google drive kept telling me
it's not too late
month after month for years
succumb succumb
your memories at gunpoint
succumb, forfeit your money
i promise you'll be glad
it's all good faith
it seems i've waited far too long
kept saying it's not worth it
without a back-up plan
i thought i'd never need it
but now i'm lost out in the hills
and i've lost something here
and i don't know what
no memories remain
i plead to you great corporate god
above, below and omnipresent
return to me all memories
that i've held dear
i'll give you all my money
i'll betray to you my flesh
take it take it great corporate god
return my memories to me
i dreamt of sunflowers in water
and endless hills; green, rolling
i dreamt of dolphins dancing in the waves

i dreamt of all-surrounding grasslands
and cloudless skies; clear, blue
i dreamt of goldfish leaping through the heavens

I am a proud Irish elk
and I am starving to death

mother, o mother
the river and the rain
do not shed your tears for me
mother, o mother
the sun and sky above
fret not, rest easy
i am dying
mother, o mother
caressing wind,
tempestuous monsoon,
i am sorry,
sincerely,
with love
Nameisis Dec 2024
in love we are eternal
and our flesh will never know decay

i drink coffee
when the moon is high
and smoke cigarettes
way before dawn
i drink too much
never enough
and love too much, too many
all the time
and everything i do will one day **** me
there will not be enough space
on my tombstone
to write down every cause of death
and i will never live enough
and i will never be alive
never grow old
even when i'm eighty
with my knees and back forever aching
i will not have learned enough
to be anything more than young
and i will die forever young
unlearned, unwisened
decaying body
melting snow
Nameisis Dec 2024
only things true
are love and death
and loveless people don't die
they simply disappear
