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 [...]
Riot and Rage
Sunday, February 7th, 2010I want to use words like riot and rage
resist and (I) refuse(!)
revolt and rampage.
I want to climb mountains and sing from their ridges
or poison the fountains and burn all the bridges
I want all the answers to climb in my hands
and own lady Time and her infinite sands
I want my echo to be unfathomable.
…
I want to [...]
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

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 [...]
First Cinquain Ever
Monday, December 7th, 2009Challenges
They hurt
We still strive
Sometimes we lose sight
Attainment
HE moves us faster
Sunday, December 6th, 2009I just can’t feel it.
Not like this, not now, not yet
This is not complete.
