naked to flicker (the place where our tears go #1)
nothing
what am i
that
just that
i feel it
real
deep
under the skin
above my scratched fingernails
that smell like your smell
your baggy clothes
oh
they hide you
and your shapes
like a secret
of a friend
stabbing a friend
in the back
you don’t wanna say it
you’d rather staple your tongue
right beneath
the bottom edge of your
speaking terms
listen
your knees
crack
again
like the bones
of the dead
like mine
maybe i am dead
i didn’t
ever
think that i
would make it
all the way here
why are you a secret?
you want me
to peel all those layers
off
like a smiling face
scattered teeth
breaking those corners
where saliva gets solid
and my dream fade
i lose focus
i gain focus
on that cage
those white chains
of fabric
that hold you and your skin
in place
but you slide on the floor
you jump
from one side to the other
for me
you break yourself apart
for me
but it’s too late
i’m broken
i broke myself for you
orange, yellow
too many days wasted
keep on sliding
next to me
let yourself dangle
above this concrete marble
we call ground
point a gun
at my face
with your hands
form that shape
the one that’s gonna **** me
just like when
you decide to agitate
your crown
your throne
your body
i stop seeing sides
it all gets modern
contemporary social
vertical
like I can only stare
at the broken drama
of your fading
skinny
ribcage
oh you do
you lift that shirt up
it’s lined up
like a zebra
i feel your skin getting dirtier
at every single step you take
around my wooden room
the lights flicker
it always has
but is feels like
it’s flickering
in a different movement
it gets blue
my hands go up
they slide
around your slippery legs
you keep on running away
you can’t move like you wish
but i promise
if you could
if only you could
see yourself
and how your hands attract energy
you would
most probably
fall in love
with yourself too
isn’t it cold
with that belly button
ripped apart?
ready
where do those shoulders go?
how does that hair move like that?
i’ve seen unimaginable things
in life
i’ve seen many
i can’t find a meaning
to who i am
and why
but you
the camera flashed
you scream
cute
it echoes
around the room
we pass out
on a couch
still humming some
the sun’s dropping
on wires
hanging
through shoes
theown away
i wanna write
all of your letters
around my eye
i glitter
with bubbles
with teeth
golden
of diamonds
like moon
jumping up and down
in a sad
abandoned park
of fear
and abandonment
i told you
who i was
before
i swung
my gun
around
my car
filled with greenery
it’s growing beneath
my pink hair
and your lush
collar
for me to entice
to anticipate
to think about
as i’m scattered around your living room
on the floor
torn to pieces
blown away
in spikes
to the wind
it’s like
all the times
we traveled
we felt through something
i stared
at your skin
in a towel
through a balcony
the eiffel tower in lingerie
a gust of the ocean
out
let’s go all out
baby
we can
fall
through all those doors
those gothic windows
those old phones
straighten ourselves
our eyebrows
military
eyeshadows
lighs
they chase us
but we’re falling in
barefoot on
thumbtacks
on fire
a carpet
made of glass
roses
it felt all real
you felt real
if it was a lie
lie to me again
i wanna be lied to
i’d go through
a cup of scolding tea
for your running
by the sea
to come close
for your lipstick
to bend around my clothes
for the smell of your tears
next of kin
your legs closing in
skin to skin
