Full moon
I looked on at the full moon tonight and sighed under breaths between car rides where I wore masks on masks
smiled through it
smiled through it

Quicksand
I bet you
spend all your time
on the rocks
and
you fall off trying
to do a handstand
and goddamn
the deficit
The attention seeking behavior -
Well,
I'd strongly advise
against it.
I bet you spend all your
time in the
quicksand
And you keep coming back
Wishful thinking
Mind your feet when you leave
It isnt easy to see
When you close your eyes while you're laughing that
You dove in
Willingly.

Dallas
I'm holding my own two sweaty
and shaking
hands
And they're together at last
My eyes are wide open as they were
And as they were in the cold and
unabashed darkness
My dreams prevailed from under
the blanket of a red laced and pretty
curtain of smoke
it was turning orange
It was a good sign that the leaves were
letting go.

reaching for what?
I am reaching
extending branches of olive
and palming my face
reaching for what?
Empty embraces.
Hugs and kisses
left
in waiting
extending branches of olive
and palming my face
reaching for what?
Empty embraces.
Hugs and kisses
left
in waiting

the pile/the pyre
Matchbox mantra
got me in a house of glass
Throwing stones at the birds
as they drone
and drone
They go by
Alfred Hitchcock
dark clouds in the sky
Looking like a bad night
For the bones
in my body to jump out
and dance around the fire
More meat for the pyre
And I want out right
Right
NOW
got me in a house of glass
Throwing stones at the birds
as they drone
and drone
They go by
Alfred Hitchcock
dark clouds in the sky
Looking like a bad night
For the bones
in my body to jump out
and dance around the fire
More meat for the pyre
And I want out right
Right
NOW

give a little bit
Old strangleholds
have holds on me
that no one seems
to clearly define
And so I'm sinking quietly into the darkness
of the
no-strings tirade, you see them writhe,
Their little
tentacle squad
and they pull me in
with their suction cupped
palms
Just shut me off with the valve
that you tore from my heart
release the switch
I think I've had about enough of
Your irrefutable
charm
in harms way
(Me)
Give a little bit
And find you're hanging by a thread. ...

Thorns
Thorns are in place
casually holding a
rose bush of pain to hold yourself over
The phones been ringing don't you know who it rung for?
Purplish smoke and
the leaves are letting go.
The winters biting at the heels of the
forget me nots
now.
Hopefully this'll all blow over
Hopefully vines will just grow over my mouth.

BABYLON
The only thing worth it's weight in stating
Is rubble reduced
Rubble reduced
Smash something.
The stake of a claim is rapidly accrued
When the bald faced and plain stating
Arguments.
They pile up
Into a mass grave
Nothing ensues.
This repeats without end
Until we're a little bit of dust
Of ash
Of nothing
Left
The candles wax
It doesn't burn
It clots up
Post-use

heavy
Just when you think that
things
can't get worse
You've been looking each
direction,
now you can't tell
what's north?
It's like being drawn by
horses now.
It don't even hurt.
All the pain has subsided
the problem was
it was
it wasn't
Luck
Just when you think that
you've been
handed enough
It don't measure
quite up, and
I've been
lassoing
stories again
Hurdling
towards forever
God I know
what this is.

Such a Ghost
I'm losing all hope
and I've lost my skeleton
Fingertips wrapped around
the fucking cartilage.
Anything else before I zone out again?
Didn't think so
Let me go
I'm such a ghost to them.
The rain will keep raining
its just what it does so
Don't be so worried about the weather anymore.
It's cold outside but it
really always is, though.
Got our winter jackets on but our hearts are still frozen stiff.

Clarity
Don't you think it could have mattered?
to someone?
If you're blind enough;
I bet you'll die
for them
Losing sleep to the thought
of the trees burning down
and raising you up
blanketing smoke
all around ya.
Would you say there's no point to this?!
With the kids holding hands
and fucking dancing around you?
Ooh;
you're so pompous
I bet you have your wits
all about ya.
Losing sleep to the grind
I bet you'd die for the cost
of the labor
caught
few...
to someone?

Niceties.
Neck-snapped niceties
foaming from the mouth on a Friday night
all alone
and again
There's clear witnesses to the
big car wreck but
nobodies talking anytime soon
No news is good news.
Nobody saw shit again
Arrest myself and go right back to bed.
A relationship seems so far fucking fetched
We're worried about this or that
with no end
to the end
of the
end of it
And we sit around and bitch together.
In fits
We much less deserve the time
we're entitled to
Hula...
