She looked at me through the bottom of a glass Crystal eyes and wet strawberry lips I looked at her through the bottom of the bottle Seashell dimples and wild dandelion hair A scarlet chest in exchange for a day in her sands Swing set smiles Between blistering footsteps And icy ocean kisses Undressed and drowning at the bottom of her bed Feeling like **** feeling ******* high Serpentine limbs beg me “Stay” Our own little mattress comedy Cast across the plaster in pale light They’re all so ******* domestic She kicks the chair from under me Abrupt masochistic compulsions Baptized in her holy see Smoldering marquees and lascivious repartee Let’s drink every drop of this satanic chablis Until the bottle’s empty Until we’re back at the bottom And you look for me And I look for you

Bottom Out
We depress in the confines of cerebral warehouses where freedom persists only through memories left. But comfort can be found in the knowledge that youth cascades down the flesh of flesh. The sweetest fruits fleetly brush your tongue. The loveliest tunes are whispers delicately sung. Let your brittle bones break the malaise strung. Just let go; let the air out of your lungs. Reason. Purpose. Meaning. It was when you realized that your life could be measured by revolutions of the sun. It was the first time you witnessed the passing of someone you love.

The Cascade
Molecules drift asunder, chasing shorelines The taste for the oceanic boundless cast aside Predisposed to march forward in time Individual existence becomes a product of your mind You couldn't recognize yourself when you saw me Or that you are every word of every book on your shelf Fixed on the fractured shells of its body The mosaic never sees itself

Hatch
A hole for the whole; Clarion lacuna. The cheval glass so immaculate, coeval. You will find yourself when you sever the sound. But even some trees reach for the ground. Inadequate, a voluntarily tethered thrall. Catatonic canvas; Goblin shark lockjaw.

Lacuna
As crepuscular embers fracture window panes, The mind wares the solace of this paragon host. Destitute, edentulous, declawed. Is joy only to be found in the exchange of hands and throats? And I took more than my fathers name; I took his blood and his voice and his pain. So what is it that separates? Am I the emanation of original thought or am i just the sum of the harbingers' tale? Am I never alone or am I bound to wade in the vapid wake? "Could we be the limbs of a möbius soul?" The panglossian being wonders. And wanders.
