Find me. Callouses bubble born of survival Barefooted, bare-backed branding It's psycho-tribal. It's in the bible. Something on makeshift witchcraft An (in)impatient scripture draft Find me. All of us, answers for anatomy. Grey slate, tabula. And. scar tissue tough Illness or just ill-wish is brainstem spinal Callouses bubble born of survival.   Instinctive. Normal. What we learned when the books were burned   Cave paintings made in the padded cage Barefooted bare backed branding. Now, make it gentle. Through looking glass, exhausted paragraphs Be blind to the bodies and dance It's psycho-tribal.

The Importance of Now and Then
Expectation Behind your back Look up at my sculptor hands These safety blizzards Concrete vien The glass train track Don't look at me, Hunger You are an empty stomach Skin contrasts sky Goodbye contrasts stay And I think it's easy When I hurt you My grin leaves you with nothing Romantic crucifixion

Untitled
But I lied. They don't. Her hands are very small, So small as to grasp a thousand TINY WORLDS While mine are too big, So big as to grow myself into this singular lonely DEMANDING one TOGETHER Sometimes my fingers slip through and The too-fast-cars Chasing the politics Swaddling the wet rashed babies Birthed from the awkward *** The tongue-tied trying Fall into CONSTRUCTION gaps We didn't plan our fingerprints. But what a stupid thing to say.

OUR HANDS FIT PERFECTLY TOGETHER
BLOW But the second time it comes undone Redundancy and cardboard boxes under the Christmas tree ******* the professor - "Fun fact: by the time you turn 20, half of your taste buds have Died" Holly has tried to die while keeping her memory intact She won't want to forget this **** the twine, slip knots slip -Not in the good way- Her father said he loved her not in the good way The bongos are too loud for this place and they aren't instruments Skin wrapped over emptiness His Catholic echo Georgia watches him flap up to the podium, TAKE A PICTURE OF MY GOSPEL GUT I HAVE DIGESTED MY DESIRE Desire: verb, derived from the root word 'virgin' We have several walls between us, baby Tell me all your passwords. Tabs under the tongue, Joey can't taste her iris and how she constricts Hurting is a good sign, sin, sigh You will never know how to get inside. Bird-shit on your shoulder waiting at the alter, Holly is late and the clock is expanding inside of her throat Deep, suicidal Clean your clothes, wipe off your cellular corpses flaking like funeral snow Joey, baby, tell her you cannot taste her entrances Tell her she does not remind you of ash and acid Tell her you have not been licking your lips ever since she gave birth to you The middle child and you have never believed in God.

I can't wait for you to see me like this. Me like this. Wait to see. I can't wait for you to see like this. Wait to see me. Wait for you to see. - I can't like this. I can't see. I can't see like this. I can't wait for you.

I Can't Wait For You To See Me Like This
"Want/need/feel/blah" But our bodies makes noises when we are not around Are mistranslated        misunderstood        misused        mistreated Crack of the arctic knuckles crack -The whip on the horse to make it go faster -The egg on the bowl to keep your hands clean -The dawn that splices through skinny windows crack Blue I have noticed our Shadows How they snap on the sidewalk Like high-heeled claps and click Went my back when I stretched And I remember when this first started And I asked if I could lean on your shoulder sweet spot And I did for a while And resting next to your throat was noisy And we don't do that anymore And I don't do that anymore And There you go, that familiar sound (that same old sigh, that ticklish taunt, that numb noise - croaky crack) You would think "Anymore" Is a blah word Because that is what my feet said Blue You are not around anymore Our bodies aren't on speaking terms.

Just Noise
I want to create I want to create But I don't need to Not right now I want to create Blue Just cause it smells like you Just because that's what we agreed you were I want to create And I've sat in our conversations Green Purple Like I sat in her mouth I wanna create like that My fingers (talons) toying with her tongue I'm telling her to talk I want the sensation of talking T T T T Talking, Telling Mechanics of T T T T Telling My fingers (roots) I wanna create like that And now Blue I think of my fat fingers (snakes) inside of you I want to create I want to create you Green Purple I'm telling you to talk - right now I know what to do.

C, The Far Away
It hurts The soft hands Fingered. Snorted. Kissed. The mouldy bread on the floor of her car “Just breathe” And let me know when you are back. I’m back! Oh, hey! I wanted to go outside but Frustration, You should’ve come. One shoe One sock Put it in the other room so I can’t see “I think it should be there” I don’t. I know and I don’t. Just a dress rehearsal With his voice - not the body. Just another rehearsal with him The Math of Time. It’s a blue-ish, purple-ish thing. **** I hate today I know. And I don’t.

27th
The quiet teeth Naked breath Your thigh-high pretend And make up okay OK Rooms and cars Driveways and homes Highways and phones "You've never gone this fast" You and your undressed sigh Goodbyes are said while the windows are down Wind your helmets down And don't feel bad - I gave them to you for You I have Missed This ******* 2am Incorrect again "I'm not coming to you for brakes" I forget Speed is safe - When it's sharp and wet Your bare feet trust We have only ever been going in circles "Why are you here then?" I can't sleep.
