoy holidays and parties and nights out, not lose them to blacking out from too much wine. I want to be a more present person, and alcohol simply needs to get out of the way for me to do that.

I am going to cut back on other stimulants as well, to draw my focus back into my present self rather than always pushing for something else. I might try substituting tea for coffee. I will continue to take my anti-depressant for now. Reaching a calm balance in my mental health is the ultimate goal.

Day 2 of being SCS feels empowering. It feels good.
