sun through boring blinds,
desert;
I'm blind to it.

mind if I sit and not think
of the next 50 years?
ive been trying to disappear
for years.

screaming at myself
in the mirror
while the angles of
neighbouring houses
speak to me
in whispered voices.

that's plural because
I don't know.

it's night against night
out here.

tigers prowling.

most fold while folding;
cafe bustelo in the mornings.

it's all good.

I may have one hand
on the wall now,
but I am dipping slices
of granny smith apples
into wildflower honey
at the end of all this.
waiting on you.

by all means,
take your time.

blank.
drawn.
page.
somewhere in between is
something sacrosanct;
Shangri la.
(jump)
I'll be the last ghost to fade away.
just take it all a way's away from me;
my days are numbered.
trust me when I tell you
I take the comfort like pain medication.
I'm not saying we face death,
but claiming we were the patron-saints
of anything other than taking vacation
days for vacations never taken
is pretty ******* ridiculous.

just saying.

sacred?
half of that at least.
sanctity was but a raft on a beach
before the tide came.
my mind state is in the wind
pretty much always.

late to all parties,
call it fashion.
balled fists,
call it stalwart or passion.
it all ends the same.
it's all dirt.
that is it's name, right?

spinning,
spinning.

all of this is an abatoir,
all of it,
and all I want to see is
phospenes or the black
of the big sleep.

I'll match the scars
you feel alright about
showing me.

in my head, that is.

in my heart...
well, ive been known to leave
without leaving,
so I would advise trying
the "not knowing me" thing
and seeing how it shakes out.

today, my drive to do anything
is as dead as disco.

earlier, while drinking my coffee,
I heard disco ive never heard
before.

so I dont know.
tomorrow is a new day.
