subject vs. host (crimsin / anna)
I want to lick your cerebellum
the rasp of my rough cilla'd tongue
leaving its blood beaded scratch
get into all the nooks and crannies
then eat our mental thoughts spread on toast
delicious
and get high on them
even better
does that make me manic or a maniac?
the dsm will have to make space for us.
in this new category of slime and filth we will
writhe and reproduce
in the new hallway of hell we have our rooms
next each other
i know its you cos i can hear you screaming
i wont tell them your name no ...

lasagne
i told you
don't cook the pasta first
salt
but don't put oil in the water
let the top crisp: golden
cheese is where its at
but you made lasagne for me
and here
now
all i want is for you to make me
lasagne again and
i can tell you
everything you did
right
don't cook the pasta first
salt
but don't put oil in the water
let the top crisp: golden
cheese is where its at
but you made lasagne for me
and here
now
all i want is for you to make me

olanzipine blues
all my muscle feels like
struggling in
punishing weights on
ankles and wrists
im supposed to say
thank you for this
my mind feels like
running into padded corners
smashing body
against blue mattress
no one can hear me
no one that matters
im supposed to say
thank you for this
my joints feel like
old machine needs oiling
rheumatic pain
thank you thank you
for this
struggling in

two scents that are hard to pick apart
fire in the distance
flora expectant of rain
a moth shies from moving shadows
she knows only predators

headache
theres a fault in the anvil of my mind
and it is struck each minute
splintering its stone
hammer falls
the repetition is blind
unthinking
and i just
i only
i want to go home
i want to be free
theres a steel cage round my heart
its bars are battered and bent out of shape
im a slave to my misery, so long
i recoil at opportunity
i want i only want a home
and it is struck each minute
splintering its stone
hammer falls
the repetition is blind
unthinking
and i just
i only
i want to go home
i want to be free
theres a steel cage round my heart
its bars are battered and bent out of shape
im a slave to my misery, so long
i recoil at opportunity
i want i only want a home

forestry
the tree is a patient killer
he bides his time long; he watches you grow
laughs in the breeze beside you and your children
cries and wails with you in the storm
holds himself a shelter for you
all the while he pushes up through your floors
and stretches to the sun god
(who will eat us all)
so when you gasp your last, greying breath
he takes you in his tendrils deep beneath the earth
to feed his oakmoss;
and he waits then for your young ones
and he will have them all
he bides his time long; he watches you grow
laughs in the breeze beside you and your children
cries and wails with you in the storm
holds himself a shelter for you
all the while he pushes up through your floors
and stretches to the sun god
(who will eat us all)
so when you gasp your last, greying breath
he takes you in his tendrils deep beneath the earth
to feed his oakmoss;
and he waits then for your young ones
and he will have them all

little boxes
all my little boxes fell apart
must have happened in the rain
must have been while i was dreaming
now i can’t find the one that holds my heart
pretty little boxes in a line
i liked that i could move them any time
i didn’t know the real value
of anything inside
now i can hear the offer on the line
all my little boxes torn apart
you told me you would do it from the start
i pretended to believe you
i intended to deceive you
but this was your intention for my heart
i don’t want to let this...

don’t pity the man who tells you a sad story
what a picture: you, suckling a heroin teat.
we are all so sorry
and we understand
you’ve been badly treated
honey it’s not your fault
who could love a man like you? i must be the only one
who sees through you
so why would you deceive me
knowing how i care for you
who could handle a man like you?
with what you’ve been through
with the trust I’ve given you
with the trauma we share
how could you violate
my heart so
thoroughly
that i won’t trust a...

i imagine cutting you down with my words but in reality my voice breaks and i am humiliated again
how dare you
you do not know how far i would have gone
this time i fucking mean it
like the last crumbs of a baggie and your friends fucking fucking each other in the same room while you dissociate and fall into yourself
i’ll not be the same
the first lie was i will never lie to you
the last lie was i care
the worst thing about all the people you meet
is not their pretentiousness
their racism
their audacity
it’s you
and having met you
i am fucking spun silver ...

and was i ever
in love at all?
a lie is the quickest poison
i have no antidote; i have no path back to you
it took five bricks
pulled from your wall
thrown with increasing ferocity
to break your window: i have a bad habit
of not asking questions i don't want to know
i already know the answer to
honesty is just another flavour of dopamine
but not your favourite
