Tell me
how did it feel?
when you stood there
out on the reels
looking down
from the building
did night
lean
apologetic
against you?
Sometimes I bleed
unfinished letters
my pencil hesitant
opening into acceptance
revealing how
he must have landed in my heart chamber
when he jumped from the 14th floor
I incubated lavender in each splinter
knowing it is his birthday soon
and once again I remember
how his chestnut hair ...

Mommy, come look!!
Daddy pointed a gun at his face and fired it!
He won't get up
Mommy, he's funny looking, come look!!

Only in life you'll feel this pain
Phone calls, friends, Valentine's Day cards, cats, birthday parties and the countless games that make people hurt, cry, laugh etc.
These things are hands that stick out the window and catch you and break your fall after you have thrown yourself off the roof
The sound of their voices, the pain they inflict, the games they play
The noise
The noise keeps you from going insane
It keeps your mind off your mind
Down the road in an ordinary house of the alive, there is darkness & silence
You can hear the water dripping off the roof of your skull
There's...

Attention K-Mart Shoppers
Jennifer, who would ever think that your trail would end at K-Mart
Did anyone tell you?
If you were alive right now
I mean if your brains hadn't been blown out of your skull with that shotgun you put to it
Would you have believed you would have done such a thing?
Jennifer, you didn't see what I saw
Oh girl,
Some kid had a hunk of your brains in a cheeseburger wrapper and was showing it to people
I went to the place where you shot yourself
You know the place I'm talking about
You were there about 26 hours before me
Jennifer, I searched...

Oh girl,

I went to the place where you shot yourself
You know the place I'm talking about
You were there about 26 hours before me

the line beneath the metaphors
You ask me how I am
and we talk around the problem
your frustration
my lingering silence
if I don't tell you what's wrong
it won't make this real
I dream of ocean tides
pulling me under
it's only half a metaphor
I'm both the victim
and the predator
Top me up with dopamine
readjust these mood drops with Prozac
and enough talk therapy
to make me lose my voice
and the desire to set
my own mind on fire
You ask me how I am
and I dodge the question
like I dodge every...
and we talk around the problem

my lingering silence

I heard she's happier now
A husband & wife living in Philadelphia had been married for over 25 years. He faithfully visited his wife in the hospital everyday, where she laid in a coma for several months in 1999 with little hope for recovery. Distraught over the loss of his longtime companion, the husband committed suicide in their home. Hours later, his wife woke up!

Keep trying until you get it right
Two hours ago
I tried to take my own life
I'll try again soon
I tried to take my own life
I'll try again soon

Flowers for Confessors
after TS Eliot
Anne Sexton was obsessed with death,
That bellringer, this gravedigger.
In stylish dress, with gin-smoked breath,
Her corpse lolled in the gas-drenched car.
Cocktail sticks poke out her eyes,
The housewife’s life in grim surmise.
Measured out in olives, parts,
Domestic violence, artichoke hearts.
Plath, I guess, preceded her,
As death begets, like rabbits breed.
She sought a solace in the slur
Against fathers, the daughter’s need.
She knew the pain of too much sense,
The flowers...

After Her Burial
When I reach into your pocket
That's when I lose control
I can feel your crotch and how wet you are
Nobody knows freedom until you orgasm
My place or yours?
My place has a better view of the old oak tree that you worship
C'mon let's go
That's ok that your one with the trees, I get it
After we fuck and experience freedom, we can climb that tree to the top
Reality will creep back into our lives again
We hate it!
We need to experience euphoria in our own utopia... forever
If you reach the top before me, make a wish and then jump ...
That's when I lose control
I can feel your crotch and how wet you are
Nobody knows freedom until you orgasm
My place or yours?
My place has a better view of the old oak tree that you worship
C'mon let's go

After we fuck and experience freedom, we can climb that tree to the top
Reality will creep back into our lives again

A Beautiful Sight
I looked out my window last night
On the ledge above me I looked up and a pair of shoe tips were balancing precariously on the edge
I hear a voice, a man's voice:
"Sara, are you listening to me you goddamned whore!? Sara, you bitch, I'm gonna do it this time!"
A man falls past my window and lands with a horrifying thud onto the sidewalk
There's a knock at my door
I turn from the window
I walk to the door and open it
It's Sara
She's smiling
