house of open yearnings
It creeps up on you, this soft decay. On Tuesdays the words get caught in the dream catchers. My bedroom a litany of strange music and moans. A woman crooning from the Victrola and voices carrying through the wallpaper. Despite everything, there is always ache. All hanging lights and star charts. My mother's face haloed and strange as she reaches to turn out the lamp. We huddle under blankets while the ice thaws in my father's whiskey. Vats of face cream like canopic jars and limbs of broken mannequins bending towards the light. All the brass keys lost in my body's curves and folds, the vacuum bags choked with ash. How lovely I sat in the longing while crosses dangled from my ears and the blinds choked out all the light. I'll remember the moans and Marlboros at your lips, Sister's endless collecting, the wooden trays dripping with candle wax and porcelain birds. The terrible terrible pink hearts of their mouths.

Immersion
It's early and
I'm not fully awake.
Bleary-eyed,
I slide
d
o
w
n
and let my feet
penetrate the
fragmented,
rippling,
variegated surface.
At once
at home here,
I let the water
awaken my body
as it begins to move
in the rhythm
it knows so well.
Delving into the depths,
I discover
a cool, quiet world.
It's just me
and the water.
Time slows down and
responsibilities drop away.
My mind relaxes as
there's nothing to think about
but the arc of my arm,
the cadence of my kick,
the angle of my pinkie finger
as it slices and curves
without splashing.

What is badness demon tactics
fear and screams laughter in Hell turn Heaven into tears sadness pain
the smell of blood shake the earth walk with death desolate Caribbean soul
Ten rounds man down what do evil? when mother's affection is no more
when gun pebble hotter than fresh brimstone on demand
boredom and provocation idle hands in darkness and depression
the compelling voice of my tranquil soul ready for genocide war and fun
left alone to fester in rejection and hatred to master the devils lectures
a lifetime of black manhood classes it's not me it's always fucking me
to put my thought at ease the blood of my enemies at the tip of my cutting edge
to breathe your last breath and exhale peace of mind before you leave this place
sip my coffee black no milk no sweet just weed and cocaine
time to drink spirits no chaser as I find my idle hands more murder to repeat
Taurus blood the most peaceful fury infiltrate feed and eliminate everything
Heaven passport grave tickets tokens to the underworld complimentary rides to Hell
I beseech myself to run from me and don't trip consumed in total darkness already
who gives a fuck when nothing matters and never felt like it has to anyone just me
let the living dead join the dead for there is no christ in you to rise headless carcass
no war just killing for making innocent victims and victims dead all the same
2023 fuck the fryer and the flame you can't jump if your dead and you know it
slew them physically spiritually and in-between merciless beings without spirit

Let us find you something uglier than monsters in the depths if Hell
earth's core or under your bed my friend
fairytales are for babies and children I am here
like a cardiac arrest when we touch down
as a hundred legion's descend from above I don't give a fuck
rest my nozzle upon your chest plate then we pless play
brimstone on demand pebble don't miss headspace dismiss
here again my friend let's play don't study where here is
I am here like the vengeance of God upon all existence
you are my main focus as bad brings worse welcome
like a woman's scorn to your own nightmare Karma on pms
with the universe at our disposal It's not a competition
everyone else has already lost and now I am always with you.

Astral Shores beyond the second Sun
Moon and sun merge
To relieve the sleeping night
lean Nomads wander astral shores
Where black diamond tides
Mirror the stars lost under the second sun
Time slows the dawn
Time slows the dusk
Long enough to feel
The movement of the earth
