19/F/A Small Corner of Hell Gregg Araki superfan. 19 and decrepit. Holden Caufield apologist. Super Duper Doomed!!
Do you think of me? With the back of my hand clasped between these teeth And how? Tell it to me plainly through the lines on your palms And whisper into my mouth, Where And wherever won't matter; We don't hear each other Bells won't sound when I know it's over Only the outcry of a forlorn rooster Sung without a shadow of a doubt

Nightstand
The tongue is the morning star Crushed tin Flailing aluminum stakes Strapped to the *** with diet cola cans Sweet and sticky Sweating in the hot summer sun A Sky blue blanket abuzz with gnats Say it's over Blasting out Say it's over Burning up Say it's over Say it's over

Face it
I sit in my Small plastic chair In my isolated one-house School room The empty alarm rings A protean tune for two Me, sat still Legs folded, the smell of pencil shavings in the air And you, running through the hallway Breakneck speed, lips parted, teeth bared Do it to me because You have to Because I am a fool Not quite tall enough to Take it from you

Holding Out
Lit tunnels and less lit tunnels Where is the light at the end? I want the warmth of the train's headlights And I want the conductor to feel bad When his breaks don't work in time Inescapable Death Upon Impact You can try and lift both feet off the tracks Hurl your torch into the groaning abyss Pry the railway from the ground Alas What goes up Must come down Every flame that flares in Must fade out

Lynchless
Bittersweet to remember The hands that held you Before they beat and bludgeoned You and the potential you once possessed Cast off into the sinisterly sultry embrace of eager Sharp-toothed Thirsty mouths Only to serve shadowy dead-end escapes Perfectionist performers Putting on unsatisfactory performances For insatiable audiences How could any of us stand to forgive each other? Let alone Ourselves

Now That You're In Hospice I'm Not Sure What To Do
Black Coffee, 2 packs of Cigarettes, Cold Sweat, Quantum Leap Will today be a good day? Is life worth living? The answer bellows back at me Soft and Sharp and Sordid; sinopia spilt and subsequently washed all over the page Slithering out from beneath harrowed brush Written in hot breath fingerpaintings on frosted car windows Dished out in massive, steaming vats With ladles, Too heavy to hold

Counterfeit Icelandic Cynosure
It is rooted to my teeth my stomach my nostrils my nasal cavities It rustles when I breathe in It begs for more when I bite It screams when I swallow I cannot be your choir boy And I will not kiss you not today not tomorrow not tonight

The Unforgiving Evil Deep Within
Lying on my back in the sand Dead fish flop desperately underneath my spine Cold Whispering Corners of my vision Taxidermied owl Taxidermied swallow Pinned Cicada Etched with defeat. Roar of the ocean Flopping fish You wave its fins in my face and Run away when I wave back.

40 F
The eternally dry patch of skin Right above your elbow The creased duvet A sea of olive silk The toughest pill to swallow Better taken by mouth

Husk Husk Husk
Bright plum lips Bitter to the taste Soured and untouched Sweetheart angel baby divine Salvaged by time A little bit of sugar A little bit of salt A little sip of red wine Sweetheart angel baby you're so fine Come on Pucker up Let's see you shine Do you want her on a stake? A skewer? A fig tree? See? She can be yours and yours and yours and even mine And she wants you so bad it hurts to breathe And she wants you so bad it hurts to breathe And she wants you so bad It hurts To breathe Religiously, religiously, religiously
