The rain, and its concentration on the back of your neck the tiny hairs on your tiny neck Fixation has always favored the anxious I'm not Fixated I'm furious that life wasn't what they said it would be that my strawberries are moldy and half the world can't eat them anyways that you never wear the colors that made me like you in the first place that now even I can't remember how you taste

Fixations
In your sudden, redundant paroxysm of rashy dreams and itchy memories and long, extended wailing you old infant-hearted lovely little mess I stand here, stationary Watching you kiss conductors and straddle rails that aren't going far enough to see yourself as I've seen you. From the way that your angled Our judgements are tangled.

Judgement
Although our bodies recoil From the grip of the soil I'm too tired to hear you Despite being near you Though your face I will take To the grip of the stake Your hands tied too tight In the heat of my flight Please, please stop asking me To decide what cannot be Your bones like soft metal Deserve harder battle Though I cringe at the sight Of your trembling might You're much too weary To see me so clearly And stop trying to sweep What's already too deep We can't dig when our hands Are still buried in sand

Proper Burial
Leaving rambles like Rimbaud In a bed where you felt someone You shouldn't have knelt With your bony knees on that bony floor Prayers never answered anymore. Kisses with saliva you did salvia On your sister's bed Awoke to Ok Computer Above your head, the Archangel Lay naked bathing in the light Of your delusions, your mind twitching In a state of confusion.
