(Man In Black) Tethered to my Body by a Johnny Thread
(Man in Black)Tethered to my body by a Johnny thread
Been poppin pills
Til the sun rises
Cash is in trouble
Can’t walk the line
It’s in a cave
In Tennessee
Fighting the demons
Heroin numbs him
June comes along
He can’t resist
His secret crush
She’ll save him
Folsom prison blues
San Quentin too
But my name is Sue
How do you do
Rosanne said daddy you gotta
Go to Betty Ford
Can’t have this no more
The man in black
She said no more
...

I Still Don't Like Kerouac, Papa
When your father dies of an opioid overdose,
your stepmother will call
at 1:27pm on a gray and freezing January afternoon.
She can't articulate much of anything,
or you can't hear much of anything
or all words are caught and suffocated into a quantum vortex
because you can't remember being told
"your father is dead, and he died from an opiate overdose,"
you only remember suddenly knowing, as the truth
rises from its depression cave
stretches its long limbs,
complains about its back,
puts on thermal long johns, ...

The Seamstress
We used to make potions
her and I
The tub would swell with bubbles
Emptied the shampoo bottles
and our cauldron overflowed
Now she mixes dirt with water
in a little plastic cap
and then sews it into blood embroidery
Sallow lace, scabbing eyelets
I ask if it hurts
If I could follow pains gradient
to back before she became a seamstress
and we were two little witches
stirring pink magic in our tub
she makes one more eyelet in her hand
it is a gaping mouth that speaks in her place
It tells me that one day all I will...
her and I
The tub would swell with bubbles
Emptied the shampoo bottles
and our cauldron overflowed
Now she mixes dirt with water
in a little plastic cap
and then sews it into blood embroidery
Sallow lace, scabbing eyelets

If I could follow pains gradient
to back before she became a seamstress
and we were two little witches
stirring pink magic in our tub
she makes one more eyelet in her hand
it is a gaping mouth that speaks in her place
It tells me that one day all I will...

Love on the point of a needle
It’s like love on the tip of a needle
I look at you you are gone you drift away
Firming up your arm look for a vein I can connect to
I connect to you you drift away from me
It’s like looking for love on a point of a needle
We dream and string out long it’s ephemeral
How come you can’t treat me like I’m love in a needle
We connect and it’s like I’m in a carnival
But after a few minutes I can’t speak
Looking for love on the point of a needle
I look at you you are gone you drift away
Firming up your arm look for a vein I can connect to
I connect to you you drift away from me
It’s like looking for love on a point of a needle
We dream and string out long it’s ephemeral
How come you can’t treat me like I’m love in a needle
We connect and it’s like I’m in a carnival
But after a few minutes I can’t speak
Looking for love on the point of a needle

Shooting for the scars
Discusted by my self
Mirrors make me cringe
Cant stand my own reflection
So I left on a binge.
Suspended in a void
breaking the rules
Yet I just keep pushing
Disappearing from view
I’ve been foolish this far.
Deceit creeping among shadows,
bitterness and toxicity
Leading my way through the shallows
Now completely alone.
Trapped by myself in this uninhabitable zone
The longer I’m here, despair finds me faster. As if from nowhere, stopping abruptly in place.
A Sitting duck, rudely splashed in the face,...

A Habit Forming Love Story
"Tie me off sweetheart", she said.
Sure honey sweetie baby, I love to watch you vomit
Don't get any on my shoes
Oh fuck it, I'm so in love with you
I even love your puke
You have the cutest drool I've ever seen
I think you're the coolest junkie-musician-poet-visionary I've ever shared a needle with
It would be an honor to get a disease from you
I have herpes scars from the best of them
Let's look for a new vein for you
The others are so flat
WOW, you've really been around
I love a woman with experience.
Sure honey sweetie baby, I love to watch you vomit
Don't get any on my shoes
Oh fuck it, I'm so in love with you
I even love your puke
You have the cutest drool I've ever seen
I think you're the coolest junkie-musician-poet-visionary I've ever shared a needle with
It would be an honor to get a disease from you
I have herpes scars from the best of them
Let's look for a new vein for you
The others are so flat
WOW, you've really been around
I love a woman with experience.

An addictive love story
"Tie me off sweetheart", she said.
Sure honey sweetie baby, I love to watch you vomit
Don't get any on my shoes
Oh fuck it, I'm so in love with you
I even love your puke
You have the cutest drool I've ever seen
I think you're the raddest junkie-musician-poet-visionary I've ever shared a needle with
It would be an honor to get a disease from you
I have herpes scars from the best of them
Let's look for a new vein for you
The others are so flat
WOW, you've really been around

Superheroine
The brushed on mask is a metaphor she wore
But she can't hide from my eyes anymore
Her elegant cape is merely a sylish cloak
As the artist within is naturally baroque
Magically she heals my wounded heart
With poetic spills pouring out of her art
Her power arose from a skill to impart
Salacious flows streaming from her amorous heart
She maintains a sky of excellence
Finishing first in each test of endurance
Rising to limitless humbling conquests
Running down all my intellectual protests
My caving resistance is effortlessly...
But she can't hide from my eyes anymore
Her elegant cape is merely a sylish cloak
As the artist within is naturally baroque
Magically she heals my wounded heart
With poetic spills pouring out of her art
Her power arose from a skill to impart
Salacious flows streaming from her amorous heart
She maintains a sky of excellence
Finishing first in each test of endurance
Rising to limitless humbling conquests
Running down all my intellectual protests

The enemy that is me
The emptiness that is filling me
Is suffocating me
Paralyzing me
It’s fucken eating me away
The days fly with no purpose
Meaningless to do lists
To make this existence feel somewhat worth living
Somewhat Ok
I’ve ran all the good parts of me and my shambolic life straight into the ground
To cover the shame I smoke
To forget the failure I smoke
To avoid the guilt I smoke
I don’t even get high anymore
But I smoke to be numb
That’s my favorite place to be

Cleansing
There is something so very consoling for me about the rain
The way the universe speaks,
Perhaps even cries
Expressing itself through the roaring thunder and strikes of lightening
I've always found myself in a state of effortless imperturbabilty
Consuming myself in the rain and all it brings
The feel of it on your skin, the smell, the sound
Bringing life to all on the verge of or that have already died
I could use a good cleansing
I am filthy beyond belief
Beyond what I am willing to admit to myself or say out loud
The...
