Friends for Dinner
A brief ode to Night

Birdie
Friends for Dinner
A brief ode to Night
She is sprawled; a vast expanse
Her eyes are islands in the dark
Her breath pulls in and the seas abide
She takes a look through your eyes
"I am alive"

Friends for Dinner
Gargoyle
I arch my shoulders to my cheeks
And press my weight upon my feet
Agress my chest unto my knees
This shape I take; anxiety

Birdie
Friends for Dinner
A foil to Fondness
It was more than a treat that we got to meet
And I can't always say this is true
But, of course, my poor aim takes up center-frame
As my thoughtlessness cleaves us anew
A fool's words I let slip from out of my lips
Shame be mine, if I've ever hurt you

Birdie
guy scutellaro
Clotho's Spindle and the Prayer
the edge keeps getting
harder to find
keep my ledge clean
brush away this uneasy
disparate ride
spin your thread
that delicate strand
wish me good luck
and i'm not a dancer
but if you ask,
fate or fortune?
smiling,
dancing madly backwards
I'll ride the razor ribbon wire
into the wall of shadows
and until the tug of destiny
and before the ringing of bells
keep me close to your heart.

Theanm Ankh Is Also Human
Opportunist
Born a girl and bred a monster
Bringer of despair
Bringer of demise
Bite the twisted hand that feeds
Glaring straight into the beast's eyes
Flailing fists, handfuls of coarse hair
A good-for-nothing, two-timing taker
A Self Portrait

turin
I bought the shroud of Turin
the vatican had a sale
they have legal expenses
and priests that needed bail.
It was just an old dusty cloth
so I put it in the wash
that Tide detergent, never fails
all the smudges and stuff washed off.
don’t get excited, i was raised a catholic

Theanm Ankh Is Also Human
Slurred Sunny
She
was
driving east to 'Zona
Right on track.
Was
Gonna take her off,
Run right up
SMACK
Cut to black.
Bully for the woman who held me back.
Was
All s'posed to be over
Now I'm standing in the suburbs,
Lawnmower.
Maybe if you hadn't said you loved me
I might still
be
Sober.

Theanm Ankh Is Also Human
Heads Down, Thumbs Up
step once
sit down
stand up
spin around
blink twice
tap thrice
turn that frown upside down!
cross your fingers
cross your legs
curl up
shut down
look left
look right
run fast faster fast as your little legs will fly you
through the night
throw up
break down
blow up
find it fright it flight it fight it fist it twist it pop it smash it burn it **** it
stomp it out
scream
now go to sleep
