animating your fears and
character assasinations
in my direction
(as an attempt
by your ego to protect
that black-iced velvet heart
that's dying to know
the me I really am
or already does
and wants a reunion)
I'll be here
just
being me
this brain, this pulse
this history all on display
and FYI, I've
never shown mine
like this to anyone -
every millimeter of skin
every satin-wrapped dream
every jagged edge of broken
every malady that made me
me
your ego says
oh hell no, because
it knows my laser eyes
and furnace heart are gonna
burn that mother to the ground
with just one look
(a.k.a. 10,000 jade-lit
kaleidoscopic stones)
and in its place,
architect realities with maybe
a mother-in-law cottage
for that grippy gripe old bat
(at best) out back
behind crystal palace
atop bone graveyard
while we dine on serifs
washed smooth by
thrashing shores
on cosmic waterfront lot
with sugarsand paused
crystalline, still and
completely
ours
