South Africa I'm not sure where I'm going but I'm getting pretty close.
Starting is hard Growth maltese candles The painted board next to me Where i sleep Cars, unrelenting bring an incessant drone That lulls Exstasis Mechanised intrusion grants The brevity of randomized input The aversion of direction This isn't a poem Nor is it not a poem This is a home This is a home Shampoo crease salt licks Salt salt salt salt salt salt salt Salt salt salt salt salt salt salt Not that but there was something else. Not what just happened but something else I remember when i try not to. I always forget when i try. I can feel it It's not suppose to be remembered It's there to be felt Something like that Something similar Im not going to just say 'something' on a single line Nope no. Nothing That was ordained Now this is nonsensical As if any of it was. Reading Nothing yet Nothing worth saying Yet Yet. Yes Ending is hard

It feels like sand on my breath Like dunes in my chest They are silent But they are not still Heaving gross quarter Leaking for most water The unscratchable itch Can it be denied, of which I am left outside, neck twitch. Hands force paint in from closed 4 seaters Enough Enough It subsides As do my words Am i anything without my words Would i choose words over feeling He said, as all the dry paint dripped from the ceiling And there was love. Nestled in the corner A concave attitude begged no less of what there was to offer. And we gave and gave. Stretched innards in closed fists Adorned by salesman with neat. With neat. Withering, neat. Forgiven heat. Not much to give But we must eat. Die and let live For the succession of wheat. Basket bare more than their share. While the humans are simply denied theirs. When. When does this part end. Soon i hope. As if there were something. Something to be had. After. Besides the calm. When the calm let's us notice our own distaste in it. Not that the tree trunk needed that. That hug. But it helped the armless. Armless. Or was it a kiss. The mouthless. Something dark. Force them to spit. Ask them to sit. Did that have to rhyme. Did any of this have to. Did it take away. From Take away from. Cultured eyed breast sore Vultures hide crest something

Coastal seizures. So sand fills a sun-kissed cheek. Boasted features, hands lull movement in hips so meek. Thumbs peel lids to stretch the Sun into clefts that reflexes forget Two fingers press against throats and ears to breaths. Palms press ditches in chests to remind hearts of blood to teach. Lungs keep secrets that tongueless kisses were made to reach. Salt water rinses cheeks of death and cold stares Paroxysms exhume life in the form of humid air. Grief slowed as tides fell. Teeth locked as cheeks swell. Water took softly what it had let go More than shook fondly but it had let grow.

I.) Bodies of Open lakes are naked Their secrets, Rub like salt. How did one get here What seized the labour of hands. Do we deserve to know. Do we deserve to know the extent. Do we deserve to know the extent of our own subjugation. Knees meet dry earth. It's dry where we forget to water it Not that it needs water, Salt finds form In our negligence. Arid insincerity spoke of more. II.) To follow We left. We did not need to stay A dry sterile whisper kept us there With it's pleas for us to leave. The trust of invitation, Burnt holes in our wings. Untrust of warning, Had us leaving without our things I don't know which is better. A departure announced drew heed to soft cartilage. Unsharpened curfue split bone without piercing the skin. The expression of self. Callous wanderers knocked at no doors; to accept rejection. III.) Reintegration of being The want of murmurs in wanton misuse Kept us foraging for lust, For more, For inability in casualty. We waited for forest to arrive, Bare earth begged of no candour, Trees deny script. Unclenched hands greyed over context As purpose gave none where some was due. IV.) What the stars offered A quest unrelenting bends bark in fervour. Do we know why we left, Cold hands hock at swords needed to keep slight wrists in check. Or where we are going, Our aimless pacing finds direction in blind eyes and guided hearts. All the dust settled, buried in puddles like art. And the thunder was there The thunder never knelt But we listened To listen was the choice. A brief connection with the sky Through it's reproach It implored for something more, Only upon deaf ears. Was earth all there was to rain on? We thought, as the stars spat on us. Celestial offering in cleanse not spite. V.) Love Maybe that's why we left. To trascend our own ideas of love. Innocent foliage made the path harder to see, But easier to tread. Gentle arches hug mounds of green Like finger tips kissed by yonic flesh. To remember the conception in contact, Was to recognize our own affirmation And any word intended for the ears of the unknown. Blood is replaced where word is love. VI.) Relation to self To stay or leave was not the choice The distance from anything was illusory. The real choice, was acceptance of self. After the end of our disintegration, The dry heave, Leaving without hesitation; We are not without ourselves.

A hyperactivity that sees no expression Lack of divinity that bleeds from intention. False flag débutante gives warning of cluster **** Salt bag-bread crumbs gets poured into flustered cuts. Deeper into forest fervor, I hope the hounds don't lick it up Creeping into ogham order, I hope god's wounds will be enough.

Gretel stare
You're soft and clean. Nostalgia fills the throats of Cherubs, The milk allows them that respite. Hoarse valleys are no longer bare. Wings, like lips, flutter upon landing. Wings , like hands, stutter upon leaving. Blonde hair holds the Sun in place, A Sun made to reflect your stare. Honey filled orifice bled into dry rock, That was all the land needed, As it missed feet it had never held, And knew the paste of blood all too well.

The girl without a name
Untainted blossoms grew to flesh as they should. Dust hugged knolls knew more. Sun-worn cloth draped to her sternum. To ward off the passing of warmth- Warmth brought a heavy air An air to be sent back to the ocean, The air knew what it carried It carried it all, but never had to let go. The rain falls all the same On every field of old feather and seed The rain fell all the same On every concrete upheaval, those with corners They always have corners. The rain cares not for the sound it makes Only the fall. To be alone. The return to dry earth, forgotten. Rich blood in a warm heart. Leaves pile and rot. Hands exhume themselves. Sunset stained cloth, not covering her eyes. Her eyes. The colour was sharp. There was no rain. Air held itself in sharp layers, She knew the smell. Her eyes drew colour from that air and what it could do. She held the rain before it could return. Snowflakes formed on her lips; Words that fell, how they loved to fall. Carried by her sighs, the snow never touched the ground. There she stayed her toes not quite touching bare earth. Her words carried her. Yuki was not the rain, Although she knew it all too well, she was intricate potential. Her form was chosen. A manifest of all the beauty the world had.

Yuki is not the rain
The harbingers keep colour in lesion All the elites convict us of treason. Unfurled lectures deny credibility Poised on the rot, kept their dog-like virility. Ledge of artless puppet-fervor A plateau effect, might as well be ******

Artlessness
It poured out her mouth and fell on each season To walk with beasts in relation to reason. She expressed all she had and it drenched dry earth Letting the brush remember it's worth. Not that of flower but that of field And more emphasis on quality and less so on yield. It reached dry sands but stopped to implore The salt knew, and her water was more. None left to give to and not one who would take There was lots to go around, all of it heart without ache.

What does salt know
Sky a scarlett rose Sky a wolf so meek Sky held in repose Sky held in her own teeth Sky the earth and all it keeps Sky the birds and all they can't reach
