umi kara

i slept with scissors on my bed
just to see.
to wake up in a new cut.
just to see
if danger is a true concept
if a surprise is something real.

i did sleep with scissors on my bed
because i have a tendency to move around a lot;
just to see
if the blade would try to kiss my rib
to quiet me down;

just to see
if fire really burns;
just to see
if what runs inside my veins
hasn't disappeared yet.
what i saw
was that it is better to sleep with scissors
than to wake up by my own.

You And I

we are all agates
washed and polished by waves
on this mortal beach

New Dusk

Stars pierce and shoot,
Might scrape the
Moon.
Skies are dark,
And yet, I swoon.

Dementia

***** in my veins
Replace the blood
In my neck.
I bet,
You'll forget
Everything that I
Meant...
To you.

And I feel that it's true.
As if sections of the
Sky
Can't remember the moon.

Everything that I do
Is embedded in cement.
Forget me, cause in death,
I'll forget what I left.

Heart Attack

Have you ever felt like you were going to have a heart attack,
But then you realize you were just experiencing Love.
