Jesus, Ect.

capsized beating purple algorithm

for a heart,

cross-nit aspirations

still taste dirt on my teeth,

the mission creep of eager eyed poets,

carry a briefcase with my levi's --

close cut cigarette encounters,

all brick shantytown of a friendship

them lovelies run on endless,

it's starting to get cold outside.

 

restless sprites circle our *****

exhaling greek mythopoeics

every sure footed step.

alcoholism echoes in my skin

a depth charge i cannot cut out,

we all have broken thoughts here,

all have blind spots in our stomachs,

they read like a preacher's insecurities:

burly things we warm ourselves with,

the winters sting bitter.

 

something is wrong with me,

sinkhole of ambition and honey kisses,

all the great thinkers **** themselves,

it's the staunch lack of spotlight,

way the earth drips lackadaisical-like

we just call it a perfect orbit.

shake my hand and feel a goldilocks pulse

anemic shards of a cornered animal,

we cut right

to the bone

here, or so we tell ourselves.

 

and love is always the answer?

that sure footed toothy angel

so beautiful, it couldn't just be our

churlish blood,

frothing and calming,

frothing and calming,

electrons rise and fall to create light,

they still circle an untapped atrocity

perfectly,

like this, like it must be

god

or something close. something

stopping them from running, free

from bonds ionic or otherwise,

bare feet

beating the pavement until there are

no more stones to throw.

 

firstborns of the universe,

each star is a setting sun,

blinks staggered,

still grew us up quicker than most,

there is no aphrodisiac like heliocentrism.

 

them bones cut good

doped up on oxytocin,

those empty thoughts still rattling,

dig sharp -- then nice and numb.

 

and we cutthroat and glossy,

sharper than ever.

 

walk outside

smoke a cigarette

know how much you love her,

look at the stars --

 

it's ******* beautiful isn't it
