If you’re a word, I’m a word
It’s illogical, but why do I still
feel such suspicion when people
tell me they love me
as if I can’t believe they’d place
someone else over the wreckage
of themselves
your bones entered, washing black salt
from wounded questions, stitching
new answers on old cotton tongues
and I realise now, love
was never enough to make me
want to stay, but it licked
cold bile from my lips
enough for me to say, boy
you’re my glass, and I long
to drink until it stops hurting
...

Never Give Up Life
I will never give up this new year!
I will veer away from a dreadful society
and trek into the wilderness
for the sake of my self preservation.
What sins and decay society is now!
Embrace the peace of nonjudgmental eyes,
or nonexistent eyes in the wilds.
I don’t care how alone I am I want solitude.
I once wrote the forest has eyes and tongues.
This refers to his the psychosis will follow me.
I accept this, however, no one will witness me
responding to these voices out loud!
I’m 37 now and I am exhausted and...
I will veer away from a dreadful society
and trek into the wilderness
for the sake of my self preservation.
What sins and decay society is now!
Embrace the peace of nonjudgmental eyes,
or nonexistent eyes in the wilds.
I don’t care how alone I am I want solitude.
I once wrote the forest has eyes and tongues.
This refers to his the psychosis will follow me.
I accept this, however, no one will witness me
responding to these voices out loud!
I’m 37 now and I am exhausted and...

Contradictions Possess
Contradictions possess the soul
the uninhabited body of lusting flesh
much sweeter than last night's bread
insatiable appetite for twigs whelping red
devouring my essential poetic conviction
there was no angel in yesterday's confession
talking with a shadow kissing my ass
"Bless me Father for I have sinned
for something sweeter than last night's bread"
the uninhabited body of lusting flesh
much sweeter than last night's bread
insatiable appetite for twigs whelping red
devouring my essential poetic conviction
there was no angel in yesterday's confession
talking with a shadow kissing my ass
"Bless me Father for I have sinned
for something sweeter than last night's bread"
