did you think about life? did you contemplate every breath you drew? did you think about the cities? and the bodies? and the blood?

*****
I’m aware of the pain of the worry and the rain I’m aware that the moon will wane

The Pain
Pretty sure I drank too much At your funeral. Snowflakes were Falling softly On your coffin. Watched them Etch your death In roman numeral. I etch them Into my thighs Too often. With my Whiskey breath I learn to soften. I sink with you. 6 feet deep, Yet unforgotten.

I Drank Too Much At Your Funeral

sting me
you’re impeding a needing for my touch for I clutch to your hands too much tongue-tied and terrified that my insecurities will be verified by my amplified need to be with you

my hands
Her hands are made of sandpaper, and her eyes they look like fear; And the fragility of her porcelain heart is a sign that death is near. The demons in the form of thought pick apart her empty mind. They leave her on the roadside, where she is left, deaf, dumb and blind. Screaming for redemption from her swollen, dry, cracked lips; In an act of desperation, she starts to sway her paper hips. With only one thing left to give, she has nothing left to lose; She raffles off her body for feeble cash and sketchy ***** And the wrinkles on her face are tiny riverbeds for tears; Urban camouflage of leather skin and dried up makeup smears.
