Prick
A little bit closer now, blood deep into disregard. Hands clasped, frozen. A gaze deep black, fixed.
False hope bends and laughs at my nature. A muse still, not ripened by age. It is just a little prick on the pulsating vein. A mimicking God of Suicide and squander. Trip steadfast into the abyss. Fill the remaining vile of days with radio waves, and long dead ghosts to ease the pain.
Omnipotent
I stretch my bones across canvas
to block the algorithm
I am never now
sped away to neon light
I know no animal
alive inside of the machine
Mortality
The days here are long and silent
Light immune to distinction
Death crawls dark between walls
Flies gather
Hours drip and attach to guilt
Fettered and unwavering
The death of night
air bends upon skin
Nudity pale
The earth wise and indifferent
Dogs at cold feet
They know no human frame
Death is a vacuum
Black sea
Insomnia
I do not exist
I have never existed
Though they say they know me
I was never here
blood rain
blue eyes
blue moonlight
The moth
The mouth
The bruise
Forever ticking clockwise
Segments
Scattered
Strange
Fractions of your smile
Every moment here
an effort to remain
Forgotten
Snake skin
Take
With two hands
All that is hollow
With acid rejection
Swallow the black
Reveal the void
Feel your soul sweat
Your pulse thicken
As your mind fractures
The sound of grace
Time matters of the mad
It was first the taste of tangerine
then cinnamon upon my tongue
the burn of nicotine and tequila
dog breath and bare feet
concrete heat
laughter between a page
thick splinters on a broken finger
Awake in a hand me down sweater
Playing Russian roulette
with black helicopters
iron strings that sting the tongue
whips and hot kisses
petty pricks an inch away
Nowhere is fast as nothing
Riddles reveal solitude
As a synapse fires and
slowly collapses on
pistol nightstands
made of splintered wood
Sunday and you set fire to time
dance on your grave at sunrise
no motion between emotion
forge a stone photo
fuck memory
Naked only to
recapture your heartbeat
phones ring in
empty rooms
with no answers
I️ follow fire trucks
with bare feet just
to catch a glimpse
of your death
Now a fraud in all future events
Hatred blasts
audible
sound waves
reverberations
nauseating
if lucky
we were
once a hero
to one another
That ring of keys
hang on an empty lock
Indifference
luxury
sharp fangs
that feel
helpless
venom
all the way
to the bank
Give freely
responsible gypsy
this planet now an
earthquake playground
fueled by fire and night
strong mind
body tight
drink
Look for you
until my eyes
turn black
walk with your
blood stained shirt
Touch the stains
while the world sleeps
You
underground
better in dreams
enough to wander
close enough to point
to this strange
map of time
Land lost
Feet slip on desert sand
start again
coffee and no nicotine
Record skips
Rewinds
Replays
Erases
Reality
untethered
fickle friends
grip cold sheets
flat alleys curl
against my soft body
a fly falls into a cold
cup of water
force a smile
Ruined and needed
dry lips and skin
sleep quick
mummified
good chance
that I am dead
In this world
no other me
Beneath
This truth
force a solid grin
as the world crumbles
from beneath my feet
stand with weak knees
Delusional contortionist
Painting walls neon white
Running over speed bumps
Hoping over scotch
remember
who we were
before we were
Gravity sweet friend
Hold me down
As I sleep
Never staying
Never straying
Never asking
simplicity
completely
complicated
Your laughter still
soft in my belly
and all that matters
is matter and time
and not even that
is enough to appease
the truth that you are dead.
Swing
My suitcase rattles
I walk fast
Heavy
Filled with bones and metal
Gold and Cowry shells
My heels grip
Legs shift
Hair to brush soft
the back of my ass
Moving with me
Pushing faster
Momentum of fate
To the playground
Bend my knee and swing higher
Point my toes to cut the wind
Anticipating the jump
Face first into the sandbox
Black hair tangles the wire
Nose breaks
Lips locked in iron
Memories shift to the taste
of blood and sand
Stitch Kitten
Reptile belly
on concrete
running
This is an equivalent
A solid equation
no wrong turn
no flat alley
burst into nowhere
rebuild
bend the fabric of time
with only mind
a mad and separate spirit
Remember
How you forget
Sirens
Close enough to care
grab them
cup the ear
they are there
These moments
lean North
killing sheep
with the open
palm of my hand
Heavy
with broken
white birds
smooth desert heat
taste of salt on skin
ocean closer now
Let the horse ride
wild
Let it save the mountain
with its crisp tips
Move in silence
As the wind slides
between your thighs
against hot rock
on dirt paths
Fists on metal
bones break for
this beautiful equation
Trample the masses
for one simple truth
Laughter
as they weep
steaming breath
beaten by honor
Form forgiveness
The path
Open
moving in pixels
of iridescent blue
Look down
crack cement
with my thoughts
blown
to bits by the chance
to know
truth
Mistakes demolished
The strong know
truth by
counting colors
Move tile and divide
Sleep to fractured noise
Blink and wait
Agent
knowledge
It will come stay
Eyes slit
heavy
hot blue flame
melt the seal
This day is
complete
Shake away
strangers
morph into
soft skin
flesh
gold with honor
soft brick
fixed under a long
black porch
an empty suitcase
cardboard box
pour gasoline
and wait
snap
and flick
the match
to burn away slowly
all notions of safety
be brave
then
walk fragile
and tall
into the fire.
