Katabasis

When the figure in black

Comes to collect

The tarsier which hit its head

Against the wall

Again, again

Until it forced a morbid end

Since forever

Together we play at one calamity for fun

Facing soft and scripted fears that we can overcome

Do overcome

With gusto and with fervor

Puddleglum

Sky clear for half an hour

Packed

little wishes in my canvas sack

Took a walk for you

Gave up double masks

Mon Ami

Tearing daisy petals off

"He loves me not, he loves me not"

You don't need oracles to know

"He loves me not, he'd watch me rot

Epicurean

Food can be trouble

I've done so much cooking

Occasionally it becomes molecule soup

How different is pad Thai

To a grinder, really?

Drive train gear 2

Sun tripled by glass and cracked black exoskeleton

Threatening to melt batteries, skin from bone, and the

waxed paper bags that I filled with future fat sitting saturated: parallel my swimming in sweat

Noitulove

I stand in the shower, smiling, alone

Though I am exhausted my pride is untouchable

fear scented sweat and cold cigarette smoke

spiral out of the drain, crawling back up my legs

to be mixed with a unknown stranger's soap

My soft leather jacket, my shoes, and my jeans,

fit themselves wet to my skin like a peel

as the water hits steaming, I turn it to cold

grinning anxiously back into sunken eyeholes

Before cracking the door to a house I don't know to

Deadwood

Look;
No heart inside my chest,
Open hole to
Aorta pumping
uncut hope
Onto everyone I touch
But it’s better, I know,
Cause when I had a heart
it was bitter and cold

Prodigal

Too old for awkward despondency and angst
S’posed to swallow discomfort silently once past a certain age
Babe’s bubblegum amoxicillin to nan’s ten-horsepill-tuesdays
It’s not that its stuck in my throat that’s the problem
but the fact that it all comes back up anyway

Match Made in Purgatory

Hello, Lady. Could you be more cruel? 
do you think that's how I wanted to picture you?
fawning for your chew toy, full of fluids
I know we've both been open but it's fairly rude. 
Like, bitch, "I'm triggered" but genuine
pull my anxiety strings like a mannequin 
you're either ignorant of the damage done
or you find pleasure in digging that needle in

Bildungsro-wtf

Twenty four arms, black and void
all from my center writhing,
While unknowable electric pulses
center in my spine And,
towering tall, grotesque in might,
Unfairly thriving I drink deeply,
my skin laps up blist'ring sunlight
and it tastes ambrosial sweet so

Homo Saevus

Sapiens is always filthy
We're efficient
We're corrupt
We can root out greener pastures
We will crush them into dust
we will fortify our towers
We will drink with fearsome lust
From the gentle valley rivers
From the oceans, black and rough.

Happy Nightmares

Last night I dreamed that you forgave me
All my burdens washed away and
All I had to do was say,
I wanted this. That I was ready

We came together in a loft
just like the one in RRG

Dreamcatcher

I would drink you ‘til I drown 
It seems I've no control in this. 
I tried to master my own world so
I would never hurt again
But in severe sterility I let robots and  demons win
And though we may makes jokes and grin 
That we are monsters and machines…

Bubble

Swear there’s a swelling in my soul that
makes me dream neurotic things, it
puts a pressure in my brain it
gives its blessing to my whims and

Rickroll

Family thinks it’s peace to know that "God forgives me".

But you won't

I could walk 500 miles to fall down at your door and choke,
right?

Green Man

Rise shining, stiff back scratch on bark
That's cracked as wide as shins and shoulders
Grip a brisk grin twixt my teeth
Sprint off, full of lust and wonder
Crush n crumble patterned lichen
scrambling over boulders…
