Blonde Blacklight

A halo
of blonde blacklight
Skin, stretching
A canvas
Luminous
The shadows
are wet

A Glass Plane

Beads of water
cling to the glass edge
I glide along.

Lucid Sky

I've been unaware
holding this head under water
driven in by tiny bones
ossuary of the lines on your
face.

He's been stirring
water pours off as he rises
attracted by brittle bones
sarcophagi of dreams
broken.

Bust

There is no greater clarity,
No greater freedom,
than a pistol barrel
in your mouth.

Summation

I purge sans binge
I ***** scars onto everyone around me.
My guilt: a summation.
Now, if I could only figure out why
I keep sticking fingers down my throat.

The Stones That Cause Me to Drown - Memories

Oh amber, foam-ed memories,
cast about my brain.
The evening tide pulls me away,
sooner than later, I'm afraid.

Swollen Cells

These cells are full
bloated
swollen
the point of splitting,
the membranes taut
rigid with
tension.

Touch me,
ever so gently.

I'll come apart,
a fine mist.
