Could you call it an anti-massage? my back bunching up of its own accord. Stress sinking to the lines of a body. Going over a hill but there is no hill. *** is...is supposed to be about a kind of abandon ive never felt. An act of letting go. Hold on so tight my mental hands hurt. Mental hands, i bite my nails. The me inside my head does too. Both of me's need to get laid. Ridden into the sunset. Exhausting me. No energy left for the parasite pf anxeiety to latch onto. Let go. Let go. Lets go

The Disease and The Cure
Burning occult logic. A secret sacred savored fire. Burn so bright it'll eat you alive. Bright like a 2 am booklight tired eyes so hungry for knowledge they yawn like little mouths like your mouth...yawning, man do you know what time it is? Time to learn, and read and be and burn.

burning occult logic
The world is a grey buzzing vibration. Pock marked with heartburn and old memories. What winter is colder Than vibrant communication gone silent. Friends Our loves, our various loves. Are the spring and autumn of the heart

Winter is grey and so are we
giving up would be so easy. to be a puddle, a porridge of emotions if you will i try to tell myself the old guard: who will do those things you want to do, if not you. but still. it is a yawning ache. i guess coffee is still a thing that exists. +1 to constitution and alcohol -1 to inhibitions. so. another day i guess.

Once, Curiosity was a beast in me. writ in deep lines and stark highlights it carved itself upon my face. telling a story in the curves and hills and valleys of expression. the passion for life not so much extinguished as a half faded memory this is writ large too, in the bruise colored tired eyes of fatigue. but it is not dead - never that. it howls for the great hunt of life curiosity, passion, ambition and love. still a beast in me. tired, weathered, greyer than ever before, but a tired wolf can still bite.

Tired Wolf
Time is just moments seasons are so short, May, June, July - into the stretching straining warm yawn of fall. Then Detroit's long low hum of a winter. Finances crashing into Needs and wants like waves, like the ocean. Oceans of time, the gentle rhythm of regular mundanity soon turns into later and we, weary traveler turn into causal observer. "I miss you" turns into "what happened?" life flies by in snapshots I don't see. What shape my life might take if you, added like an ingredient in a stew not changing the exact nature of the recipe but enhancing the flavor. but time. like seasons just...passes

life in waves and seasons.
trying to find myself, like a ghost in a snow storm. every time i do this, its like waking up from a dream. a dream in which im watching my life play out. familiar motions keep the appearance of lucidity but its really coordinated stumbling I'm a puppet pulling my own strings, but then, there are days like today - the wind blows just right and i am here. i am here and i am me, and it gives me a headache - but i enjoy it. 10 out of 10, would headache again. i wanted to say to you, all of you know know me and wonder where ive gone even if im right in front of you, that for the moment, i am here i am here now, and i see you, and i love you.

ghost in a snow storm
I have nicknames and designations for all my friends. You, not a ghost but a phantom, not a ghost because you are my friend, always, and I will always love you. But a phantom, an echoed impression of a  old friend. Foggy, misty, silhouetted figure with a familiar outline and unfamiliar details. Looking for the person you wee in the ancient days of my youth like looking for rice in a snowstorm. Not trying to rekindle an old flame you see, but trying to find the fire-words to light a new one.

Fire-words for an old flame
itch and twitch tick and scratch pace and stretch. the prowling Need Craving. Hunger. for *** sometimes comes along not with a hot roiling growl, but with a blind groping. at first you think you're hungry, then maybe, you think: i want coffee but it's still there, that sensation that makes your lip curl up over your teeth, baring your fangs like an animal. your worst enemy then is an empty room. a blank social calendar. then only fantasies notice you.

Sensate
I have such a dreadful sense of motivation. and a strong desire to show you. its beautiful, can you see it? Can you hear it calling you? its calling me. like a voice at the end of a very long hallway i can see the time track in my head, a particular life path shining, humming, vibrant and insane even if achieved it's no less crazy i think the only crazier thing than believing in it would be the Nihilism of believing in nothing. its crazy and i cant. couldnt possibly but i cant stop its not real, right? its just magic, promise me you wont believe a word
