"Don't Fall"
He says
"Don't fall in love with me
Because I don't think I can
Love you back"
Fair enough.
But there's so much more
Love is not what I need
What I need
What I want
Is of a different color than love
I hunger for his words
Lengthy stories sewn together
With wild gestures and fantastical imagery
Places I've never seen, touched, or breathed in
But can somehow fathom details
Understanding the twists and turns
Nodding
Smiling
As the story unfolds
I find myself engrossed in his words
Wanting to absorb every...

"2 Fingers"
They scramble
Almost in a mad hurry
To send me their photos
Grainy images of genitals
Penises, cocks, dicks
Dangling testicles, balls, nuts
Showing off their hairy bellies
Manly navels, encircled with fur
Strong thighs and tight cheeks
Full lips framed by chiseled jaw lines
Oh, no but not him
There's no need for all that show
No, he sends me one image
A clear image of his hand, drawn
Pointer and middle finger untucked
Thumb unfolded
Long fingers of his tanned hardworking hands
Strong, skilled fingertips
Because that is...
Almost in a mad hurry
To send me their photos
Grainy images of genitals
Penises, cocks, dicks
Dangling testicles, balls, nuts
Showing off their hairy bellies
Manly navels, encircled with fur
Strong thighs and tight cheeks
Full lips framed by chiseled jaw lines
Oh, no but not him
There's no need for all that show
No, he sends me one image
A clear image of his hand, drawn

Strong, skilled fingertips

Stitches
Stitches”
I’ve bled enough
For you
I’m stitching up
My wounds
I’m looking for someone
Who isn’t so thirsty
Who will let me heal
And will love me
Despite my scars
I’ve bled enough
For you
I’m stitching up
My wounds
I’m looking for someone
Who isn’t so thirsty
Who will let me heal
And will love me
Despite my scars

They Come Out Of TheWoodwork
They Come Out Of The Woodwork”
Drawn to my weakness
A doubt instilled
Rooted so deep
I fight off the wolves
While I sleep
Around my bed, they creep
Choreographed in their movements
Their paws barely touch the floor
The wolves encircle me
They gather, coming from
The dark woods
They hold out their paws
They want their dues
Cunning, deceitful
Calculating just what they need
What it will take for me to fall
So they can devour me
...

The Face In The Mirror
The Face In The Mirror”
Be careful
Who you call ‘friend’
Some are out
For what you have
Circling like wolves
Around their prey
Waiting for what
You will get
They’ll have their hand out
Reminding you
What all they have done
To get you there
That is their way
Keep your head down
Don’t make eye contact
Stay solitary
Ever so clever you are
Trusting the face
In the mirror
Be careful
Who you call ‘friend’
Some are out
For what you have
Circling like wolves
Around their prey
Waiting for what
You will get
They’ll have their hand out
Reminding you
What all they have done
To get you there
That is their way
Keep your head down
Don’t make eye contact
Stay solitary
Ever so clever you are
Trusting the face
In the mirror

I Cast Six
I Cast Six”
I cast six
You can’t contain it
I swallow bullets
Meant for the angels
Blood drips
From my fingertips
I cast six
You can’t contain
The toxicity of the sweat
On my brow
I swallow bullets
Meant for the angels
I cast six
You can’t contain it
I swallow bullets
Meant for the angels
Blood drips
From my fingertips
I cast six
You can’t contain
The toxicity of the sweat
On my brow
I swallow bullets
Meant for the angels

A Pile Of Shit
A Pile of Shit”
Peel away my skin
What will you get?
Bones, meat, fat
And a pile of shit
Peel away my skin
What will you get?
Bones, meat, fat
And a pile of shit

"Foreigner"
"Foreigner"
I watch you read
Stumble through words
You barely know
Innocence
You haven't been corrupted
By our ways yet
You look
Intelligent
Brave
Warm
And I believe you are
Foreigner
Stay that way
Innocence
Looks good on you
I watch you read
Stumble through words
You barely know
Innocence
You haven't been corrupted
By our ways yet
You look
Intelligent
Brave
Warm
And I believe you are
Foreigner
Stay that way
Innocence
Looks good on you

"Warmed Over"
Warmed Over”
They stare at me
Watch me walk by
They know I’m different
My rhythm is unsteady
I’m not as confident
As the undead
Sitting on the wall
Looking down
Storefronts go dark
Before I can reach
The windows to shop
My shoulders are slumped
And uneven
I keep my head down
But I can feel their eyes
Follow me
As I skip over the cracks
In the sidewalk
The bodies mumble
As I stumble past
Their language
I do not recognize
They stare at me
Watch me walk by
They know I’m different
My rhythm is unsteady
I’m not as confident
As the undead
Sitting on the wall
Looking down
Storefronts go dark
Before I can reach
The windows to shop
My shoulders are slumped
And uneven
I keep my head down
But I can feel their eyes
Follow me
As I skip over the cracks
In the sidewalk
The bodies mumble
As I stumble past
Their language
I do not recognize

"They Keep Me In The Dark"
They Keep Me In The Dark”
They surround the bed
Running their fingers
Lightly down my curved spine
Reading my dreams
Implanting verse
Bonethrower advises against
Won’t read the stones
Says the shadows
Know damn well
What’s going on
Her candles won’t burn
Around me
They watch me as I sleep
Whispering
In my deaf ear
I can feel their cold breath
They hide within the darkness
Of my blind eye
I can feel them brush against
My arm
They keep me in the dark
They surround the bed
Running their fingers
Lightly down my curved spine
Reading my dreams
Implanting verse
Bonethrower advises against
Won’t read the stones
Says the shadows
Know damn well
What’s going on
Her candles won’t burn
Around me
They watch me as I sleep
Whispering
In my deaf ear
I can feel their cold breath
They hide within the darkness
Of my blind eye
I can feel them brush against
My arm
They keep me in the dark

"Malachi"
"Malachi"
Broken glass on floor
Six shadows in the hallway
Where is Malachi?
Broken glass on floor
Six shadows in the hallway

"Acidic"
"Acidic"
Building castles in the sky
To hide my truths in
Lock up all the devastation
Hoping I can just walk away
...But I can't
Your kisses burn my skin
Acidic like battery guts
Blisters on my fingers
From touching your lips
My crown of metal shards
Digs into my scalp
Blood runs down my face
And stains my hair red
The gun I hold to my head
Is beautiful, shiny metal
Reflective in the blinding sunlight
Like my tin-foil eyes
My trigger finger wrapped in the lace
Given to me by a young...
