it wasnt that
animalistic, choking
raw death that read about
and call the hard, real truth
it was unearthly,
it was paranormal
like a demon holding her
up by the throat
and slamming her down
twisting her limbs
and trying to escape from her insides
it was
a horror scene
but more cold
more violent
there was no reason
for it to happen that way
at that time in the morning
i can still hear it
i can still see it
i can still smell it
i am bending over her as we speak

you're a good fantasy
you know how to keep the
darkness away
or at least, how to turn it
into something greater

i think of you
when i can't fall asleep
i feel guilty
though you're so far away
you make dreaming better
it's enough to combat the insomnia
it could better, it could be more
but it's enough
it'll do

it won't work out
i think you need excitement
loud, fast cars
loud life, fast death
i can't excite you, that way
but if you needed a break
i could be here
if you wanted calm
i can be

you look so tall
in your pictures
i think you'd be disappointed
if you saw me
i will never
be your babe
back-of-the-motorcycle
stunner lover
i can only
tremble
i can only
hope

but you're still texting me
somehow, friend
sending me songs
being so sweet

nothing could happen
you don't mean it like that

that's why,
i suppose
i don't have to worry
for thinking like this
i can bury it,
i can suppress it
in that, i am quite skilled

i don't know you well
i don't know you at all
but your flaming hot soul
you called me a river
said my soul could cleanse
the others around me

and yet all i want
is you around me
you at night
you in the day
i want your soul
and your arms and your voice
and your heart all wrapped around me
so that i could feel your flames,
if you'd let me
so that i could cool you down

so that's what i think about
and i hope that it's cool,
i hope that it's fine
to keep you this way
in my heart, in my dreams
my friend, my fantasy

nothing will happen
nothing could be
so we don't need to worry
we still can be free

sky
object in the sky
we are witnessing the end of the world
we are witnessing our collapse
we are partaking in the final joyride of earth
a couple more swings around the sun
before we're done

i hate the flesh
the way it splits
squishes splats its
seafoamy decay
over the bulbous form
bone and meat of the
body

i hate the yellow rot
and purple blood
and oyster tongue and
other organs spilling out
its desperate escape
from that desolate
hole of a tomb

My understanding of the universe and death and life have come to a standstill.
It seemed before I had a solid grasp.
It isn't as if I'm blown away now or know something I didn't before
but the brutality of it all
Suddenly I wish it weren't so
I know my mother is gone,
but I wish there was a heaven
I know she died on the floor
but I wish she felt us in that room
I know that I can die on the plane
but I feel now that I am obligated to live
Death is random
and death has demonstrated that
and yet now it's hard for me to accept
that I can't just change that
moving forward
I understood it
I got it
I accepted it
and yet now
I just wish it weren't so.

the grass can hear us
the trees can see us
the earth can feel us
they whisper in secret
gossip and cry
debating our future
consuming the hurt
yet choosing to be kind

I was born from the dark
and to the dark I shall return



when i see leaves
flicker in the sun
i know i'm home




I've always known
i wasn't from this world
my home is the cosmos
my body is the cosmos
in the cosmos i belong
all of my matter
scattered and uneternal


i want to thank you, universe
look what you created
look what you can do
this strange breath of life of earth
what a beautiful life its been

i think you always knew
how we would self implode
how we would suffer
in between meals and laughs
what a miracle
i have come from
what a miracle
it could last this long
i am sorry
we cut it so short
