the itch, the blister
he insists we made the nails
in return he bequeaths an
itch as we walk upon soil,
i can't recall the last time
my hands opened his book
but my mind remembers
each spite he chose to
leave behind as we
collect our blisters.

let the devils come
let them crawl
up into the pupil
so others know
you see right
through them
let their limbs
climb up a throat
because you came
breathing fire in
their chaotic
kingdoms
knowing upward
hierophants no
longer cut it
anymore,
let them meet
face to face
because this
flesh is made
from survival
you know
those devils
live in the
spine of
us all.

my family, ain't no family
in brutal honesty
those tablemats
are a crock of shit
as well as the
outdated carpet
catching every lie,
secret all swept
underneath it
before the house
it was a vechile
we called home,
i couldn't count
every stain and
busted window
it collected up
until the end
some of you
may know this;
others may not
know about it
but it was shit
i mean. really
fucking. shit.
there aint nothing
poetic about a father
coming...

the savage gods
you who believes
there will be no rise,
no joy, no music or
light coming to break
through your window
i may not know
which words will
stretch your mouth
into a smile again
or what glue
will bond all
your resilience
back together,
i ask you not to give
into savage gods
who build others
in order to watch
them crumble
do not let darkness
kiss you into oblivion
like many before you
this is not your time;
let those savage
gods...

national nerf service
enough of the mistakes
committed on keyboards
without any reprimands
enough of the lack
of transparency
towards those who
pay from their own
pockets just to keep
this health service
ticking & going,
enough of ruining
other peoples lives
whether they are
sick or dying
enough of attempting
to wash over actions
my siblings always
face over & over,
i have to ask
how do you
sleep at night
knowing each
mistake costs
the lives of ...

waiting
behind each
letter of a name
estranged as
autumn days
mirroring each
move our limbs
create at a
distance,
before black
canvases where
you faithfully reside
you will recognise
our momuments
fall to arms of time
and you will be
in debt to the
floors of
your mind,
knowing all
this wasn't
made to be
called mine.

the fear
the weather
is turning
and my debt
to sleep
lays in
large piles,
the 3rd is
only around
the corner
and
i'm lucky
to have made
it this far,
to sit
here
writing
all these
broken
parts
in a.m
hours
with a
bayonet
tongue
made of
flowers
and
resilience
like
barbed
wire,
to live
through
hell
leaving
with scars
to go
with it,
doing
the time
some gods
never...

sea front
i'm down
by the sea
seagull squads
are pecking me,
certified
roadkill.
