POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
loveless, i guess
i)
stranger boy
stranger for knowing me
i do not want to see u become a man
the short jobs u will take
the short temper that will run out
i don't want ur 8:30pm tired out bored to death kiss on the lips
ii)
i don't trust a man who says he never lies to me
i think u can see me sputtering
when u jam ur fingers in without warning
when i snarl and do the same
iii)
every time i think about dropping u
like a cheap ring over a bridge in france
u pull me back in
with a brand...

we submit into evidence item 356
u didnt see my carpet burn
under my fingers it feels like
the edge of a guillotine
i hang about waiting
to feel bad about it
wanted to tell u
forgot my eyelash there

i like messes and monsters so which one are you
do you remember
i wanted to set you on fire
you looked at me and saw an abyss
staring back
hungry
oh i felt so loved
i felt so satisfied
i felt so perfectly empty
you pulled me inside out and smiled
and i came back
so we could laugh at me
trying to be so
so - i don't know
so good

saltchalkdust
magician's plume
o to have that flourish
ur trembling precision
floats like a chiffon scarf
(in a black&white film)
(with a crescendo
in ur earholes)
building up as u know how a crescendo
as it goes
how it goes

clotfilled ears
dripping neck
& a woozy head
& a frustration @ being inside
when i could be outside
staring down people's dogs
pretending im a good person
im doing nothing bad but bleeding

alone with the white walls and the lights humming
whatmi meant to do with so much absent noise? holding on to focus with the skinless whites of my eyes
drying out like potpourii in this echo chamber i conned my way to belonging
if i seep into the air like a toxic spore
forgive me my attendance, i am trying not to be here : sorry i cannot pay attention i am torn apart at the cerebellum like fruit thrown on the floor i am somewhere in the corners going bad
remember me by my stench
water trickles and wall clicks
settling down for the time being and if i look too long the world is bright
there is a sag...

i told u im happy in hell
the slickest smile flickered in&out
in the fullest emptiness
crawl out from the wall-mirror again my face-painted ghoul
this time speak clearly
to the hollowest fear eviscerating all the insides
to reality,
to desire
my body the temple
still in excavation
its yours
god damn you
i'll be so bad for you
i'll be good if you hurt me
touch me touch me make me
let's go to confession
and fuck in the booth
oh it hurts all the time
i'm never gonna leave this place till...

i watch too many cop shows for
gym mat on the floor
lawgiver>lawbreaker
jawbreaking toothpopper
thrill candy
freedom
can't say no to free flavouring
reflexive fist
bent backwards
thumbscrewed and fuckless
saltsmoked left to crust
(not sorry)
collecting regret
somehow aware of the consequences somehow unable to see
point blank range memory
wild, sweet chaos
when was i crying?
guess i like to
coulda killedsomeone i suppose
didn't

stupid draft you're stupid
when will u be like me
is it when the light falls down on the lawn grass tonight
is it when u stop scratching scabs
inventing scars because ur an adult and u can't
i think u are fine as u are

i was told not to make friends with the crazy people
and to never come back...
&still i sensed i was only let into a larger enclosure
island asylum
febreeze wont cover this type of
wilful insanity
the stench of dopamine in the morning
some dysregulation in the s. system
call it what you want
say im courting tragedy
say i wish i was sick
say i'll never understand
because only you do
there's something wrong
wrong and i dont care what it is

justify!
if not what she does, what she doesn't. she is a pinched valve, she has to take something to give. she used to think so. now she for sure knows. contraindications: she cannot maintain an erection or give birth.
alone is no burden. alone is just fine. it is less of nothing.
it would be satiating to break the seal and forfeit the warranty on it. to void her nothing. but it is like waiting for reincarnation. on that day will be candles and cake which we will eat them both. the fall will be with one step backwards and she will lie supine showing blooded gums and canines,...
