There's an energy in me dying to get out

Stretching aching
Pulling and prodding 
my skin in all different directions

Scratching clawing
Ripping and tearing 
it's way out 

Trying to find a balance to ease itself

My fingers twitch and roll
My shoulder blades shudder in ache
My head knocks 
My knees tremble 
My feet stomp
My face contorts

Curling my lips into a grimace
Rolling my eyes into darkness
Nose twitches like a **** addict

Trying to find a balance to ease itself

My voice gets hung up
Caught up on words I can't say
Or words I've just heard

Rolling around on the tip of my tongue
Like glass cutting its words into the back of my teeth

There's an energy in me dying to get out

all caught up
in looking at the world
in wonder
a child
does not see
ugly

Gone to the market
lost in the vegetable aisle
carrots, onions, zucchini
if this was him, then this is
you

Hello
       what is your sign?
  
oh, you're neutral.

        then what
               may I ask
          do you bring to this equation?
From the plus side

An invisible wall,
Placed between two bodies,
In the middle of a bed.

Two distant lovers,
Sleeping on opposite sides,
Together, and alone.

One warm blanket,
A couple flat pillows,
Two stubborn souls.

Oh, okay.
I see how it is.
You're just going to
walk into my house,
tear down a wall,
carve out a door and
call it your own.
Right.
That's how it's
gonna be.
Fine.
But don't expect
a lion to be docile
when you rip
it's cave apart.
Don't expect i'll
take this lying down.
I'll take this standing up,
thank you VERY much.
I'd take it flying
if I could.
You'll be hearing from me
soon enough.
You owe me a door.
