Beating tired bones
As David Biespiel said, "A poet's greatest fear is that he will flinch." My main influences are Gordon Massman, The Mars Volta, and Elizabeth Hufford.

I Wish I Was Heart Broken
I wish I was heart-broken
Sad, let-down, hurt.
But what you've done
is grind this heart of mine
to a fine black powder,
and dust

And I'm sick
So sick
I'm vomiting up
black powder
and soon, hopefully,
this stupid aching heart,
will die.

You Made All My Dreams Come True
The cold
shivered shoulder
of a girl
mocha-skinned
who promised you the world,
but when you couldn't keep up,
she gave up.
All the dreams
of this being true,
that you swore never would be,
are broken picture frames
in the mirror-mask of my heart.

To Think...
To think
you'd hurt me
worse than the one
you healed me from.
I'm worse off than when
I met you. How
does that feel?
