Rind state of matter
I watch them
taking a knife
slowly shaving
spanish oranges
down with silver,
it was the point
I always adored
one nobody
could ever
live up to.

I will write you in caricature
because to me
that's all you are;
perfectly placed
in a grand abode
masterpieces
all arranged
on a pristine
coffee table,
the book you
wrote sat on
a pedestal
left untouched
because no
other fingertips
have any value
to flip through
every one of
your pages,
as I say this
I contemplate
if this world has
become your
anthology,
if this is the way
you can breathe
without shame
or clarification
doesn't...

Church of the wild
Her words, a glass ball
rolling around my skull
haunting the mattress
that has bled through.
Each word showing up in ways
an eye couldn't focus upon,
the cycle coming to a close
and a body gone, far from
all it has ever known
into wilderness
out of sight, out in night,
no misunderstandings
or villages shining
their yellow lights
here it is; a body, a soul
moving on it's own terms
without expectations
from other creatures
here it is, her words,
the path laying deep...
rolling around my skull
haunting the mattress
that has bled through.
Each word showing up in ways
an eye couldn't focus upon,
the cycle coming to a close
and a body gone, far from

here it is; a body, a soul

There's a terrible god
That will dance
too close for comfort
as lights flash in
a crowded room,
talons that
scrape down
every inch of
their skin
leaving them
starved for weeks
until they finally
cave into it,
into the
godless
side of
me.

In sight, in mind
You have no idea
how colossal
this lit up city
made me feel
until your mouth
filled my thoughts
with stories you
shared with me.
Even in
your absence
I feel your soft
hands running
over my skin
as I lay by
my windowsill
blowing smoke
watching city
lights fading
into morning.

Nobody dares to talk about the Dom
Do you know
you can stay at
the Savoy for a
whole night for
four figures?
but you have
to stay there
talking to your
client until he
falls asleep,
if he's kind
enough he'll
offer the other
bed to sleep in
and give you
breakfast in
the morning
so he's got
company.
Did you know
you can go to
Mayfair and
fist a lady for
five hundred
insisting that
you wear gloves
and lay a towel
down on the
mattress
...

Firesong
I collect your walk
bursting into fire
roaming streets
branding chords
inside my chest
as flames waltz
inside my pupil,
certain as birds
waking up morning
announcing another
day through song
certain as light
breaking into night
where my hipbones
have crushed over
you in the dark.

Speaking crow
Crow sits on a branch
black eyes, tilting his head
as wind rustle leaves
hanging on to winter
bleeding itself out
observing flesh
dressed in cotton
walking along his
path in silence,
drinking in faces
as remembrance
while grooming
mangled wings
from ambush
after ambush
that's how crow
commands your
flesh before him,
you'll hear no
caws calling
out from his
sharp beak
he demands
only to be felt.

You couldn't handle fierce
I saw you once
but you didn't

sure you can
paint your hair
a fierce kind

wear aesthetics
that can scream
'bad boy feels'
get piercings
until you run out
of spaces to
punch holes into,
collect a few
more tattoos

it's fangs into every

I've been drowning for so long
My lungs cannot tell
if they're inhaling
air or water.

My girl stood sixty seven centimetres
but I remember my girl when she was a baby,
her paws stumbling around the place as her
docked ears stand to attention
it was a small place but we managed, meaning my bed became her bed, every night she curled in a ball listening to a ticking clock emulating her mothers heartbeat, I slowly becoming something of a mothers warmth as her eyes closed dreaming of her next walk
in return she taught me a great deal more,

The one who couldn't settle much
You come with
no warning signs
in little words with
short sentences
hitting nerves
of broken minds
and broken souls,
then you leave
to somewhere else
where nobody can
hunt your bones
and you return
to this empty bed
you know better
than anyone else,
where cold hands
from long nights
get lost inside
my red curls
scratched skin
finally resting
as the poison
works out of
your system,
velvet tones
execute words ...
