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

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
