papercut autopsy.
Neatly written and fatal
Your notes hold more than I can
Words cut autopsies
First, pallor mortis
Pale blue skin, blue lips, blue days
Contagious cobalts
Then, algor mortis
Your coldness then had scared me
Now, frigid’s final
Last, rigor mortis
Could one heart still another
You‘ve laid mass worlds stiff
Just a funeral
Life’s library stuffed in wood
Cold skies, stiff and blue
time.
lugged across the windowsills of change
same spot, sweeping seasons, slipping me strange
gripping grass tufts till my fingers become dirt and hinge
i'll watch yellow weeds turn violet in rainy mid july
i'll watch the sky swim from navy to goldfish orange
i'll watch the ripples run and die
yet you'll watch me olden and whoop and weep
finding my ever-flitting keep
let me breathe here eternal, to try
and watch time laugh loud, as it strides by
devil’s spotify.
You've got devilishly awesome taste in music. In fact, it's really crossing a border; hell's border. Satan is supposed to take you into his humble abode and warm embrace, but the waiting room down there is a little full so he decides to offer you a too-good deal with the prize being a ticket straight to heaven. What horrible nail-scratchingly devious song would play in Hell's waiting room to really set the mood? You've got to really deserve the ticket- everyone has got to be writhing in agony.
weighted eaves.
cattails gossip 'round the lusty pond
red-winged blackbirds grasp
their curving claws into the tall grasses
the greens bow their tips into the dank soil
sinking and warping
struggling for summer sky
wings flutter blade to blade
searching
all i do is watch
and breathe it in
that stinking desperation
and an echo in their eyes
earth, do you hold me?
or am i sinking obliviously
on writhing lifelines
hounding flies and
seeking footing in these towering eaves
the weight of me is murderous
the size of me is piddling
wings flutter blade to blade
breathe it in.
summer rain.
The heat of summer days dies fast
Dew lingers here as sticky sweat
I watch the little boats sail past
The saccharine heat suffocates
Ravens haste by the prided sun
The heat of summer days dies fast
The frigid rain crashes and runs
Why didn’t I see the storms brew
My hands don't hold me as yours cast
The rain is choking down my throat
The heat of summer days dies fast
I miss the warmth of smiles now lost
There are new hues the rains revealed
I’ve learned to breathe without heats breath
The sweet smell of fresh pavement pealed
The heat of summer days dies fast
taraxacum tears.
Wandering the breezes
Lost in the cerulean
Blonde hair bed head sleaze
Sunbeam's spit spattered on green
I spill secrets with the wind
And swim with the tall grasses
Sleeping where life is skinned
Through the cracks and the brasses
Yellow tainted hands
Hand me to mother
Tooth-gap smiles and
a bouquet- make another
Blow me
Braid me
Brew me
Kill me
Now you grow to call me "weed"
A salute of the slums
Wild thug of the treed
A white picket criminal glum
I am the garden's villain
The sunny overkill
Living is my sin
Trespasser on the hill
Am I not enough
When did I become but a seed
You mow me out like scruff
I pray ask, do I not bleed
My white tears spill up to the blue
A forgotten flower by you

I'm an absolute music addict so there's no way I can have a singular favourite. Instead, I decided to choose a song from my fav album + singer!!
Brooklyn Baby - Lana Del Rey

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 1]
They say I'm too young to love you
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
The freedom land of the seventies
I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice, I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
Beat poetry on amphetamines
[Pre-Chorus]
I say
I say
[Chorus]
Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-ya-da
Pa-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 2]
They say I'm too young to love you
They say I'm too dumb to sing
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm free, ooh
I'm free
[Chorus]
Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Bridge]
I'm talking 'bout my generation
I'm talking 'bout my newer nation
And if you don't like it, you can beat it
Beat it, baby
You never liked the way I said it
If you don't get it, then forget
'Cause I don't have to fucking explain it
[Chorus]
And my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get high on hydroponic weed
And my jazz collection's rare
I get down to Beat poetry
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Post-Chorus]
Pa-da-pa-pa, pa-de-da
Te-de-de, da-da-ah
Ooh, oh, woah-ah
[Chorus]
Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool
But he's not as cool as me
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Outro]
Pa-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, baby
Ah-ta-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, baby
Pa-da-da-da-da-da
Pa-pa-da-pa-da, yeah
Yeah, yeah

sundeath.
the sun drowns into the horizon
I watch it bleed blood-orange
greedy and gripping to the day
against the gravity of celestial porridge
and banal boundless black
the sky weighs a blanket of stones
it's bruising into rotting blues
yet there is art in the aches
awe in the golden hour views
and ataraxia in the two-past-nines
we marvel at this
beguiling beauty
of bittersweet death
