Being with Alison
I was almost her
Before the bony fingers
Of time
Began to tug my face
Like putty, sinkening
Under merciless groping
Pinching and plying my skin into
Mean, furrowed clefts
She’s beautiful
And when she laughs
Her hair lifts off her breasts
Her eyes search for the vulnerable
And the yearning.
We suffer while
She occupies the space where we all breathe
I feel myself disappear.
I examine with lumbering dread
My hands
As they evaporate
My legs that blur into a vapy...

As they evaporate
My legs that blur into a vapy...

Cemetery
I don’t feel the wind like other people
There is always a touch of sadness
In the way it sighs against my skin.
And even when purple lilac
Lingers in the air
I find myself wishing
It was rather the scent of those I’ve lost.
It’s in the dirt I find my breath
Buried and dark and furrowing
With life undone
And life beginning.
There is always a touch of sadness
In the way it sighs against my skin.
And even when purple lilac
Lingers in the air
I find myself wishing
It was rather the scent of those I’ve lost.
It’s in the dirt I find my breath
Buried and dark and furrowing
With life undone
And life beginning.

you can't love a dead gurl
I need to find my voice
And purge my throat
Of all of these poisons
I loved you madly.
But the ravens always
Lurked nearby
And the grave was dug
Before you came.
But please...
Don’t
Try to
Kiss me...
Or come searching
For the splinters
In my eyes.
You unwittingly
Chained my soul
To you
But you are free
From mine.
And purge my throat
Of all of these poisons
I loved you madly.
But the ravens always
Lurked nearby
And the grave was dug
Before you came.
But please...
Don’t
Try to
Kiss me...
Or come searching
For the splinters
In my eyes.
You unwittingly
Chained my soul
To you
But you are free
From mine.

In talking with Jack
It’s coming now…..
I feel it at last
Rolling in like the tide
My organs are aching
While my brain lets go of this fog.
He told me your confessions...
Like a swarm of disease
Settling in thick droves
Across the fields;
I heard every word.
And what was it you said exactly?
I am a rat
Littering your basement floor
I am
The odor in the room
That sours the
The breaths you take.
Roll your eyes and tell them…
Tell them how you hate me
They will never know
The...

Resurrection
I should set myself free
From what he wants me to be.
I’m a fool
Making too many
Mistakes
And I wait
For him
To respond…
Tormented by this vice
Of my own making.
I should release
Myself the burden
Of caring
Of staring
At my phone
Release myself
From this man
Who will never come.
Listen to
….a pale
voice in a desperate struggle
(....he doesn’t
……...want
...your love…
……..just enough...
From what he wants me to be.
I’m a fool
Making too many
Mistakes
And I wait
For him
To respond…
Tormented by this vice
Of my own making.
I should release
Myself the burden
Of caring
Of staring
At my phone
Release myself
From this man
Who will never come.
Listen to
….a pale
voice in a desperate struggle
(....he doesn’t
……...want
...your love…

When he Leaves....
Cover your heart
Put a warm blanket down
To protect it from the ice
Tuck it around you
And brace...

The problem with space
You need a little space
And so do I.
But you took the space first
And now my time
Is crowded with doubt
Squeezed (breathe out)
I can’t breathe without
A word or two
From you,
From you.
It’s Through.
…………......it’s true.
I want to run
Until my lungs give out
Give me
A second to breathe
You encompass all my need
And now you’ve taken
All my space.
And so do I.
But you took the space first
And now my time
Is crowded with doubt
Squeezed (breathe out)
I can’t breathe without
A word or two
From you,
From you.
It’s Through.
…………......it’s true.
I want to run
Until my lungs give out
Give me
A second to breathe
You encompass all my need
And now you’ve taken
All my space.

Vulnerable walls in the wake of storm
It’s a knowing.
It settles
Into every unprotected corner
Into the basement cracks
Into the forgotten holes
Into the fractures of the wall
Into the fissures of the broken sink
It will slink away
It’s happening now….
Cowering back into the sea.
It settles
Into every unprotected corner
Into the basement cracks
Into the forgotten holes
Into the fractures of the wall
Into the fissures of the broken sink
It will slink away
It’s happening now….

Thinking of his Girlfriend
I know my undoing
And I can’t
Stop.
I watch him from across the room.
A fire
Spreads from
The words we’ve said
The wrongs I did
Coming to fruition.
I want his skin
On top of me
Between my thighs
Between my thoughts
Between the Moments
And the pauses in between.
I don’t know
How real he is
From what I’ve made him to be.
I’m beginning to see
He's not the god
That once I saw
But even more
In human form
A fallible
Breakable man
And...
And I can’t
Stop.
I watch him from across the room.
A fire
Spreads from
The words we’ve said
The wrongs I did
Coming to fruition.
I want his skin
On top of me
Between my thighs
Between my thoughts
Between the Moments
And the pauses in between.
I don’t know
How real he is
From what I’ve made him to be.
I’m beginning to see
He's not the god

In the Breakroom
To have you
Right now
Pull up my skirt….
Grab my hips
Slip inside….
Drip down my thigh
You always find
That ache
That you alone create
And rhythmically fuck
Out of me.
Right now
Pull up my skirt….
Grab my hips
Slip inside….

You always find
That ache
That you alone create

The Towel in your Backseat
I forget
The warnings.
You told me
This was nothing
And you would call
When time permitted...
I start to wilt
With worry
And need
And weeds
Of doubt
Bubble and stew
I try to get through
But it’s you….
And you
Never cared for
A word I say.
And anyway,
I must be unaffected.
I am
The face
You love in the dark
The body you taste
In the back seat
Of your car.
The warnings.
You told me
This was nothing
And you would call
When time permitted...
I start to wilt
With worry
And need
And weeds
Of doubt
Bubble and stew
I try to get through
But it’s you….
And you
Never cared for
A word I say.
And anyway,
I must be unaffected.
I am
The face
You love in the dark
The body you taste
In the back seat
Of your car.

One of your Girls
At first
It was
A thing
A fling
One and done
Once or twice
Keep it nice….
Before the feels
Come creeping in.
And now fevers
Plague my bed
Thoughts of you
Crowd my head
My hands on you
While your cock slides through
Filling me
With what I need
Until the night
Bleeds away into lonely
Oblivion
When you leave…
Melancholy and silence
Spreads into the spaces
That you filled.
You will never be mine
Not even for-
The briefest of time….. ...
