the fourth time
oh shh oh shh now be still
take the seizure loving tendrils of pain
stroke the smoother edges
it’s been worse
be still be quiet be patient
be quiet be patient be still
patient and still and quiet
been gonna be sore
for a while now
rainfall pain relief
no fucking thinking
girl
change the story
you tell about yourself
fourth time lucky
four hours be gone
and a bloodbath
take the seizure loving tendrils of pain
stroke the smoother edges
it’s been worse
be still be quiet be patient
be quiet be patient be still
patient and still and quiet
been gonna be sore
for a while now
rainfall pain relief
no fucking thinking
girl
change the story
you tell about yourself
fourth time lucky
four hours be gone
and a bloodbath

alright
so tell me how to act
tell me how to feel
im just hurt
i think
this silence is so far from comfortable. in every second that stretches out another vocal cord strains like an over tightened string. mine, that is, it’s my throat
i am so angry that i am so upset. i am upset that i am so angry.
i do nothing
it is okay that i am like this. is it? i would like to ask how you are
i would like to be able to tell a joke
i would like a story or an idea
instead of this buzzing
i really planned to sound better...

i should have led with i think you're funny and interesting
my left tit burns white hot
knife-like nipples cutting the still air
and im going to meet you
you
keep saying you love me
recently
im trying to understand
what that means
alone again
wondering how the fuck
i got all these greedy hands on me
take a part of my life
rip it to pieces
chuck it on the floorboards
you can always get more
are you waiting for me
are you
anything...

stone circle
i)
the spirits if there were
did not want you
and i did not want them to
stargazer,
limitless
silly, dangerous man
serious and soft
surround me
with breathing air
i tried
ii)
the first comet we saw was the brightest thing i have seen. an orange burst of fire and a sound like quenching hot iron.
honesty is a trap
i do not like the inside of you
full of shit and conspiracy
i want granite i can touch
what have i done now

do i have to let you know in words how awful we are
so: cry out
until something calls back to you /
you are always eviscerated you are always starving / present me your emaciated ass / i'll gladly ruin you / slashed ligaments / crawl forward darling to the mouth of (is it) / hell / to get to me / here i am here i am / my touch / is a regretful drug / you must come closer / so my crooked hands can split you open / oh please, my sweetest tasting liar / scream that much louder / fill your throat with antimatter / break your nails away from the bed / come to mine / bleeding / like a cut flower / break everything / it's not your...

the minor injuries of you and me
i chipped my tooth fucking you.
my finger was broken and you ruined the splint. it will never be the same
you have a scar on your shoulder from my nails
and a dimple in your cheek, also from me.
there is such a loud hum in my ear.
you are part of my silhouette;
i am in your cupboards and drawers
a missing person

how do i remember if i've done this before
the boy is a white noise machine
and i will not need him
in the way that this past five years
i have
imagine me unhappy
or
imagine me guileless
i am not both
pretend i am unscathed
even as time
turns backwards
on my scars
and i will not need him
in the way that this past five years
i have
imagine me unhappy
or
imagine me guileless
i am not both
pretend i am unscathed
even as time
turns backwards
on my scars

naked and unwashed i am last week's fever dream
scalp is woollen . let it be
skin is good? itchy?
knees bones hurt
face is sore
teeth roughy
the taste is bad.
nipples
curve of my breast feels nice feels comforting
against the arm lain across it
hands is numb from face lying on the other arm
i know shhh this is not
but I can't I say i can not
shhh it is ok says the snake
rest here.
come back when you can
skin is good? itchy?
knees bones hurt
face is sore
teeth roughy
the taste is bad.
nipples
curve of my breast feels nice feels comforting
against the arm lain across it
hands is numb from face lying on the other arm
i know shhh this is not
but I can't I say i can not
shhh it is ok says the snake
rest here.
come back when you can
