32/M/Massachusetts It has been said by the poets that all things have been written, and so it has been written. Here shall I repeat these things - that naught shall be forgot ere darker ages come to pass.
What light through yonder closéd window breaks It is the east And red is the sun And liquid amber Sinking to its home What many flowers bloom here and shimmering catch my eye To die upon my waking or falling to deeper sleep

But, Soft!
I watched you building borders Riding north on golden tigers Feeding famished families All the brass that you could muster Running rackets round rodeo Seeping lifeblood from your victims Until they scrape their tired bones To feed you marrow And yet you've come to loathe The wild children Who Through misanthropic misdemeanors Rage against the dying Of the systems you have set forth To feed into their ire

Hypocritic youth
Jesus Christ! I saw you - Standing naked on that stage That we had made - When we stole your clothes And anglicized your name Oh, what a shame! To be born again - Into the things you hate Oh, what a shame, to be born again! As everything you hate

To Be Born Again
One day I'll wake up To a thunderous applause Then a cackle of laughter And clacking of claws And as truths I've not spoken Are ripped from my jaw I will see that my whole life Was nothing at all But I'm trying to be Whatever it is you said While I'm lost in a minefield Of existential dread

Existential Dread
A piece of myself left behind To fester on that summer day Ripped open for the sun to finally see The rays caressing my bones for the first time My marrow exiting its cave of flesh I am exquisite The rush of what blood I have left to my head As I watch its like pour out onto a blank page I paint a picture with it Try to make it beautiful In the end it is only my blood Blood I did not choose to spill But chose to transfigure

Wounding
Deciduous frost crawls up between my toes My feet sink in the deep mire I pull my left foot out and the right sinks Finding something solid The cold consumes my left leg Chilled and raw in the open air

Cloak yourself in the skins of your idols Dance in the forest under waxing moonlight Draw your blood over the sacred fire Weep ecstatic

Daydreams
Severed sisters addictively Seeking out serendipity Atrophied on antipodes Eating feasts from antiquity

**** Me Up/Cut Me Up/Lock Me Up
At what point does tragedy become regular, mundane irony? Like, why do artists always die in obscurity When everyone else just dies?
