Friday, April 30th, 2010The words wont change, the paper won’t let it. My reality is too hard between the two of us.
There they sit. Praise God. GOD. Perfect. Dance. Hope.
They refuse to burn.

I wouldn’t have known what to say.
So I’m glad I wasn’t there.
I can sing this out now.
I don’t think you’d care.
Framing, burning, eating. All at the [...]
Words that Echo in our Souls
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010The sun goes down and
sometimes the worlds very dark
and it’s called night time.
f(conjunction) = 1, 2.
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010and you don’t understand the way that I feel
and it’s not nearly my own fault.
and it’s not yours.
and that’s why we need to let it be.
and he doesn’t understand either, but he does just that.
and she doesn’t even know.
but she would if she did.
and you, of all, you. you don’t do anything.
but for me you [...]
The Newness of the Mourning.
Monday, February 22nd, 2010the newness of morning had not yet departed.
she sat patiently by the door
waiting to slip silently into
wherever she goes when she’s gone.
and the sunlight gently kissed my eyelids
almost reminding me of an ill fated lover.
the one of whom i am sweetly unaware
while i carelessly forgot my dreams.
she and all her glory
almost
almost made it
but a click [...]
Monsters
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I fell for the lie of a world where control
was something i held in my hand
i know i will die
if i give up my soul
and let things exist as they’re planned
i fell for the sparkling of choices
and chose to ignore what was coming
i swallowed the barking and voices
i choked hard but just kept on humming
if [...]
My Autobiography. My Body
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010It’s tougher, it’s darker, it stands up above.
They’re shamefilled neglections of infinite love.
They itch and they scream and they catch every seam
and they live with me
grow with me
ache with me
long with me
like confused distant memories
of probably-dream.
And I can’t say I’m proud, regretful, or pleased
when I look at the remnants of quilt that I’ve teased.
I just [...]
Mammon. .בהמות
Sunday, December 27th, 2009We
the humans of the untied states
the hungry ghosts
the untouchable aching
-
We are
the air you breathe. The shit you smell. The flesh you rend. The tears you shed.
We are looking
all. the. time.
for substance.
for truth.
for you.
-
Where are you? Whom do you love?
Why are you waiting?
We ache, we cringe, we smile.
We ignore what we defile.
We eat the filth that we [...]
Hungry
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009am i looking for you
am i looking for you
am i looking for you
am i looking for you
in the wrong
wrong
places?
am i hearing my name
is it really you?
are you calling for me
like i think you do?
am i completely lost and misguided here?
do i have the grace of meeting you?
am i looking
am i looking
am i looking
for you?
i keep [...]
Who are we
Saturday, December 12th, 2009Who am I
to lay down my life
or even worse
to lay down my dagger
who am I to love you
while you destroy my home and family
I’m tired of these tired old “answers”
plaguing our children
and growing like cancers
Worried about these useless solutions
stroking our guns at our revolutions
Who am I?
(No.) Who are you?
I am a human who recently [...]
Saying this out loud.
Thursday, December 10th, 2009they must have been tiny
they who stole what’s mine
one day I woke up
and everything was fine
i went to sleep
and dreamt
and woke
and slept
and broke
one through infinity
clogged and unclean
no, i wont let you
know what i mean
there’s both
at the same time
too much and too little
there’s neither
either
hope
or despair
it hurts
you know
to go on like this
to breathe
and walk
and sigh
and be
and all [...]
