Bitter knife glitter little knife bite Brilliant shard litter blood in black night Brittle nerve flicker Flit-- oh **** sicker And sicker pale bright Moon in sky-- Fright Trick or treat slither Slither from sight A slight serpent sliver whispering white. Silent slight serpent Fangs embittered bite Little knife bite. Brittle nerve flicker.

Trick or treat slither
Spiral in the irises my dreams do down into the pupil gaping wide *what goes to hide it stays inside* In tepid wanter rot the mortal fools No one knows why. In livid water boil angry souls. They explode. From the pressure *it stays inside Down into the pupil gaping wide like dreams do*

just like dreams do
I say 'long ago' They say 'You're twenty. What do you know of time?' Well. I know it's measured in moments Not seconds Heartbreak not heartbeats. And I know, though it drags on and on There is never enough. That is what I know of time.

20
Arms arms breaking forward each pore a door Escape the whole Eyes eyes multiplying, constantly eyeing The ground below Me, I’m just standing --aside, the bridge to nowhere As the stars like little lanterns hold their fire back with pains --panes? And I, I’m just watching -- let the wind whisper do the talking Or is the sway of shadow trees, a laughter is it mocking The black crows with their bright beaks bursting from each layer of skin With their dead eyes that I find such strange comfort in?

Daymare?
today passed like a dream a lit match smothered by skin a raindrop ****** into a stream a heartbeat a blink a promise you don't like reflection well I hate to tell you darling but the truth doesn't look good on you the reason you have nothing to say is because I am right Each word that drips from my curving lips Will only eclipse whatever lies your mind sips because your heart skips and then your tongue trips because I am right. And you pass like a dream a lit match smothered by skin a raindrop ****** into a stream a heartbeat a blink a promise Because you did promise. But I knew enough about people to expect nothing And you met my expectations. So I really am...right.

Expectations
Others have a before, before the aftermath A past to look back on, a child in the mind They mourn their lost purity The fleck in their eye gone flat The dulling of imagination and sharpening of The ache everpresent But I have no before. There is no moment No mindset to look to, cry -- bring that back Bring me back to innocence! No, for I lack That yesterday... yet my today is not dull And I’m not yet full Of grey dreams, grey hairs, grey blood My blood yet runs red And for each drop I’ve bled And for each step I’ve tread And for each word I’ve said And for each hell I’ve wed There is no before. No past to look back on. No virginity to mourn. So was I just like this from the day I was born? Have I forgotten the taste Of innocence... Or have I, for everything, not lost it, not yet been dragged to life by the sharp kiss of Reality?

Before
I'm sorry to waste your time. It isn't a big deal. It's just life you know Maybe it's not even real I'm sorry to waste your time You have better things to do I'm not even sure of What I want from you I'm really just burning time Which is a little funny Because people get paid for time And I wouldn't burn money But I just keep burning time I don't know what remains I don't know if it burns faster For chaos, chasms, pains. I don't know if I am master For these time-fueled ember rains Which actually...have eaten up The space for me to say Whatever I was thinking of Before you walked away.

Waste of Time
Kasimir Malevich. You really have no idea how annoying you are; I look at your Black Square, first see nothing there; an Emperor's new clothes situation; people feigning education by rambling meanings from blackness; Ignoring what it lacks - it's the reverse of what art should be. That's why it calls to me. Isn't it? It is rebellion, revolution, An iconoclastic icon, there are novels within it's empty. Are there? So I feel strongly. But as for a Judgement...I have Nothing. It's a Black Square.

On The Black Square
You equate me to a murderer Because I smoke some cigarettes I guess we'll all be down in hell While you play harp in winged quartets. Sure, I reach for stars just 'cause they burn my soul's a maze so I can hide I've scrambled "god" with **** and **** Each day my head and heart collide But art's knowing when to break the rules And life is art, so do the math You think I'm just a 'talking corpse' 'Cause I reject your 'purer' path? I'm a mess but that's just fine You live your way I'll live mine But tell me how you can define The One True Way to live? When you look at minor heresies and can't even forgive?

Holier than thou (based on true events)
I'm glad you're not bewitched by me I'm glad I'm not bewitched by you That never will Earth's heavy orb Float out from underneath our feet. I'm glad that we can be funny... messy, and not play with words, And not redden-- a stifling wave Upon us lightly touching sleeves I'm glad too that before me you Will freely embrace another That you won't **** me to hellflames Upset by me not kissing you That my tender name, my tender darling You won't recall in day nor night...in vain That never in the church's silence Will they sing over us 'alleluia' I thank you with my heart and with my hand For the fact that you -- yourself not knowing Loved me so; for all of my peaceful nights For rarity of meeting sunset hours For our not-walking underneath the moon For the sun not there with us, overhead For you not being - alas, bewitched by me For me not being - alas bewitched by you
