Black, I, Mountain.
Friday, August 20th, 2010I dedicate this to anyone in the world who has ever had a tiny kit of make up
Hidden, maybe, hidden in the upper right hand corner drawer of the bathroom.
A tiny kit of makeup specifically
for covering up black eyes.
Black eyes given to them by that same person to whom they have said on a daily [...]
Tonight, Saturn is on His Knees
Friday, August 6th, 2010Andrea Gibson has created a very beautiful piece of goodness for y’all to hear.
Listen: Say Yes
Cauterize
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 [...]
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 [...]
