I always thought that if I've got too much to say I dont say a thing. # And I really really don't What is the intertextual meaning of your eyes while I eat your lips? What are the cultural assumption of your fingers on my skin? What are the metaphors in your head while I turn into an Allen Ginsberg poem under you? What are the language choices really meant to achieve (which they do on  a Freud-deep level)? I want to eat you like a book Drink you as if Kerouac is your father Bathe in you, because you are Nabokovs quill I only have words to play with

I only have words to play with
I  want to see you in the daylight Morning blues creeps onto your birthmarks Eyes are so very bright Your hair Wrists You. You own yourself now This is very important Please love yourself Please please please Listen to me before my voice turns into an insane wild howl Hitting the highest notes, disappears and I gasp for breath please listen You are your very own This is pretty much all you have. Your belongings consist of two ardent eyes, stretchmarks, Arms, legs issued by a pair each. Your mind Whatever is your every thought Whatever you believe is true, simply Because you believe it. It’s all yours, this is you. It’s all up to you.

Maria
I smell Motherland in the corridor She crept up on me with her soap, drunken men and things I’d rather forget I was thinking about death since I was 10. . The plane gets up, Chicken soup is served. Here are your nuts. Have this lolly, the tension is getting Higher Higher And higher I cannot hear anything. . We are now in a very neat place Incheon, South Korea Fancy, shiny, pricey Another plane, bigger Higher Higher Higher Yoghurt and cheesecake I like this food better. . We get off, and even the ground shines The air is very different For the first day I smell this country it does has a specific smell And after 5 years You creep up on me, my love. .

Fasten the seatbelts.
Stop looking for questions to ask Because you know all the answers You know exactly what you have to do and who You want to be. Stop whatever you want to stop And do whatever you want to do but remember To look at the right scale. Don’t let a minority become a stick in a wheel to Your big, grandiose plan or a desire And remember that minor things are minor None the less and none the more.

2+2
P. I If God took LSD he would think he was me I would never know I never took drugs In school or out Even that time when my eyes were red and I shout out “Hugs not drugs!” And hug my drugmate for whom hugs were too far and who lately stripped and walked the streets naked with me Being absolutely sober ofcause. P. II I remember once The shining sun went down and true suns shined Upon someones bed I danced tango with a pretty pretty boy And then I made love to his girlfriend I really do not understand how that happened But the next morning we got dressed and I never saw them again. P.III After a long silent busride With me and my best companion in roles of passengers We drank wine and to be honest I do not remember much of that night Except that when we winded up at a bustop I was kissing a girl And I had no idea who she was and I don’t have any idea now. We also met a gypsy who was one of the best people I’ve met It was definitely one of the best nights. I hope there are more of them to come.

People of the Past
At night Streets of this city are isolated Whoever said cities do not sleep might Have lied. The morning touches the sky so gently As a lover Paints it so tenderly Yet with passion of blinding love This city Has people of most ardent eyes Of most wonderous hearts. I will be one of them sometime That will be when I’m at my best. I haven’t been At my best yet.

Cacophony of the sleepless
“From that moment, I knew it was too late to save her. She has gone all gooey in the middle.” This is ******* ridiculous, We are both awake at 1am and you don’t talk to me I’m way too meretricious Source of vast and ****** What thoughts I have of you tonight? This night, the other night? The night you came to me in a dream And frightened me with your sight? I know I’m pathetic This is  all the context of me None of this is poetic, I’m bathing in your disdain- That’s the privilege of mine Maybe the time will pass And I wont feel the need to drown my sorrows in wine.    We are both together On different sides of everything That could be imagined- Did we leave something that still stings? Once in one of my angelic dreams You were a creature that sings You gave me hope, I don’t want to admit that But in this machinery of morose bleeding days It vanished, like it wasn’t even the case.

Nameless, Hopeless
I sat at the trainstation at 7am and the temptation to jump under the train was so great I nearly did But I couldn’t because I forgot my shoes at your place and I had your smokes and key in my pocket The security walked past me and tears ran down my face making the path for more of them to travel down I got on a train and it was cold I didn’t want to sit in the quiet carriage I rested my head on a window I cried rain but then sun shined and maybe it was going to be all right people talked about their lives I heard them And then I cried again And again And again And again And I still do I wish it stopped but I want someone to really care about me or maybe just like me a little that would be great as well Im sorry I’m such a **** person.

Sudden-lee
I put my cigarette out on my thick dead skin I feel no pain, I see no sin I bleed with ink and ash falls Off my foggy head. During the autopsy Kind pathologist  will find the ashtray In the web of darkened   arteries Some other gray day During my days of eternal physical struggle The roads of dirt made my feet bleed tears I’ll go to sleep once I wrap myself with fears
