Cold nights
Spent without you
Wondering how you’re doing,
My past flame, my lost Xanadu
I feel sick as a dog
Phlegm xanthic with infection
Wondering how things got this way
And why I feel slanted
Initially we were a team
We walked hand in hand
Then you surpassed me
In favor of seeking a nature more relevant
More Xaverian
You boarded a small xebec
Excited to be free
Excited to see something
Something xenon
Something not dull
Something that wasn’t me
I had no idea I was so toxic
So xylene ...

Ring In The Good Times
7 years later
And you still make me smile
Remembering our match
In the ring where we bared all
You, the renowned fighter
Me, slyly shy
Excited for another check
On my Bucket List
One that ranked fairly high
I'd always wanted to fuck
In the ring you called home
The place where pain is expected
But where our pleasure was extolled
3 hours of my life
I'll never forget
And I still get excited
When I read about you
In some clip
We've both moved on
Knowing one night
Was all we had ...
And you still make me smile
Remembering our match
In the ring where we bared all
You, the renowned fighter
Me, slyly shy
Excited for another check
On my Bucket List
One that ranked fairly high
I'd always wanted to fuck
In the ring you called home
The place where pain is expected
But where our pleasure was extolled
3 hours of my life
I'll never forget
And I still get excited
When I read about you
In some clip
We've both moved on
Knowing one night
Was all we had ...

Burning Bridges
Why does it seem
Like everyone around me
Is afraid of Confrontation?
Just be part of the team, they say
Don't cause waves
You'll upset him
Well, fuck that shit
That's my response
Fuck it
Hate me because I have an opinion
Hate me because I point out hypocrisy
But don't hate me because I stand up for myself
I hate hypocrisy
I hate double standards
Especially when it comes from him
For 30 years I have cowered at his feet
Doing whatever it took to calm him
Doing whatever it took to avoid a...

Just Me
I don’t think you realize
What you’ve done
You had my love
My understanding
My support
I lifted you when you fell
The Big C
I swallowed my fear
And stood strong for you
I left you loving notes
Before every doctors’ appointments
And before every chemo treatment
I cooked for you
Made sure you stayed hydrated
Made sure you knew
Without a doubt
That I loved you
30 years of trying
Trying to be close to you
To feel like I had your love
20 years before I mustered up the courage
To sign “I...

I'm sorry I'm Not Perfect
Please remember when you’re angry with me
I am not perfect
I am human
I forget things
Like bringing a new jug of milk out
Or wiping instead of washing a dish
Because it’s late and I didn’t want to wake you
I don’t see things the way you do
I look at the big picture
I don’t see if there are crumbs on my chair
I see that the whole room looks nice
I try every day to help you
I offer to chop the vegetables for the stew
I offer to bring you drinks from the back
I try to figure out nights I can cook for the family
So that...
I am not perfect

I don’t see if there are crumbs on my chair

Inking Myself
Inking Myself
Got a real bad feeling tonight
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
Drive ‘til I find that place
Where I might
Where I might
Where I just might find
That warmth, that color
Those shiny bright lights
The others that are like me
Like me
Tonight
My body, his canvas
He cups my face
Don’t worry, Beautiful
You’re with me tonight
I feel safe
I close my eyes
Lean back
Give in
I’m his storyboard
For now
His pen
My race
Got a real bad feeling tonight
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
Drive ‘til I find that place
Where I might
Where I might
Where I just might find
That warmth, that color
Those shiny bright lights
The others that are like me
Like me
Tonight
My body, his canvas
He cups my face
Don’t worry, Beautiful
You’re with me tonight
I feel safe
I close my eyes
Lean back
Give in
I’m his storyboard
For now
His pen
My race

Temporary Reprieve
A field
Once flush
Now left to seed
Creatures burrow
In this safe place
Human nature’s reprieve
Yet in the distance
A rumble, dirt kicked into the sky
The machines are coming, urban nature astride
Once flush
Now left to seed
Creatures burrow
In this safe place
Human nature’s reprieve
Yet in the distance
A rumble, dirt kicked into the sky
The machines are coming, urban nature astride

Power, Controlled
These hands, weapons
Implications
Needing no explanation
Breathe
Unfurl
Release and walk away
There will be
Most likely
No fight today
