for the lurking readers
thank you.
I could never so intimately
express myself to ones I know.
Thanks for the nonjudgement, and
the patience. I've been though a lot of
ups and downs, and even though there may
not be a lot of interactions, it feels good to know
that someone has seen me.

my heart hurts
trapped pounding
relentless annoyance
the horse was dead long
before you started beating.
unseated, crying, ignorance,
my closest is my closet me,
dying light; a candle to see by,
do right by, the wax figurine.
the morning will show a prostrate
caricature of a carousel. head
drawn to the side. string ripped from
insides. the lines that create you are crude.
they make you hard, an armor against...me.
i've always been fond of mithridatism,
ritualistically bleeding the evil out.

I hurt myself today, to see if I could change
I get a chill
from quite a fishy smell,
so sure I'll be betrayed,
so sure of your loveless gaze.
If I speak my thoughts, I
will be berated by you,
faster than I could utter an
intelligible response. You
render me speechless, I
can never get a word in;
the hedges are overgrown,
and I, in my nightgown,
everlasting.

Fück My Face
When the other shoe drops, I'll be ready.
Alone and stranded, NOT, stranded, I refuse, what
is left over, I will reuse. And when you do it, do it fast,
get it off your chest and into mine. So fast it leaves me dizzy,
but not stumbling. There will be no falter, only mere
mental anguish. I will keep my back straight, I will keep my head
high. I will leave without saying goodbye. The world is open
to my interpretation, and I'm just another conquest.
I'm wringing my ego by my neck,
spluttering.

Sister Sally O'Malley from the Slothing Order of Sarcast
we all want a chance
to inflict agony's dance
on the ones who fed us poison.
it is me, who is deserving,
bloodstained talons curling,
beguiling with sarcastic tongues;
more foul than the deepest gutter.
you ache in wait to slay the cutter
from where I tower defiantly,
perched to witness your reliant
asking of table scraps.

half n half
Evil eyes for protection, an ego projection,
i'm hiding, i'm fighting, scared of your rejection
looking at the bodies on the battlefield and wincing
thinking this could be me, why does no one else seem scared?
i'm in my head looking through myself the shadows
and spider houses clutter the edges, the perfect bite
save for you, i'm SAFE for you.
i'm the box of chocolates, the baker knows no bounds,
upsetting and down setting, i feel like i'm being tricked,
all the bleeding hearts as i walk down the aisle, white and red
down my length,...

mouth breather
the years have done you poorly
formulating sentence structures
is a syntax too complex, entertainment free,
too much a sin to tax. Respiring
thickly, mucosa infected, you're green with
envy, not cash, awarded to throw at
the problem. Unhinged jaw slacklining
'tween the no stealing from mom and pop stores,
and buying your wardrobe from slave traders;
THEY are what stock the shelves, the guns,
frontline battling rams to border the whor[d]e,
no apologies, we eat our wages turning
your magazine pages in back alley flick

Arm Expecting
My eyes are swollen, allergen pulsing
through my veins, tired, inn fatigues and
waiting, for the drop to my knees,
breaking, the soft spot,
crying in worn cot.

Past Refrection
I love her and him and all of them
inside the home and outside.
So scared, so wary, I open a palm
to breathe life into sheim,
a masterpiece of concertos, so tremendous in stature, stardom.
A relic of the past spit roast will feed the future into love so infinite that it cums again, all over the turpentine seat belt holding in the gasps. With air so sharp
and no cheese to fold, only cards will underhandedly hold.

Something in the Water
All soggy and bearing a daughter
in a tunnel screen vision of gold digging,
horse riding steele reserve. The noontime wake up in flaps of mutation; tall boy. Bitch, please! Tell me your inevitable Aveeno secret, that you're a manning the one and only victor(y)ship.
Glad for the pits and stops, stooping to the steep ankle grinding bites of kick me dogs; scruffled and outcry muffled. Stand proud for all the soot under the bedrock, more than simply growing a cock, a breathable mesh hernia to render you useless.
Dunk the ball and get it free, the collage of...

Autumn Takes All
Wet blankets clothe the prickled skin and the drape is something so backwards
In frozen alive moments of maybe, maybe not, I'd play the flower, but all have died. The tear petals forgotten and sometimes eye spied, a broken fragment pie, baked with all the attention I selfishly taked.

land o' leeches, tub o' lard
Bruised fruit bears bitter wine,
drunk off the fumes and doing just fine,
a skeleton suit in the way back,
closet space for all the humor you lack,
a bug's burp of fever sets the soundtrack,
as blind eyes see a bright light illuminating
places far from tight, in pincushion skin
dauntingly translucent and thin.
