en something better than all that crap earlier idk
what i was thinking
On the other side there’s a dark space where it
Stretches out its arms and legs and sails effortlessly to whichever world it wants to
With colorless shapeless hair, lengthless nails,
Beautiful and horrible, night angel.
Taking to slaughtering flights with her shattered remorse,
Screams in anguish as
Existence, yet again,
Fails to pass her by.
Closes her eyes to cry the hurt from her brain,
A twisted, abuse’d thing,
Only fusing like glass when they open again.
Three ruby crystals bless her face,
Like nervous things in the night, or the eyes of
A killing bird turned sacred,
Yet retaining some natural pattern to their wings,
Life in citation, for
A lack of nature in that sadistic machination,
A briar of curve’d truths and the moons cold light.

like these I dont blame you
Jets passing through an airspace,
Jets passing across an open sky,
I’ve let them grow too long,
White fingernail scratches on an open sky.
Let’s get started,
Smile on my face, cloud sunset horizon,
That sets and rises, disk scratch comprisement
Meant for two eyes so it lies then,
Everyone’s got ten using each one or
Trying, somber card and the air’s thin
Quiet canines kept in their sheathes
Smile wide with a dark grin
Quiet glances in holsters they solely for
Spiders tightroping crystals the
Skin peeling back present wrappers.
You get a smile try and catch it now,
Use both eyes you can catch it now.
Trying to say, today I have no particularly
Strong emotions, thinking I could have
Something left inside those doors
That seem so grand and ornate
Whose opening is as a crack of thunder
Not quick but heart wrenching
To leave cynicism to the wonder of those doors
And find them less than ordinary
That even as the grand hall is empty,
Cold, dark with chiseled sunlight,
Its emptiness could compare, and
With inking love become a spectacle.

Rhythm Rain –
Rhythm rain, crackle drumming beat,
Coldly feigned, singing solemnly,
Wooden bars, pounding hatching deep,
Metal ringing thoughts and apologies. The first
Step lands firm, second step falls shallow,
Third breath underwater, fourth pain feels hollow,
Thirty raindrops later fifth step slips under
Sixth pain is my head inflicting two blackouts and my
Eyes don’t want to open, kick board breaking thunder,
On the ground amidst sea mist ear buzz
Feedback wind formed flame hiss grief trips
And what does,
Thoughts wrack hate born sore wrist sunder
And I can hear the rhythm rain.
And there’s more coming soon.
Haircut –
Waiting, for the next haircut,
Bothers I don’t remember, as water filled the air
This October, now I’m waiting
For my next impulse, the next
Time I feel a pulse of identity, something
Asks if I’m happy, dark in my ear,
As if I could stop myself, I think,
What’s been right, dulcet sound,
It hasn’t, giving forth,
Shadows say I have no right to know,
No, pause, no right,
And water collects in my hands.
Unrest –
Unrest for my hands, curves,
stroke the air,
Over and over they fold like waves,
Up to my neck, down to the page,
In pairs they shape the world.
The Knot –
I’m a knot, pulled, pulled,
Tighter, tighter,
Every day I’m sick,
Am I breathing?
Love Memories –
Love, I miss love, I miss fingers
I miss folds, and
Laughter is torture,
The shortest, sweetest, fading feeling.
Waste –
I’m not compelled to my own nature,
Love, martyrs made for saving, mending,
Love, moment’s search for feeling, kissing,
Scars, protect in showing, hiding,
Despair, daily name of memory.
Quiet Letter –
I want to rip it out of my skin,
Falsehoods, abominations,
Freedom has decided it’s in control and
Have I the strength, pushed to my knees,
Was it that I tried to stand?
Green mountain –
Green mountain,
Top, knee bent from under sheets almost
But soft from the grey sky,
Bursting pink, burning orange, freezing blue,
Melding, molding their undergrowth
The world, all that rises
Brain grows vines over stone cutting edge
What would it be without you?
Disturbed –
Walking to the car
Brushed, surprise, a thought or
A spiderweb catches, on my leg,
Feels as though it should slip past but
It doesn’t, walking,
Cold droplet strikes my shoulder or
Another moment, no longer watching the path
In front of me, blurred,
A falling leaf at my chest, change’s embrace, or
A dull pain.
Heat of an Incandescent –
Heated bones flex, live wire veins,
Blue light, black heat,
Slow completing painting of
A dark room, and two humans.
On the wall twenty colours,
On the heart, uptime,
Fingers plug circuit breakers,
Pain is a flash, iris depth, then
The venom withdraws, pressed to night comfort form that
Searches each tear in lamp-light.

Guarding, quiet hands,
Arrest my sight, loving touch,
Cold and homely black.
Lacquer on my hands,
Smells of love and death, or else,
It has no likeness.
The pen twirls in dance,
Fumbling in wait, mine are
Novice fingers, -crash!
