As a child I played this record,
reminded me of the warmly
of how she could unwrap the cord
and couldn't find me in the blankets,
of a jazz record playing in the distance,
mellow yellow and the 80s vibes
& I just wish it wasn't smashed alive.

That last one's illiteration.
Bread and eggs
And unripe 'nanas
Lead to constipation.
i hate being a burden.

my friend brings
food to my home.
he worries about me,
waits for me to swallow
like proof i’m still here,
even though i'm so lost,
so alone.

i can feel myself
splitting at the seams,
turning into
something i’m not.
something i fear.

i hate being a burden.

but i don’t know
how to be anything else.
this one is about the quiet collapse that comes when work swallows you whole.

A car backfires
rumbles from the racing line
to the finish line drawn fine
drinking pepsi,
and hiccups,
and is all over me.
An amateur production,
held together,
like the crisping crackers
and the on-watching lookers
as she approaches
on roller skates in a ponytail,
a sun sets in her wildly of lavish
and energetic of blue of eyes,
today a with red-ness flushing
of the blushing of my cheeks.

Sorelle 1d
I drink the night in drops so black
Tar drips down my splintered cracks
Lips that beg but never bite
For mercy’s hand
For one clean night
It settles in
Digs its claws
Whispers rot where voices pause
Drowning quiet in heavy dusk
It fills my marrow
Turns to rust
Solid shadows
Splintered bone
I’m breathing still
But not my own
Smoke curls sharp like serpent’s teeth
Echoes writhe beneath my grief
The air collapses
The pulse caves in
My lungs become a coffin's skin
It hardens deep
Nails me shut
No door to break
No light to cut
Only night
Only stone
Only death while I live alone
No escape from endless night
And I’m starting to let it love me.

CHRONIC CRYOGENIC

Poor thoughts, that die with me,
a mortal with airs of eternity.
Pretentious vanity,
and all for what?
to be dust.
Enamored dust,
of my own dreams,
like a romantic poet,
outside of my own time.
Too much self-love,
I want to freeze everything,
I will preserve everything,
everything valuable.
I'll let myself rot,
but I'll freeze my words,
I want to cryogenize my thoughts.
Too much in love with myself,
not to think of saving the best,
the best, those thoughts.
Prose in verses,
of air.
I will be a priest,
and I will sacrifice myself for Art,
I will cryogenize my soul in poems.
I will write tirelessly, while I still breathe.
I will do alchemy and preserve my life,
in those philosophical words,
preserves of poems,
chronicles of life,
of my life.
I will be a sick man,
a chronically sick man of living,
until the end comes to everything.
I am a chronic cryogenic of eternity,
that eternity that does not exist on earth, nor is it possible.
I will clone my poems in you,
you will be a clone of my words,
they will absorb you and revive you when you read them.

Words from a cold heart when it lived.
Words in the networks, in books, in diaries, on paper,
to float beyond the death of a frozen soul.
Chronicles of someone hated and revered when they lived,
someone who left no one indifferent wherever they went,
who loved himself so much that he cryogenized his poems,
only to be forgotten, without any remedy.
No one can conquer death,
but there is always the illusion
of donating something valuable,
a poisoned gift,
to be read,
to be enjoyed,
or, to be hated.
Cryogenic,
chronic
of living,
perhaps,
maybe,
it could
be.
