my mind needs more bananas
By Billy | November 29, 2009
empty empty empty empty
somethings in my skin.
mix of ugly
and of stained.
i am growing thin
knot me
ball me
seek me
call me
bend me bend me bend me bend me
too much inside out or sideways
creeping itching tingle
i’m the spot
where home and road
meet but never mingle
blurryandfading anticipating stiffandcracking it’sattacking i
am laying
down
i am laying down
i am
laying
down
to ease this restless syndrome
i’d swallow what you want
to ease this restless syndrome
i’ll follow you, i’ll hunt
let me fit this skin again
dispel the mirror’s lies
please just let me in again
hear these tired sighs
give these eyes their life back
their torches dim and tire
tie me up and light me
martyr me with fire
(martyr me with fire)
murder me
with jealousy
my bloods will call to you
from earth and rock and moss and stone
and tooth and nail. and skin. and bone
make me ache and quiver
make me break.
deliver.
make me hunger
make me thirst
make me full
then make me burst
I am waiting for the blow
to fall on me and make me know
and force me in to something newer
where grass is greener, sky is bluer.
.
Thank you for breathing me.
Thank you for breathing me.
Thank you for breathing me.
(into existence)
(into this calm)
(withandfor)
