This stale room of grief
picking out a coffin,
like deciding on a tie
or a time to cry.
flowers, white coronations,
offensively alive
I sit on the steps outside,
my veins knot tightly, tied.
CRASH.
one night of
lights lifted,
music blaring,
faces sifting, staining,
staring, forever on
in the inside of my heart
my mind.
I know those sounds,
like a dream
scaly from scratches,
horror film inside
all from just one ride.
close my eyes and crash,
fall asleep and crash,
laugh and cry,
crashing.

I love the way you’re feeling
on me, and everywhere
a winter cold frostbite
playing kisses
in my eyes
instead of this nothing.
I reason your name.
Its’ an argument
about beauty.
It’s silvery fists
of power.
It’s nowhere’s map
A blue page torn
from my fingers
I know you.

I’ve gone all small from outside
and inside, I am giant and cosmic
drifting in and out of my own skin
I respect the silent descent of color
as evening, slinging it’s heavy moon
slouches it’s mood over the sky.
But I am left luminous, just as stars
absorb like spider eyes onto surfaces
a caulk, carved for something sake.
I am unimaginable, all inverted features
swallowed into an uncomfortable skull
smarter than a brain that barks.
There are things to interpret about ghosts
besides their flushed up wail’s of waiting
the ferocious erosion of re-existence.

A blackbird slams into the
glass door and splatters, leaving
red lines across small stained hands.
Eyes fly up
(...I'm so sorry)
flatline.
And before I can speak
the children start to cry.

a story told I heard in passing
a face, a photo, some one laughing
shy eyes staring somewhere crowded
living softly, needing loudly
a funeral right outside my room
roses taking months to bloom
framing the past for all, revealing
black & white, every feeling.

As if I have been the long a waited
Radiation suffocating,
Patient in bed, empty men around me
Almost perfect now.
You carry your organs beautifully
Smiling wrinkles,
And in your words I can capture
Slideshows of your days
And nights also,
I spin them around in my mind
As I feed on daily doses
Of Ripened morphine
And self pity.
Soon you disappear and with you,
Another light bulb tickles itself
And shatters into darkness.

I meet a skeleton hiding in the depth of my closet,
in nothing but my boots and a satin type corset,
still with her hair(well I’m assuming its a she)
and in her hand holding a special secret for me.
she assumes she knows more
than an average friend may
and to this I am startled,
but don’t give it away,
for what is a skeleton without
a name or a trace?
I mean, I beg your pardon,
get out of my face.
she hung there waiting for me to come by,
knowing that soon id be needing clothes to try,
and I swear she would hang there so happily,
excited at the prospect of alarming me.
and so I am frightened
by the grey of her bones,
by the scent of her flesh,
and the sound of her drones
yet of coarse i smile widely
if not slightly too trying,
at the hope of her secrets
confiding.
what she sais makes me angry but I know she is right,
there’s a dark place inside me that never sees light,
and she managed to find gapes in which to crawl through and sleep,
in-between all the sharp shadows of the feelings I keep,
hidden somewhere inside me that is so close to the grave
that I never look inside it, I’m never that brave.
until it reaches to a time my
secrets comes to me,
in the form of a skeleton
(unfortunately)
to tell me i should look deep
inside of what’s wrong,
and fill it with
what i knew
All along.

I hid behind the Buddleia bushes,
crouched in pools of
broken butterfly wings,
and bright feathers.
Between gaps in the greens
I saw them laughing,
jokes floating from
their mouths.
Rain started falling
pools rose
higher,
hair turned to string
cheeks were on
fire,
heartbeat burned,
my head
turned
away.
He kissed her forehead
wiped damp from her eyes,
traced light on her face
light from the skies.
Afterwards I walked
home under
rainclouds,
rainbows,
and rain.
dotted in sorrow
splotched with pain.
And let him pick me up
close to him,
again .

stars fell and I caught them,
first beautiful then a burden
as they sizzled in my hands,
unworthy.
now I look at the splashed rays
that left marked stains ,
white lanes leading sparkles,
down veins.
do stars run through me now
and how, were do they start
a coursed line lingering ‘round
their home.
I house stars,
this alone makes me
my favorite person,
I smile more now
and everyone seems
to know why.

There are several truths that float here
Like leaves on winters infinite pool
And sometimes sink after hours, further,
Into the depth of my breakable mind.
I am almost always clothed to the body
Of an undetermined tomorrow,
Suffocating in the sleeves
Of any hopes shirt.
Keep you, I have been, for there
In the dirt road of my eyelids
You play with the riddled veins
Light cables unmet by reason.
It is not a tragedy, because
sideshow children were once living
And in their surrounds
Alive, beautiful people breathed.
I will be eluded by a string of pacifiers
A mobile above my head at night
But in-between lies of mystic creatures
And pearl planets, I will always be met by myself.
