American "I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live." - Françoise Sagan
Longing like a spruce Water dream Coursing down, borne wild **** all -9 You untie my spear Willing but spared Waterfall noise

Cordial
There is no home With which I'm blessed or bothered No tether; air I'll fall back simple and cold There's symbiology Creeping along the curtain The covers Hiding my papercuts

Untold simulacra Could you jump to twelve Some kind of sickening sweetness Again and again Cycle kinesis Usurping the gravity Kiss the blind man Bumble your words

You know I So much bigger than any passion I live here Deeper inside you still There's contrast Start, with a poor soul chattering You sing this Still so soft and scared I sing this Things are raveling undone Some tremble You hear my sickening cry I turn back Seeking a similar numbness You hold this Under my cries, I crawl

quantization
Cliche Cobbled Hurried steps, desperate for footing Up and down again I remember when I was more paced Uncertain and odd, there was yet truth to my movements Invoking a sound from a texture long lost I wonder what a round moment might feel like Pushed against a sharpness I didn't not account for My choices are smaller still Whisper between the lanes of edge and acceptance I eat an apple in my mind But only fried potato in reality Sickly with starch and false comfort Down, below the dancing LEDs There, the pit of pits I want to scream, but only for myself I don't want to be heard or considered Loneliness, I am no longer offered Maybe I'll manufacture it instead? Push away, let you down, a crack in the reverberation A bell toll wakes me up to a new modality A pattern I haven't yet considered? The dull uniformity tells me no There is discipline, and there is me Far from married, at war with knowledge Cliche Cobbled I watch the walls of my basement crumble The mortar turns to sand Adhesion long dried Dust Dust Dust

Crumble
There is never a rhyme to how it happens. Your body moves like a wave, only to freeze, My naive desire sinks, deepening with the cracks in my skin. You are the stillness of a lake. I am the silent pier where knots are tied to secure your vessel. Climb atop, and step with confidence. I will hold you -- for a time, anyways. Leave me in disrepair, my mercy howl to the sands of time. Here, I will surely rot and slumber.

skipping bones
the fear of writing is overwhelming now. with every moment like daring the keys beneath me. i cursor left and edge a sharp deletion; "no, what a tiresome thing." i squint towards absentee grit on a whim, and count the number of years. it's been six. (6), and six too many. have i bled my color all wrong? my fingers are heavy. i have no posits to share. and so, none will be spoken.

illusion
The raft off shore Against the river He's sick on whisky and foal Spoken songs Throat of coal His barrels bound with gold Newly risen Surely dead Rapids drink and blow

Oaken
White Hot. I'm Surrendered. Punctuated and Capitalized. You leave my nerves a mess. Bright blue might do it for some, Me? I am left sick and shaken. Always there, the eddie or the draw. Deep down into that cylinder. I might care more about it, in another life. Now, I am ruined by it. Broken into one piece too many. Scared for my life. My home grown serenade. Perhaps the clatter and drag will catch up with you. The rue and righteousness consuming you. I hope you find an easier peace. Something softer. I think, in undetermined ignorance: "No one deserves to break."
