Dream Home


when you wake up and are still dreaming
i am left with two hands walking
legs weren’t enough for the king of cats
who lured me out of a dreamscape nap
my scarred and scary lioness escaped
my stomach kennel ache untamed
and ate your stomach out instead
she found a whole new home in death
in depth within a terror filled moan
and grinned ringed teeth of towered bone
children waving out the windows
clotheslined linens billow westwards
these are just a frame of reference
guiding her back home

2 Many 2 Heavy 2 Little 2 Late

my tongue has needed some reason
to give its lick at love for once
o yet my eyes gloomy and bright
sparkle moveable diamonds
hanging in infinite headspace
pull in meanings for
heart
o heart you get all the boys
o heart you get all the pain you poor fool
why does love belong to me?
my body feels strange knowing it’s harboring this capacity
so put it elsewhere!
put it in the sheets themselves
let them remain
as i do not
neither do you
i haven’t made my bed in weeks
i sleep on the floor
drawing the indent from your body
that you left behind
there is a strange depth that my pencil cannot etch
there is a bad bend in the bed it cannot get
about love
that only i can fit

Accosted Acrostic

Palatable only on the second helping
Are you home long enough to care
Reading letters sent from dead people
There is still some perfume haunting
In the apartment
Carelessly I undress
Unaware of the ghost
Lingering in my nostrils
Analyzing my bare
Ribcage

Early morning sun blinks
Xerox bright copies
Pumping motionless day
Eerily distant like
Radiance without glow
Indifferent mornings
Existing without the same grudge
Now we can be better
Can believe in our love
Exalted from our histories

Starving Eyes


i pawned you and split tails for your headhunt
made more money in one night
larger stacks than i could fill the tub with
came home late
wondered who had eaten my leftovers
gave up quickly and crept into the windowsill
a nest had buried there
i slid my tongue in and tasted some wild berries
they weren’t my dinner
and the karma had caught up to us both by that point
i unscrewed a light bulb from above my head
and sat in the dark kitchen
the linoleum felt nice on my cheek
it was a cold night
but I was still hot
i was looking in the fridge
waiting for something to happen
you are so pretty
i can’t even stop looking at you
the image fits into my eyes so frantically
as though my pupils have been carved to your shape
i thought i had devoured you completely
i shouldn't be this hungry still

Static

i'm not noise
i'm not bad noise
i'm not anything that comes and goes
i'm not some vibration in head
i'm just someone you loved and then
released

Thanks But No Thanks


I am mostly burning brains
headache hungry
there’s a tap running out of my skull
overflowing tubs of horny highs
messing up my mouth
with these lullaby cries
have to kiss in quicksand
like a tarzan movie scene
handsome hair swinging vines
from atop the chimpanzees
his wanting flaunting
my wanton capsizing
describing himself to me hurriedly
i am half listening half wit
uppercut upchuck yuck your not doing it right
need more to eat need comfier sleep
a love lit eye and a dull eye meet
i practice arts beyond my artistry
spell words misplaced like bad grammatically
have no real plans but dwindling gently
i’ll sleep better
when i wake up happy

8.8.11

Nonsense

i am a flower bottomed fool
hunting arachnids at dawn
shrilling flat notes across still water
shoulder straps fainting
lucidly down white tenders
i sit and wait for my lover
who smells like me
has no money
nor an interesting thing to talk about
remember in my story
how you wept on the monument
your tears staining the feet of soldiers
row men
who killed amply and without judgment
your eyes do that now
rip throats out from beneath my fairy tales
your hands are deeper then they used to be
i think you’ve burnt a real levy this time
the shores agree and mock my tone
creeping
like your hair brushed along my back
im soothed by the patience
and friendly eyes
are beaming love knots
tying me to a fever
that begins below the skin
have me for dinner
and don’t look at me once
just mouth words
like pacifier
and forget-me-not
wishes like be the one
please i beg
for scraps from the table
bits of meats
ripped with your teeth
glistening with your spit
the devouring of my mind

Taw-Daw

Traumatic True Romantic


Love is a word
with many meanings
and here it is unlove
the spell of rotten ambition
the situationally fucked upped

A spiral slope
to black hole porcelain
flushing me out like a toilet
this circum center is where we exist
the helix down to suction point

I’ve continued this secret thought
that we are two intertwined souls
spinning on the life strings
the twisted sign of infinity
destroying ourselves for each other every chance we get

Then these bad omens
should they crow and keep me away
or is it the end of me
each time looking me in the eye says
I could feel for you

Two people
feigning humility the humanity the empathy
in time they spawn one little one
to burn holes through the hearts of man
and burning scorch the books or the masses or the skyscrapers

You are my center point love
fear and time cascading across this level of life
this level where we talk meet face to face
and commune business strategies
all while pretending that we’re not really dying at 1000 rates per minute

The worlds between us levitate and coexist
like some listless state of mind
I am not your friend by any means
I want the savage capacities of man
shredding me up drinking my blood

I have already told you about
the vampire dreams
and how I am so spiritually seduced by you
this life the lonely heat
how there are no rules to the laws of fate

Endless Thought <> Spiral Explosion


how shocking it is
every time the same thing happens every
time chopping at a future told
as endlessly as hair grows down
time swoons and braids
knots and gets caught in my petting hand
a coiled softness
fond of rats nests
sour milky eyes
matted wet drool
pillow stains
a bed of crumbs
numb tingling sensation in the brain
tasteless tongues

MuRMuR


Old mottos resurfaced in a strange land
Ogling blindly eyeballs all over the horizontal landscapes
Laying with my head upside dangling from the bed
Drunk wobbling it up now to find balanced faces like demi-demon ghosts white haunting
panting voices and legs like days dwindling each other down with nail file twine
How long would it take to cut open your arm with an unlit candle?
Rub at it turning the wax skin and burn
I got your half blood head fang hanging over my bed now
It bleeds on me still
Drips in my mouth while I rest
It tastes okay I guess
What kind of flavour is this?
This popsicle is too hot
I need your mouth right to come
Even eyelids glitter when you're crying dear
The spot is less then complimentary
But I do like your ears still

Magritte, The Lovers, and Me, Alone




The End
