American A shell of a person. My skin used to be thick- but I’m thinning from the inside out.
You’re in a relationship with yourself You hold all of the conversations When you feel inclined to ask a question You ask it to yourself and answer it I never have to talk This is great

Thickening
Little faults like the surface of the desert where the water once moistened the floor gave life to the sweaty and salty substrate Exposed by the small fractures the sun barely penetrating the crust grows miles thick The perishable content suffocating under the weight of its own swathe melting from the warmth liquifying everywhere all over everything

Untitled
The first time she flew through a window she thought of the chair through the drywall amidst a short FREEfall The first time she flew threw a window she landed in a burning bush after being given a Push The first time she flew through a window She decided she better learn to fly so she gathered her strength and waited until it was time she never practiced fearing the sting of her scraped skin so she snuck around quietly and helped hatch the kin when she was alone and it was time She rushed to the window and opened the blinds the window was not a window any longer the old screen laid on a new floor labored, she thought "Where is the opening?!" as her eyes traced the familiar place she was comforted and she flew out the newly born door

Little Bird
standing on A rock The furthest dry point In nubanusit You are blinded by the sparkle The beauty Of the golden sun Bouncing off the water Reflected by the pale blue sky A photograph of you and her And you are the happiest you've ever been I'm looking at it you Are perfect for each other

Depressing is
Fingers raw Nails Glazed like spring valleys Gelled with calm water Ice covering snow caps As the jagged peaks cut Unsuspecting climbers Still covered in bleeding earth Dirt under my fingernails

My hands
One blink, blink blink --, blink      180 degrees, 160, 13 -, {soft focus}                           Obtuse  - >infinity<                                          Rolling over Kilimanjaro Sinking through the Grand Canyon like wind Hormone flooding Like rapids Eroding consciousness Blink, awake, blink, blink - blink I am watching a scenario in my mind Walking after midnight in a snow blanketed field And a full moon Blink, daydream, I don't know which is louder The sound of my heart beating My skin rubbing together, Or the hum of thoughts traveling through.

The ringing
At what height is appropriate To strain, sift I must be doing this wrong You are beautiful But you are For show I dreamt of temptation Terrorism A storm You are Cruel I dreamt so vivid When I woke up you weren't there I was still
