Poetry

No Title

My love is a blank expression
Carried in monotone silence -
The fire of tender gestures
Hushed by a long winter.

The crinkle of Autumn’s slumber
Gave limitation to Summer and Spring,
Their infinite blossom…

Panic Attack

I’ve never actually seen
someone shoot up heroin
in person before,
before today.
Slumped against the entrance
to some public transportation
as people skirt by
as they may.
Where does the line stop
when you stop to help
from when you walk by
like absolutely nothing is wrong?
I’m sorry love.
This life was not meant
to screw you over
and yet somehow
it…

Needless Things

Needful things unmeetable 
An earthen grave of the past, full of fertile soil
Tilled and buried premature
Demons cling to the dirt
A feral oil leaking through the loam’s lice
A primordial wilderness, transcendent beyond kings and queens
And fate’s providence in the grasp of kingdoms,
Loiters hungry…

I think I’m addicted to you.

No, really — like gut-wrenching withdrawals

are hitting me soon
I think I’m addicted to you.

Because around you, there’s this hue.
Black. Then green, then violet, then blue.
and at the center of red,

Shelved Doll

Take a rib from the moment to
Adorn my schema of life
Bigger, it grows, the more bones
Grotesque, more, but here we are, it’s my vision
A sidewalk vein of life, one song in its refrain
Nonetheless some chalk of truth bellowing in the cacophony
One more canvas cadence stuffed down the throat of a moth man…

I am stuck in a box.

I am stuck in a box.

I am not a mime…
I refuse to talk from time to time

I am stuck in this box.

I know, one day I will get out,
but that’s not what this is about.

Maiden Lane

The blood spills from my wrists

Like they are full

Glasses

Gently tipped,

Trickling

Down the stairwell

a poem about lust

They told me not to play games
but oh god how I play
latching
clinging, hopelessly
I’ll slip like the mermaid you sing for
and look away
without a care
when you crash upon the rocks
So much to the theme
for destroying men
but GOD WHY IS SHE DESTROYING THEM
ask…
