Bow

Raw Meat and Red Teeth
I'm a Bow to the Moon
I Click over Cobbles
My Mad Energy
Bailed in my Stomach
I Task Myself
Open
And Daring Prey to Cross the Tension
Strung on my Senses
All Hot Gut and Wire
I'm Playing at Being
A Wild and Mean Thing
And I am Dedicated to this Wound.

hardwired

tried to reprogram my CPU
to be repulsed by the thought of you

and to relate
the sting of your hate
to yellow lab pups

but you can't reconfigure your brain
it just doesn't work that way

i'm hardwired to love you

*and now have a house full of seattle's finest strays

i remember picking my dog maggie from the litter 8 years ago!

antipasto

i made a salad for you
it had everything you love
all in one
even the simple dressing

but you never came over
so i ate it myself
and i have to say
*we love a lot of the same things

i made chicken parm too ur fave!

Walt Whitman

To A Common *******

Be composed—be at ease with me—I am Walt Whitman, liberal and ***** as Nature;
Not till the sun excludes you, do I exclude you;
Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you, and the leaves to rustle for you,
do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.

My girl, I appoint with you an appointment—and I charge you that you make
preparation to be worthy to meet me,
And I charge you that you be patient and perfect till I come.

Till then, I salute you with a significant look, that you do not forget me.

neon orange scream

heard you in the sky this morning
screaming my name giving me warning

don't come close i have strange diseases
coming undone broken in pieces

if you need a friend i can fill the role
tamin' pit bulls like those guys on parole

i can let you borrow my amazing recuperative powers
granted by my childhood idol best known
for breaking 400 bones

or if you need a savior i know a mellow dude though
he doesn't hold advanced degrees
but he knows a great cure for leprosy

i really don't care if you think i'm perverse
using your twisted logic in reverse

broken into a million pieces is complete to me
the most brilliant wildflower

*in all totality

give it a rest
ur risky at best

adhesive

can't believe it held together
for awhile it was touch and go
pure perfect illusion of
complete control

no safe haven
and faith lacking
failure analysis revealed
severe stress cracking

on the other side now
somehow still whole
good ol' duct tape
*saved my soul

the harder you resist the more powerful it becomes
when the walls close in on you
throw down your sword
surrender

ya right
