Somewhere alone,
she cries her hurt aloud.
Can you hear the screaming
                        of the girl of bones?
Her beauty is wasted--
hunger pains are her only comfort--
With only her bones
      and beating heart
Slowly,
      Slowly,
            Slowly
Wasting away
                       away
                             away...
She waits for someone
      to tell her
how beautiful
                        her eyes are.

Somewhere between
      space and time
A young boy walks alone
Through a dark corridor,
      lined with doors
      all locked and
      dark inside.
Lost and afraid, he used to search
      for a brightly unlocked door...
Knocking, knocking
      looking, searching,
Such hope he used to have...
Still he walks,
      alone in the dark
Waiting for someone to
      welcome him
            home.

Sunshine burning on my cheeks--
I kiss the wind
As my feet trace the skin of the earth--

Will you dance with me, my love?
It is a very difficult type of dance;
The name of it is "Life."

Will you dance with me
Until the music fades?
Until the last heart beat
Ends the rhythm?

Sunshine will burn on our cheeks,
The wind will kiss our lips
As our feet trace the skin of the earth.
old poem from an old journal.

I don't really exist.
I am only here
because you
imagined me
into
existence.

When you
forget about
me, I
disappear.

*(When I'm gone
I (do)n't
want to come
back.)

Sometimes I wish I could reach up
and tear this reality to shreds
I'd dig my nails into its flesh
and peel off its skin and watch it
bleed all over my laughing face

I imagine it would be improper
to ****** without first
washing your hands


**My skin is a like a
body bag,
holding my
dead insides
inside

tongue traces teeth

pushing

pushing

is it moving?
it's moving!

wiggle wiggle
oh my God it's
MOVING

reach up
fingers touch the tooth
anxious like a child
with their first
loose tooth

teeth
teeth
teeth
teeth
nightmares:

gaps and spaces
sinks full of
blood
and
TEETH

push them back in!
--fall out again--
push them back in!
--blood on your fingers--

if pushed too hard,
could that make them

gums sore

gums not growing

pearly white
holding tight

a real phobia of mine.

can you be inspired
without imagination?
can you imagine
without intelligence?

can one dance
without music?
can one write
without words?
literally, words written on the back of a journal.
