LONG AGO
FAR AWAY

LIFE WAS CLEAR

the music whispered to him
anguish
he's never felt this before
but it felt like everything

it was the cruel heat of the afternoon
and the boiling skin of an alcoholic
that dried his tears

and he tried to remember

what is now
television static

and an endless hum
from broken air-conditioning

and dead rotting fm radios

how dead rotting memories
reminded him of what once was

CLOSE YOUR EYES

it's her

distorted

her eyes were blue

and she smelled like fish
and gasoline

her skin was red-purple

her words were poisonous

ι ωιℓℓ ηєνєя ƒσяgєт уσυ, she said

out loud

in a decrepit cathedral, her words echoed

her family of skeletons were there

his family of maggots were, too

god was their witness, but he was busy with another billionaire

it was the most beautiful day in their lives
and now this is all he sees

some pastel hell by bosch

with pointless dalinian remnants
of hours trying to figure out

why it had to end that way

oh, why it had to end

it ended

but you left it in a ****** to **** state, the ends of the threads

and now
confusion will never leave

the music
will sound of unborn mosquitoes

untuned pianos

her voice in lullaby, stretched to infinity

his silent, muffled, choking screaming

w҉h҉y҉

why.

how long has it been

it doesn't matter

this will last

forever
