(the last rites)
the uprising forc'd me out.. .
to live co-dependently in a foreign body abandon'd by it's own soft nature ..
this is my forever punishment, for being malleable under his touch that transmut'd my cells into intimate and prolific places where I would place secretions of untold things upon his lips and whisper
"Your frail jaw belongs to me"
a slight glisten of salvia drip from the corners of my mouth then settle at the
edge of my chin because he knows .. §dripping echoes continue§ he fucking knows ...

Evermore beastly behavior
is baked into the beast at birth
from which we want a savior
whose sin wage restitution worth...
has set Scot free the evil deeds
which morphed our heaven to the hell
where avarice still further breeds
more fugly plastic shit to sell...
with carcinogens where we live
to taint all that we breathe and eat
and snare in the cellular sieve
of every type of creature meat...
proving that the savior we need
is one last techno wizard trick
that nulls the damage done by greed...

truth or err
26 of 30
to find my own feet
is a constant battle for balance
checking my gut...
against what's actually heard
here's the thing that's hardest
{for me}
when they speak...
what do they really mean
& what's no more...
than muffled echoes
grating against my sensitive scars
{sandpaper grit over sunburnt skin}
how do I listen
...with clarity
letting my damage feel protected
while I strive to hear reality
because with unintentional filters...
...everything is affected
...

Lost in Translation
Mr Yang on the other side
of the curtain speaks no English
but the nurses and aides still try
Do you know where you are, one asks, to which Mr Yang replies,
"$%#4&^^!" The nurse doubles down, slowly and loudly enough to drown out CNN (which I count as a blessing)
DOOO YOOOOUUUU KNOOOOW
WHERRRRE YOUUUU ARRREE???
to which I add beneath my breath, "In the grand scheme of things..."

.. what were you thinking ,
as you tuck'd and sow'd yourself inside my soul

an means of honour far more left, p'haps

without letting go
I've come to the painful conclusion
that moments are limitless after all's . ..

Do you have compassion
I will always follow you to the end of time, for I will follow you in my need to sustain my life, for I will follow you as you have inspire me to think for thyself 🤔 in all my life situations, that seems to have me feeling like I'm drowning, in the sea of death and fear. 😨 For sure I will always follow you, as my thoughts become dangerous, to my own well being. 😞 For sure I will follow you as my life, becomes filled with nothing but confusion, and negative vibes, driving 😕 me on a two way street, yet going the wrong way. 😕 AS if I got a death wish that...

feral pit bulls of the runaway

It's all in your mind
Hope
Fuck hope
Hope is a pig
Kick it, murder it
Annihilate it
Hope for hope?
To be full of hope is to be full of shit
Hope is a weapon used against you
Hope costs money, you always pay
You're always hoping that your god hears you
Do you truly believe that?!?
It's all in your mind
Fuck hope
Hope is a pig
Kick it, murder it
Annihilate it

Hope is a weapon used against you
Hope costs money, you always pay
You're always hoping that your god hears you
Do you truly believe that?!?

Shelter Another
He gave the golden chain
and she, the pendant,
so I pieced them together.
Togetherness,
a word they often found unfamiliar,
as if they were two magnets
facing the same pole,
pushing each other apart,
refusing to stand near.
So I kept the necklace,
clasped and settled against my heart,
closer than they’d ever been.
The crib I first woke up in
was far from their hold,
and neither tried to reach for it.
The ground grazed my knees,
as I...

Who Are You?
Friends put knives to your throat,
And remind you that you're alone.
Dominating you, and trying to control,
The 7 ounces of your soul.
But I seek out from below.
Their gaseous body will surely implode.
They put their guns in your face.
And let everyone they know gang rape.
Am I accepted and part of the whole?
Or am I just their weekend hoe?
I wake up knowing I'm alone.
With a knife to my throat.
Who are you trying to take my soul?
Friend or demon. I'll never know.
And remind you that you're alone.
Dominating you, and trying to control,
The 7 ounces of your soul.
But I seek out from below.
Their gaseous body will surely implode.
They put their guns in your face.
And let everyone they know gang rape.
Am I accepted and part of the whole?
Or am I just their weekend hoe?
I wake up knowing I'm alone.
With a knife to my throat.
Who are you trying to take my soul?
Friend or demon. I'll never know.

Strip For Me
I got me a lap dance.
Don't need to try,
To get in her pants.
They're gone.
And I'm just there,
For the big and brawn.
Sipping this martini,
Enjoying the porn.
Can't wait for this horny guy,
To come and join.
We'll gamble 'til the light of dawn.
Who gets the dance?
We'll flip a coin.
Ill mind fuck him,
While she gets him on.
He's distracted,
So I know I've won.
Now let's get going.
The sun is out.
Let's do a dance, at your house.
Id love to whip these titties out. ...

Big Black Bird
Madness
Humming, an old woman rocks herself
A man repeats a word again and again
Two older women are fighting for a doll
Somewhere a. radio is blaring loud
Another ordinary day begins as usual
And I am part of this community of fate
My new home is a caring home
Defect entity
A thinking mind and a loving heart
Locked in a frail disabled body
One of God"s abandoned children
Superfluous and useless for society
Mercíless sorted out and deported
A deeply desperate fallen angel
With unsuitable disheveled wings ...
