I pass streetlights on the way home
remembering how I asked
what was it like being in a ring
with people screaming at you?
he explained you cannot see
anybody past two rows as
lights shine down on you,
once you understand this
nothing else really matters.

Never expect
to receive what
you never gone
out to seek.

Welcome to hippocampus
The slight raise
of an eyebrow
head gradually
tilting to the right,
i've been wearing
it since eleven
years of age
and the truth
is nobody ever
knows what's
happening,
lately i've been
less conversation
more draining out
disappointments
into my local
swimming pool
because my
hippocampus
isn't tolerating
discourses in
nonsense.

Gothicking
Haven't been to
Chaucertown since
I was a young one
but that was a
retreat where
you ate very little,
you had a secret
stash of sweets
waiting for you
because hunger is
a savage bastard
that doesn't settle
down for crumbs,
I think how odd
it all looks since
i've grown older
looking at tickets
costing a bomb
just to gaze into
place of worship,
how we wandered
around outside it
the evening before
like rebels without
sacrificing...

Void(age)
As a void
You start getting tired
seeing 120 feet away
of what's coming
and don't always
wish to see six times
lower in darkness than
the average human,
it gets exhausting
catching yourself
after the hardest
fall, then purring
to aid the bone
density you require
as a void
I wish to roll around
in sunshine, slow blink
at every flower that
softly blooms into
another season
let my eyes dilate
seeing my loved
ones faces, no hiss
or arched back...

I'm writing you back
To say I don't
love you as if
hands glide
smooth over
crushed velvet
or something
perfectly tidied
into little boxes
with neat labels,
I love you like
all creatures
deserve to
be loved
be it working
or going against
a humble grain
I love you in light
and darkness, be
it standing or sitting
without agenda
or trivial issues.
I love you this way
because this is
the only way I
wish to know
because your smile ...

Polaroids
It's hard living
in shared spaces
where all eyes
shall be present
and counted for,
i've always been
an ethical creature
but I won't lie, my
tough leather heart
can find it difficult
when it cannot
display a photo
where you and
I exist alone.

The hardest bitches write the shortest ones
I sit there watching
them write beautifully
without looking into
mirrors directly
but i'll always end
up becoming the
problem of this
story unfolding.

Three am heart
What I want
most will never
happen through
this time on earth
but as I close my
eyes drifting away,
it's almost feels
like i'm close
enough.

Beauty is in the being that felt it
I sit with diprosalic
in my hair bathing in it,
believing in it, allowing
it to acknowledge dead
scales laying secretly
around my crown
I pick up my
double sided comb,
gliding and lifting
dead skin from
my scalp
I remember
vividly as a child;
being combed
to death making
sure there wasn't
a single flake to
be discovered,
then I remember
how every pain
began to form
each scale left
upon my head
how beauty
is actually ...

Nobody considers

strikes a home

Three cans of monsters, a packet of rice cakes with hummus and strawberry lances later
I. am. pissed. the. fuck.off
because some
dickweed always
has an answer
to everything,
thinks they
know the answer
to. absolutely.
every. pissing. thing.
that's happening in
this damn place,
if you looked at him
you'd believe he's
still wet from the
fucking womb
he acts like it too
usually when
everything he's
suggested goes
in the opposite
direction and
gets served
the blame
and rightly so.
He always throws ...
