Question - Lots of interviews, No offers, LPN

Hello!

I moved from down south a few months ago and I'm having a hard time getting offers for jobs currently. I have about 5yrs experience in various environments and have a big concern for safe job conditions, which I hear is better here.

Any advice?

I II

In and out of black wave hues,

  no hope for it to be the last light 

It's far from it.

  The lights dot in stars above,

even Mars can shine bright in a never ending night.

  So do the waves break against brick walls, letters hanging from its edge: 

"W E A R H O U S E

                 D I S T R "

The last two letters fell off, and mortar slips out its cracks, bleeding. Hurting.

  so was the thrumming of over head powerlines, contorted, thick, and packed tightly. 

Jostling meant its coming, again, yet again.

  But no where near the end. 

To which I tread, do I leave my own ripples.

  A buzzing comes nearer. 

And I see over.

  A face, white, poreless, pure, a young man, a grin rested on closed lips. Hair dark and misty. 

Peering out at me from behind the branches of a nearby tree.

  There's something wrong with his neck,

His body is elevated, dangling,

  limbs elongated.

Raised by intestines that pour out from his bowels,

  acting as its advocate, 

through a broken pelvis.

  Sanking through branches, even more of its form, becomes apparent. 

We all know the buzzing, and we all hate it, a swat at it.

  Just over the shoulder, across his back, 

                                 bites 
                                       bites
                                 bites  

 papules sprout      bloody mosquito wings     that stretch high      unending 

                     And  its  thrumming  humming   rippling .  

                          Mimicking  what  calls  us  all , 
 
                             to  a  river's  forefall .

And they'd say,

only the women bite.

                            They've never come down here 


                    to where the storms don't care about the before .

We're stuck in the whirl.

  And the smell makes me want to hurl. 

A grin elongates, a jaw unhinges, and a tendril barbed at the end, looks for a new friend.

  I wont be saved by road rage,

The water is already taking me, bit by bit -

  I leave a trail behind me, nice and bloody.

For once I prayed, deep inside, as I run and hide-

  - That'd caterpillar I so despise - 

- would come find me.

  So it might take my place, instead. 

Maybe then it'd be dead.

  But there is no hope or dream that comes up from that stream,

For all rivers lead somewhere

  It flows not matter who cares or not 

My heels exposed skin get me running again,

  as a splinter hits my shoulder

and I crawl into a corner, the waters submerging my body more

  To stay cold 

As its body crawls along bleeding brick and wood.

   Tasting for once where I was.
