Too Much
I am waist high
in wanting what
I cannot have.
I am on the verge.
I am on the edge of
something terrifying.
I have been locked
out of my own mind.
I'm unable to decide.
A different muscle is
wearing the pants now.
I want to sink into
warm bath water.
I want it to cover
my eyes nose ears.
I could drown,
but I won't.
My heart wants too much.
Soul Fillet
I study the fingerprints as a profession. Nothing so calculating as an FBI analyst, but as blueprints of the soul. They form in the first weeks of life, womb-side. Never change. Scrape them, scar them, liquify them, they come back screaming the same things. Healer. Artist. Professional Victim.
Enlightenment scored on flesh for all time. Every secret on display for a reader to interpret. Entire swathes of you laid bare, ready for the curtain to go up and reveal your naked truths. It rolls on.
I knew the body had to have a secret legend. There, one day, on the edge of the world, looking at my hands, muttering, "I know the answer is here somewhere." Can't look away, won't. These endless lines, a play dissected and flung across flesh, daring me to reassemble them into an arc without breaks.
Holy, sweet, selfish skin, self-perpetuating feedback loop that amnesia cleverly disguised. This endless landscape of freedom to become, to remember and give thanks for all the wisdom, misery, loneliness and compassion living beneath the lines.
These tiny worlds, whorls and galaxies spinning out from extremity to extremity, all the way to toes, which have them too. They have them too.
Haunted House
The place reeked
of moth balls, of old
ways to get rid of old
problems, remedies
that never worked,
it smelled of dead
things, of musk from
pretty garbage piled
high on walls and left
to degenerate, left for
time to disintegrate,
left from shopping
trips that failed to
kill the sorrow, long
lost pets rotted into
the carpet, trapped
where they couldn’t
get out, a cat’s bones
lodged in the chimney
desperate to breathe
air, the ghosts there
discontent, phantoms
of what once was
living alongside the
dead, a home that had
its day and now with
a groan it saw what
it had made and was
dissatisfied, saw the
children raised in
halls not so hallowed
and remembered the
slapping was louder
than the kissing, than
the laughter and the
lovemaking, tainted
memories seep into
the ceiling, the floor,
the roof-tiles so they
can’t reach heaven,
can’t be cleansed,
sinking into the ground
as the foundation
gives way, wondering
if it hadn’t been a
little crooked all
along.
I’m just so easy to laugh.. I hope you are too >.<

Storm Before the Calm
Did I lock the front door
Is the A/C set to the right temperature
My lips are so chapped but I don't feel
like getting up for my chapstick
Calm down mind - I need sleep
I wonder how many times
I will toss and turn until my brain shuts off
Oh that was a good thought for a poem
hope I remember it in the morning
Maiden Race
A jockey finishes his training and finally makes the weight loss he needs to enter a new filly in her first maiden event. It's a flat 5 furlong event on grass and the going is good to firm.
They line up for the start and the huge crowd are shouting encouragement for their favourites, the starter sets them off and they gallop away at good speed.
The lad is pleased with his position mid field and the filly settles into the event with a steady pace, suddenly from somewhere in the crowd a jar of pickles is thrown and hits the young jockey full in the face, as it hits him it smashes and covers him in pickles and he loses ground.
Determined to regain his position, he recovers composure and urges his filly to greater efforts. As they pass the first furlong someone hurls a plate of sandwiches at him which hit him in the chest, again hindering his progress. Undeterred, he again settles down to his work as his horse starts to gain ground.
They pass the second furlong marker and a fillet of salmon is launched at him from the roaring spectators which wraps itself around his reins and again he loses ground. Valiantly he refuses to give in and urges the filly to greater efforts.
He makes good progress and makes up several places until at last they approach the finish when without warning an assortment of fruit is launched at his horse which distracts it badly and it falls to last position at the post.
After the race, the horses owner calls him over to explain his poor performance,
"I just can't explain it" he stammers, "I was hampered".
Every Time You Say Hello
Pride, love, pain
you kill me a little bit
every time you say hello
i’m so tired of this wicked kill
slowly, so slowly
I know better.
life with you is life without you
I know the quiet times well, the moments so pristine
I know your breath, the pauses in between
I know what’s underneath
I love your core, I love you
naked in my bed
I loved
every raw moment
I loved it all
Life’s so short and everyone asks
just what exactly am I doing these days
you’ve worn me,
worn me out
