little dark girl with
kind eyes
when it comes time to
use the knife
I won't flinch and
i won't blame
you,
as I drive along the shore alone
as the palms wave,
the ugly heavy palms,
as the living does not arrive
as the dead do not leave,
i won't blame you,
instead
i will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.
little dark girl with kind eyes
you have no
knife. the knife is
mine and i won't use it
yet.

Look into my eyes and you will see no sorrow
I’ve stuffed it in my shoe until tomorrow
Listen to my voice and you will hear no sadness
I’ve bagged it up and replaced it with gladness
Wipe my cheek and you will find no tears
I’ve bottled them up along with my fears
Push all my buttons and you will get no anger
I’ve slipped it in the pocket of a passing stranger
Pierce my heart but I feel no pain
I’ve left it outside to play in the rain
Bite my tongue but I taste no blood
When I bleed, I bleed mud

The writings on the wall
If you don't see it, you might fall
So take a deep breath of air
And get the **** out of there
No need to grab your shoes
If you do, you will surely lose
There's no time to waist
Hurry, before you get erased

They say there are plenty of fish in the sea
But to me, you were the most heavenly
It seemed to me that you were my destiny
But I was blinded by entropy and should have known with certainty
That eventually I would recklessly self-destruct mentally
And ultimately pay the penalty of being left breathless and empty
