Anima
On bright
mornings
when air
is crystal
i'll open
your window
leave psyche
with you,
fly as fury
sacrifices
to a new
dawn.

Beware the parade
Who shape
themselves
into overlords
bumbling
their way out
of early graves
without looking
at you directly
in the face,
who's tongue
present flowers
in some urgent
like manner
only to trance
around your
precious skull,
they are
always
nothing
without
somebody
like you.

Carnal thoughts
How a mind
rapidly aches
thinking
about you
laying all
of your fire
down on a
stark sheet
patiently—
waiting for
my hands
filled with
gasoline
to greet
your burn
in small
touches.

Blood mother
Don't want to
be held under
lights radiating
velvet violence
see banshees
stare and laugh
in their dirty
under tones,
I want to know
every part of
this mangled
up body
torn in ways
people only
see in strange
nightmares,
feel every
beat pound
back to
mother.

Ball in chest
Had to go out
of my own way
to call a sister up
letting her
know how
things truly
went down
warning her
about kinds
who behave
like he does,
I know
she's big
and bad
enough
to make
her own
decisions,
for me it
tastes like
impending
doom
as my hands
shake talking
on the phone
thinking i'll
never be free
from his grip,
how it
crushes
my chest.

Thirty two
I feel you slowly
erasing from
every line
almost as
if you're living
half dead &
half alive,
all I wonder
about lately
is whether
or not you
half cried,
perhaps
my only sin
is knowing
my feet
carry
on.

No

but the power
is underused

since your ears
couldn't hear
my voice
tearing in two

it's a power

after a

how violence

of wayward
people
but a throat
taught wrong;
can turn into
the greatest ...

Maul
i.
They didn't
quite know
what to do
so they place
upright hands
upon a red
oak table
ii.
tension rises
reading lines
branded into
soft flesh
as they lean
their head
against my
forehead
iii.
I never thought
tables would
become my
nemesis
iv.
until my
carnal legs
craved to
climb
across
that god
forsaken
table.

Red star
On hilltops
I sit alone
late at night
after hours
in the office,
counting dots
into red stars
glowing in
their own
violence
like your
sharp words
pirouetting
around my
thoughts.

Pulp
I can't
imagine it
without you
not having
you between
my fingers
curving loops
into the back
of godly flesh
in ebony ink,
this strange
dance only
we have
learned.
