dance
lost and dancing to beats unknown,
i clamor to breathe.
just get up and live, be, guide.
then reality settles in.

clear as day
i licked the fates of plate-glass.
it tasted bloody and bad.
i had a mother and i loved.
i had no time to say what was said.
i believe you when you read this-
it's a truth told unto those;
it's salty and clear as day.
there is no point and lies be told-
merry-go-rounds spin and so does
this head.
why they say and rib and kid you.
steal your socks as much as maybe
love you.
its quite fair.
it tastes bad.

Lovely Light
Because your made of steel,
and sweet underneath;
all the time it never occurred
hand-to-mouth was the way out.
i sleep against my own volition;
and seemly can't resist being
human again.
cat's out of the bag.

Death of Juliet
i have faith in
you, the runners of
the pack.
you slipped in, eyes ashunder.
so many walked by, homeless thoughts
not fed.
tonight, it, blossomed.
it restored old world care;
the reasons of sky, why I cry
at the death of juliet- so wronged.
tonight, on, the boards of culver city,
a miracle of sorts; i grew strong,
mother said, I knew the P's & Q's;
and I ran,
I let the angels take me.
and I believed again.

Thirst of Touch
i am feeling too much, akin to stars
lining, burning with kerosene and
away.
that was eons ago. i tell you nothing
quenched the thirst of touch;
it's all hands, and eyes and kisses.
I was away. I saw the collapse of
structure and neatness and lost
nothing but undies and a smile because
fire fears emptiness.
I am feeling. tonight it is a prayer, a
solid line to my earth, her
strength is gravity and i tie, i tie
and hold on.

Finding Air
I can't do 2 things at once;
the balance is inadequate,
and I fall,
at night
and sleep laughs.
there was, as everyone so
cutely remembers, a perfect
house, and laughs, and family-
but that
hole is too deep,
and I copied from a book
and lied.
there are no excuses
as I am fully adult, fully able
to pay a mortgage and to
have one-night loves;
but it doesn't heal the loss,
of old
and the fresh dumps and cries.
it's a swirling mass with its own
planetary system
but I ...

Moon Visions
why does the feeling
end?
i accept the speed and time
and trajectory;
but throat plucked and mouth
dry; why is this a rule?
rows and ruminations cake up,
cars unsold, paper-weights control
never to be seen with or known or
scratched-
your gone.
looking up and stars say your name;
one little red one is burning within,
and I hate,
and I adore, and,
I don't know anything, or I
go dry.
never end, never remember the bad;
I am not a friend of 3am whimsy snips,
they hurt, they create the...

Forever
ill prepared and
fully-weathered;
i can last perhaps
forever.
as this city devours
me whole, no bones
or trail remains in puddles or
rains, as if
i never existed.
the drum-drum in my head
is a full-on nightmare and i
adore it, warm
hold me.
there is no pain as nerves
disconnect and joints rip, rap
less of me to sait its appetite.
i am home.

Meandering
there are three.
two know the secret
and I in the dark.
there is meandering and
things are said that upset;
quiet and whisper in my ear.
the seep of loss- trinity lost.
to fight the good fight, edge
and the world is not as 1950s-
hair set and perfect in the rain;
i strain to hear.
slow, and so many hurts, and wants
and slow,
slow creep,
up, ever high,
claw and hold, live and smile,
sometimes;
so there, and reap and
sow,
one alone.

Leak
i wanted to be the glue,
the seal to hold in bad
thoughts,
i get what was mass-produced.
the line was forever, a war on
metal & metallic love;
i don't feel it, with
empty eyes and bad regrets.
why crush and hold back the
flow, nothing is
forever and i
leak brain-matter in cheap bars.
i am blinded by brilliance &
scoff- cheap labor is a regular
burden and
i don't know where 20 years went.
the seal to hold in bad
thoughts,
i get what was mass-produced.
the line was forever, a war on
metal & metallic love;
i don't feel it, with
empty eyes and bad regrets.
why crush and hold back the
flow, nothing is
forever and i
leak brain-matter in cheap bars.
i am blinded by brilliance &
scoff- cheap labor is a regular
burden and
i don't know where 20 years went.

Catfish
the cute guy was merry
and on
twitter.
he was fake but jessica
tried to verify him.
he wouldn't skype and red flags
all-around.
so sad as he seemed to have a
big dick

Undead
drawn to quarters,
insignificant can't stop me;
i grow everything once,
feeling the change, calling.
once i knew everything,
i was indestructible and vile;
i was surrounded, bifercated
and drew my own blood sport.
if you knew me, i was soft &
grew weak but high;
pieces
gone.
