and

uncut toenails mock the vanities of the living

continually growing fibrous and strong

a shrinking self

 

a light lunar pull

draws he deepest depths to your eyes

they puddle at the surface

who am i, to dip my toes in?

 

lightly perched upon beautiful

bare feet

what a magnificent sole

 

lost

not that is matters

everything is cyclical

everything is peachy

 

a sour spot on you left side

or was it the right

three days, falling apart already

 

and some rise at this hour?

 

dogs run rampant

myriad cigarettes protruding from their necks

effects of an american economy, hopelessly dependent

 

cute pooch, that look

that look

just jonesin' for a ***

 

who is he

to know what's really goin on

everything is out of his control

 

the cotton woods wailed

and sandwiches fell

and i don't every really feel that alone

 

i am becoming unwanted

death

destroying worlds

 

sometimes i look at the moon

fat and dull

and just keep thinking

 

resting on the crest of a sliver

cloaked in a starry embrace

an apathetic upturned smile

 

satisfied with all that goes on

wistfully wandering towards dawn

incandescent beams pierce her supple skin
