the carcasses are suspended along trailers in the dusk as

lepers coerce their dreamer

Half lit ciggarettees stain teeth
and the black lung sits silent
Like
excavation in july

No more bruises but they still run
away

If there are no mistakes in art
Then there are no mistakes in
life

let it go

Sit down

     Lay down

the bag and collect your payment.

Who are these people
Jay earnest Jul 2020
Ruining myself

but if you let go
It stops hurting.

It only hurts because you care too much
Otherwise
It's just skin

One day I'll be free and I wont care
I will sit on the cement stairs and waste my time the right way

Alone in a grey cell with a bottle of juice

I cant wait for my
passage.

It takes 2 to move this
Stone

So it goes
   2 steps forward A lot of nothing

She cries anyway.
Red
Tears

the night of blood red wine and healing scars
the night of doves and crows flying
the night of sleeping lice and dying minds
the night of black and white pictures and leftover love
the night of swimming horses and pressed up diaries
the night of fools beckoning to the hall
the night of a concert played in perfect pitch to a deaf audience
as they all applaud
