Unf**kable
It’s too much
How the space crackles
Between us.
I’m never going to be enough
For you
To love
Completely.
You can push
Doesn’t mean much
When I’m on the floor
Crying out for something more.
You’re mad at the unlit candle
Though you hold the match,
You hold everything
Yet leave me untouched.
Polishing a wooden table
Until it’s splinters
Only wastes time.
How the space crackles
Between us.
I’m never going to be enough
For you
To love
Completely.
You can push
Doesn’t mean much
When I’m on the floor
Crying out for something more.
You’re mad at the unlit candle
Though you hold the match,
You hold everything
Yet leave me untouched.
Polishing a wooden table
Until it’s splinters
Only wastes time.

Realizations & Revelations
Hard steel isn’t the only way to forge.
I can squeeze softness,
and smile in the mirror.
This well traveled road
doesn’t bode well with me.
Slowly learning to be genuinely
Guinness mistress,
bar maid with the tits spilling out.
More, hungry, milquetoast filling out
the proper paperwork.
It’s different than it seems,
like a dairy diary,
full of creams.
Eat me, and grow taller, wet,
drink me, and grow smaller, yet.

changing titles and taking off masks
I’m comforted by all the soft orange things, a glow around a Welsh nan,
childhood friends,
and mothers embrace.
Stir me together and salt the soup,
hearty and full bodied.

Seems Tris is Busy
Mesh making spider
bend and sew,
mend the cloth and let it go.
The whiskey sky burns brighter.
Spider play and spider fight,
she at night she splays outright.
In and out the hook creates,
up and down the look deflates.

obscure insecure allure
You make a compelling simulacra,
the foolish drool, your ego grools;
the words you shit together,
my god I need a breather!

Cave of Secrets
Focused strikes
Dragging thru
Deeper
Than the world will ever see
It’s all that I will be,
Tourniquet
Set to bleed just right.
Rusted blade
Makes the fit tight
Stink heart
Worthless bitch
Hurting and bruised
The alley is cold
But it’s all I seem to know.
Dragging thru

But it’s all I seem to know.

It Isn’t Very Christlike
Let’s just eat,
or is that admitting defeat?
Jealousy and rage
in me, do not engage
with me, I’m locked in
a cage, my love.
Upstaged with hateful heat.
Twisted ego I beat back-
stay in your place,
you belong to me!
Losing face seems like
a winning race,
spin class in a washing machine,
a bar isn’t enough to get me clean.

All the Sad Songs. Will Never be Enough.
Bleeding bird grounded
To the dirty street pounded
Peaks smashed and rounded
Dumb bird try harder,
To get the peaks farther
Get stuck and fall retarder
There’s only beating
hammer long receding
Strongman will competing
Broken bird broken wing
Butterfucked bee sting
Insects have such shallow flings.
To the dirty street pounded
Peaks smashed and rounded
Dumb bird try harder,
To get the peaks farther
Get stuck and fall retarder
There’s only beating

Insects have such shallow flings.

SPIRITUAL POEM

god and the devil are transitional energy
I found the devil
In the crevice of godly service.
I stood at the edge
And watched it break me,
Take my thoughts and
violate the sanctuary
I prayed to.
I was there when I was created,
From perfumed lilies,
And roadkill skid marks,
I was overcooked and
Burning from the start.
I try to rebuild from the disarray,
The char stains my hands,
And on my knees I crawl,
The distance draws farther
And my sight tunnels
Into the pit I fall.
The bottom and the top squeeze me ...
In the crevice of godly service.
I stood at the edge
And watched it break me,
Take my thoughts and
violate the sanctuary
I prayed to.
I was there when I was created,
From perfumed lilies,
And roadkill skid marks,
I was overcooked and
Burning from the start.
I try to rebuild from the disarray,
The char stains my hands,
And on my knees I crawl,
The distance draws farther
And my sight tunnels
Into the pit I fall.
The bottom and the top squeeze me ...

Art Class
Faded Clorox wipes sweep the room, dancing slowly with the crayons
And paint.
Blue speckle on grey white plastic.
Stiff chairs
Mock the spine and shape the mind.
Mediocre sketches in sultry charcoal
Line my eyes; dripping darkly,
November skies.
And paint.

camping without a sewer hookup
Violent urges
Match my dour dirges
The night is everlasting
This curse still casting.
Sour stomach bile
Builds the sick guile
As I roll my eyes
In time to your soft lies.
Full of shit and ready to burst
This amount of force usually hurts,
The doctor said go home
But I’ll stay where I roam;
My thoughts nauseated
With the content created.
A concentrated dosage
Of white sage Osage,
Crystals won’t be enough
To save me from the stuff.
Match my dour dirges
The night is everlasting
This curse still casting.
Sour stomach bile
Builds the sick guile
As I roll my eyes
In time to your soft lies.
Full of shit and ready to burst
This amount of force usually hurts,
The doctor said go home
But I’ll stay where I roam;
My thoughts nauseated
With the content created.
A concentrated dosage
Of white sage Osage,
Crystals won’t be enough
To save me from the stuff.
