If others have minds
I wanna see inside

What does sea foam green look like ?
How do these eyes take in light ?

I would sit inside a dream at night
And take notes of the worldly sights

If others have minds
I wanna see inside

I would take interest in watching thoughts think
Lyrics aparating while it sings  

If others have minds
I want to see inside

I would see through new eyes
How new eyes see me
I would forgive it for judging

If others have minds
I want to see inside

Just a singer in a plaza amplifying song
she’d rather that you listen than loudly sing along
inside her somewhere is an angel’s gift to god
inside her somewhere is a demon drunk on wrong
in that she is mortal
in that she is whole
a singer in a plaza stretching out a note

The first tour of a brand new house
Brown leather couches
No scratches
No burns
Not yet paint on the walls
Not yet loss on the floors

No real announcement
Just changes unfolding
Before grief weaved in carpets
And up the crown molding  

Fever Dream
There’s a distant scream
But right now it’s calm
So we float downstream

I found a new set of lips!
they talk in a new strange set of ways,
much better than the last I think
at least for the first couple days

in a curious fashion
I lick till its sticky while
it holds its tongue
to hide its fragility

and the corners drop sudden
it has cast my type
my new set has discovered
for certain, I bite

A spectral wasp trapped in a lung, rattling the ribcage with its frantic flight

A dusty projector hosting a viewing of hideously awkward memories

A kiddie pool filled with quicksand

The junk drawer nearly overflowing with tasks, moldy from neglect

A dark cloud in the corner of a sunny day

Anxiety is not...

forever.

he comes armed with charm. a smile that commands a return. his shiny cuff links make my lashes blink. slow. fumes of his freshly laundered suit seep out the cracks of my lungs and into my bloodstream. his gaze lays on me like a straightjacket. together we fold the little red flag and tuck it neat in the corner of my subconscious. he pets me, I purr. tonight I’m the special kitten in his litter of *******.

I gotta give him up
Or I'll wager staying stuck
He decoded me with every touch
Pierced a hole and left it gaping
Cold wind chaffing my insides
God I want just one more ****
But that'll never be enough
