Why are you leaving me
oh why why why
are you leaving me
don't leave me don't
leave me please don't
leave me please

I am littered
across this
landscape

Scattered
even shattered
I've become bits

Before the lights
lose their power
I glitter I glint

Thousands as if
rings ran around
red things beating

Before the light
fails and I darken
amongst chances

collect me before
something anything
arrives and thrives

Nice shot
this thought
in this barrel

to be triggered
bayou
by you

knifing again
and again
and and and

carved of time
waiting art
unpaints

a nice picture
executed
perfectly

Attended the funeral
of my best friend today

Life goes out inexplicably
leaving confusion behind

and carries on against me
against my heart against

my breathing without
desperation as if I could be

not desperate to see you
not desperate to know

some **** thing any
**** thing other than

Remember
everything
is loosely based
on reality

My sound is less
I acerbate squarely
on the keystroke
a weakened ka-lick
of delivery

Then when
my head
begins to sag
I know
my neck
pinches
and I'm
back
for
a few lines
