could it be the Rats,  '
that
scurry through thee Attic...  ''
...tracking up the muddy Floors
of
porcelain Dolls?  '''


''  Hollow......only full of
omens n Bats...
'  ...stabbing through their Bone,
opening their Follicles.




'''  colder than a frozen Vat
that
shatters after Burning...
...turning to a blade of Grass
that
gathers into Stone.


only one of ****** Thorn

'went to a Store -- looking for Morals;
sorting through Books -- looking at Stories.
the
more i would Look -- the more i was Lost;
lost in a Book -- a book without a Cause...
i
bought it off the Devil -- read it in Awe...
...all of its Flaws -- costed a Sum.






.

deep between Jupiter
and the
moon's........Crescent,
thee
essence of Universe,
is
looming in Peace.

sometimes i wonder if i Learn anything -

sitting in the back of class with etchings n Sketchbooks,

looking through dimensions of a delicate World,

burning through the canvas with mechanical Pencils,,






.

-







to
day i found a Letter;
turned it to a set of Books...
...look in side the Covers
at the
verses of a cursive Message:



sigils of a Slumber;
burnt in side a den of Soot,,,
...footed under Beds,
headed with a Testament.







.

sometimes i Wonder...
if
black........People,
eat
Animal crackers...




...Right?!!






.

all of these Books
have
cluttered my Backpack..

..leaving no Room
for
diaries n Drawing pads.




still i have my Pencil.

if
mirrors  teal  my  Soul;
then
so  do  those  Eyes.

i
hear you speak in foolish Pride - when
pried apart from all your Fears.  but
Here you wreak of putrid Lies  -  n
smile Scars of all your Tears.




i
hear you speak in foolish Pride - when
pried apart from all your Fears.

sometimes i wonder why
luna never opens her Other eye.

He speaks in a way

I can understand,

i can speak the Language

passion is All,
all youll ever Have in life...
...why would you spend half the time
deCiding on the things you bought?..

..after all youve Lost.




passion is Blind,
high from all the things youve Seen...
...speaking of Eyes?
i can spy the tallest Bluff.











but
passion is Coy,
coiled like a royal Snake...
...take it as a Ploy:
the
poison of a pointed Spear...

...fear the king of Cobras.




passion is Deadly;
reMember all the things you learn...
...burn it in yer ******* Head
n
get it in Check.












passion is Evrything,
evrything you Need in life...
...why would you buy Any thing
that
sells at such expensive Prices?




passion is Free;
free the Mind n body Follows...
...talking is Cheap,
here in sleepy Hollow.

...how low can you Go?












passion is Green;
read between the lines of Red.
the
devil is Hiding...
...hiding in the Text.



my
passion is Hatred,
hatred of the word of Love...
...nothing is Sacred,
nothing but the taste of Blood...

...luscious is my Name.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
Walk with me n be my Friend:

calming all the thoughts of Death.


Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
Talk to me if no one Else.
"tell me what to do aGain?...

thrall the Call of ocean Odlaw.

laughing as you watch me Ball.


Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
all you Do is use my Tears.
here you Are with all the Cotton,
swabbing all my flaws n Fears.


Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
call me what you always Do:
stupid Queer n weird n Ugly."dont

Mirror Mirror on the Wall;

Chanting like a ******* Trucker,
Cussing like a ******* Sailor.








Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
Hollow be my only Name.
satan stole my only Halo:
angel of a broken Cross.


Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
Follow me n see my View.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall;
all you Are is all i Am.

let my Brain remain aSleep,

shed the Tears n steer the Ship,
shifting Gears n piercing Threats:
threading Needles  --  wielding Stitches.

we
All draw conclusions;
and
far too usually we keep the card we Pull.
when
pulling from a wholesome deck of endless possibilities,
we
seem to always pull it from the Top of the deck.


depending on whether that deck's been Cut,
and
whether or not we thought to Check...

...whether its been Shuffled;
theres
nothing we can do or say to sway the possibility

of pulling a joker.

what does it Mean
when yer
dog barks at Socks??






-

when
"time has Gone for far too Long,
and
all you Have are bags of Sand;
ill
hand you Mine and watch you Fall.
it
always makes me laugh.






after That ill dry your Tears,

clear your Eyes and hide your Sadness.
the
fact that I have cried for Years,
a
pears to be a napkin."






i
panic at the sight of love,
the
comfort of another Hand.
i
panic at the slightest Hug,

tugging from its Grasp:






Gasping as i try to Smile,

wider than i ever Have:

masking that i find you Vile.

"Liar Liar pants on Fire."

ohhhh -- meDusa,
you
Need Not reMind me
what
lies behind those Eyes..

..i have Seen it.

(cant Sweep):




now i gotta Brush,
fluffing up the Pillow,
oh i mean the Quill!
still i dream of Colors
but i
love the way the Willow,
over grows my Shadow
as im
dozing in the Shade,
dazing in the Comfort
of a
bunker under Window sills
n
silhouettes of Widows.

'funny how Some people find it so Necessary
to Alienate someone for a lack of inDulgence,
passion and inVolvement in a fraudulent Lifestyle..

..i would rather pass my Time in padded aSylums.

that was so Funny
that
i forgot NOT to laugh.

funny how Song stops
mocking in the Cadence
after
eight or nine Trials
of
heightening Water.




funny how Comfort stops
docking on the Stitching
after
six or seven Temptings
of
severing Threading.




funny how Thought stops
rocking in the Shower
after
five or six Drinks
of
sinking deSire.




funny how Hunger stops
knocking on the Door
after
four or five Tries,
like
everyone Else.




funny how Feeling stops,
and Laughing starts.

sometime i Feel...
...rilly ilLiterate.








other times i feel like im the spawn of an Owl;
possessing all the natural embodiments of Human,
  consuming all the knowledge of the Novels that ive read,
dressing in the fabrics of a fabricated Lifestyle.


i


stand be fore the World....Head  Facing  Backward;
wording all my Letters n addressing all my "Feeling",
fearing all my Sightings n reciting all its Message:
effortlessly Miming all the Gestures that ive learned.

speaking of People...

You  --  and I  --  held eachothers Hand,
standing under Bridges  --  wishing they would Fall.
but
all that ever Happened was a tragic death of trending Fashion:
passion  --  deScending  --  the Setting  --  coLapses.

lasting little Memories would never be an Ending that we'd
ever dream of Having  --  "after all weve Been through"...



(you would call me Clyde  --  i would call you Bonnie,
you would call me Jack  --  i would call you Sally,
you would call me Trash  --  i would call you Garbage,
you would call me Back  --  i would call you Beautiful.)



...you and i are Enemies  --  empty headed Hatters.
shattered glass of Everything  --  everything that Matters.
madder than the dreaded Queen that seeks the head of Alice:
Malice  --  Malice  --  Malice  --  Ecstacy.
