ethereal tree of life
tethered roots underground
inspiring me with bravery
golden light abounds
patiently awaiting
cosmic salvation
karmic deeds beget
universal reciprocation

if time is money
isn't it funny
we buy our love
at the store
while you're away
maroon threads drape
over and through
joints ache patiently
levelling tension so meaningful
in windows lies the needle hole
tranquil stitches helical
severed off clean
ten hours and a dream
and when you return
home
a box of love
immaterial
a new iphone

there's a bucket in the corner
where all my love is stored
drawn down blinds
reveal the times
i screamed
and cut the cord
harmonica tears
metal burns
when you're near
cold and calculating
the tide goes out
the audience recedes
to leave their seats
facing away
by the time
the bucket
boils over
you're caught
caught in a wave
it's me
standing
shivering
on
the stage
your mother called last night
saying
"sweetie, please come home"
"the walls are caving in
but the corners,
they've only grown"
call your friend
don't talk to me
keep it quiet
it's so loud
so loud
honey, keep it down
baby, shut your mouth
in here it's so so loud
and i'm trying
so hard
to sleep
dollface aren't you drowning
cutiepie cut your shouting
i can't
get no
no peace
nurse says im gonna flatline
heart humming to the bell chimes
can't see the vertices
and i ain't
ain't got no time
empty room swimming sideways
harmonica waterlogged in
chords collapsing on a tailfin
won't even
can't even
blow it a kiss
and even if it could reach
even if i could speak
would i ever
ever be missed

is my pursuit of the absurd
as a restless endeavor
a result of the scars
where my heart's been severed?

back when it was important to be better than everyone else
i neglected myself
what was mental health
but a distraction from goals that couldn't be quelled
hourglass countdown
mousetrap shout now
never again
"never" is when
he grabs my arm
shirt sleeve tearing pieces stored in box
unbelievably his eyes lock with me
as he shows me the clock
it's 10 PM
do you know if your children's interests still revolve around the weaknesses of others?
keep it that way
keep them under your thumb
digging into their skin
blood laden monkeys paw unfurled
it's the only way they'll ever really get ahead in this world
you see, individuality is just a sin
concocted by philosophers
what keeps your maverick apathetic
they call that fabric softener
black water
coffee packed crying in father's cup
we all know how the story goes
the nail that sticks up

two worlds disjoined
your feet far apart
two inches a year
a hundred miles at heart
may you gain courage
enough to choose a side
absolve yourself of this double life
leave the rift behind
may the ash dissipate
so you may see clear
that our love for you stretches
across the lithosphere
it's not your fault
you had no choice
where to begin
but if you must,
show
them
with grace,
the volcanoes within

enslaved by fire
forced to watch, our souls
collective masochism
hive mind tragedies
the hand that feeds
whose existence is ceased
singing no more
melodies, somber
softly if any
a wince in the ether
beacons deceive her
ripples of light
rorschachs of sky
tearing our pages
erasing guests
laugh at,
meaningless

cover my eyes with foil
my ears with lies
cover my arms with birdseed and honey
watch me collapse
as i roll down the valley
my new friends take my energy
and fly away
so carelessly
but i can't complain
it's the way things are
those who come near
will always run far
a heart once gleeful
now i'll never ask for help
im tired of people
and of myself
if the earth is always
moving through space
if every day occurs
in a different place
then why does it all
feel so same
i am stuck to the ground
asking for change

doom impending right at our fingertips
world ending from lunatics
dissonance amidst
the left and right twix
what bliss
what a spectacle
the venn diagram between climate deniers and conspiracy theorists from the top down it's helical
electric vehicles
made to save an industry
to keep folks from working public service
so that they stay in factories
political pageantries
ocean acidification
chronic substantiation
they still don't believe
the data don't mean nothing to them
cause they never learned how to read
oklahoma senators bringing in snowballs
cause they got no ***** to admit
what they perpetuating is all false
factory farms with fake causes
free admission to the zero emissions show
with zero promises
corporate underbellies with no structural integrity
ignoring somber melodies
eating BP and jelly
in a dismal schism
no light for my prism
prisoner to capitalism
dreaming to cope
in a grayscale class
if i drop the soap
just greenwash my ***

Sometimes I wish I was a cow
Blessed with ignorance
Unaware of sorrow
Of anger
Of violence
Of remorse
Sometimes I wish I was a dog
Incapable of rage
Forgiving to a fault
Free from the burden of regret
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t at all.
