the body remembers,
of course it does
so be gentle with it
let it grieve what it bore

people die always,
journals go unwritten and words go unsaid
all of us leave something undone,
something blank, something bland
your family will stare at the journal
for hours, imagine the works you had no time for
and maybe some words were meant to be said, maybe they would’ve kept you, made you laugh
so stay
lie in bed all day and forget to eat
cut yourself and swallow whatever fits
keep yourself quiet and deal on your own
or hopefully don’t, but if you need to in order to stay,
stay

it’s been two years and I can feel who I used to be rotting me from the inside like fruit
i let go of her and i give up all protection, all ive learned
i keep her and only one of us can live inside this body at once
and rotted fruit takes up less space than fresh
at night, when i try to sleep,
ill shake and shudder with the feeling that she’ll always be a part of me

Ich glaube ich liebe dich
Natürlich, wer wurde das nicht?
Ich liebe dich wie ich lese
Ich liebe dich mit ruhe, stille
Nur für mich und dich, eine liebe

23 months ago,
I let myself fall, for the very last time
23 months ago,
I looked at these lines, these scars on these legs of mine
23 months ago,
I let them go to the stars, to the sky
23 months ago,
I picked myself up for the first time

stars on my thighs,
tattooed there one night
i was too lost, too gone
too bad, i wanted them gone
the lines, intertwined
with the stars on my thighs
leaking blood, far too long
the lines on my thighs, i needed them gone
so i pricked, i inked, this image of the sky
to finally be all rid of these razor-left blights

You’re young
Just as all disciples were once
So bite your tongue
And when you pray out for help, ignore the silence
Spend the night drinking
Come to the church with a hangover, your ears ringing
While you pretend to pray
Hope to do it again next Saturday
Look at your first blood
Know Mary did the same thing, only months before her son
Use cotton, and linen, and whatever keeps you clean and groomed
Just like Jesus did to his own wounds
Kiss that girl
That boy too, don’t be scared
Of the temptation, heat rising
Jesus woke as most men do each morning
And when you’re old, all wise and pious
And you’ve forgot the pain of a prayer unanswered
Throw away your experience, your bias
When your child is pubescent in the church, as a non believer

every morning, i sprinkle on a little floral perfume
in a dark red bottle
and spray over it, pink cherry body spray
the one I always wear in the spring
i burnt strawberry incense that night,
with the window open
perhaps in a hope the smoke,
would float these thousands of miles
one day we’ll be in a room
full of screenplays, and poems, and organic chemistry
but for now, i’ll let my floral perfume,
my cherry spray,
and strawberry smoke bring me to you

Soft cherries leaving red
Rain in grass runs brown
An animal in the street, lies dead,
Thunder and rain, fallen trees and people drowned
Nature is beautiful, nature is all
Blood on your crown, with your head held tall
If I must be here
And he must be there
Take this moon-glow lit air,
And use your power
To bring him near

Soft like strawberries in the summer,
Green hands in the shed
You cry about your family, your father
I remind you we’re soon moving away from this dread
I talk about a boy, does he like me?
You tell me to quit, I’m “too good for that”
Your little sister walks in, we ignore her squeals
We crowd into a tent like packrats
How long will we be young?
Only 17 paper cranes by my bed
Up the coast, smoke in our lungs,
By your side, I’ll always be led
