Ghosting
September Dec 2013

those worries in your fingertips.

Love in Strange Places
September Dec 2013
Time heals all wounds, but
scar tissue is always visible in light
and feels smooth to fingertips in the dark.

Time heals all wounds. Time heals all wounds.

Time has never healed me—
And I was never wounded.
Yet my entire body is smooth in the dark.
(I am yours—but you do not want me)

Mean or meaning:

Hardened hearts drip black paint.—
even bleach couldn't soak you out
so I dyed my soul
black to hide the stain.

Hardened hearts drip black paint.
I found that out last night
when I tainted my first white shirt.
Hardened hearts drip black paint.

I'm sorry.

The Ego.
September Dec 2013

Celebrate and Regret

4. Perhaps flirtation-
Music taste, or lucky liquor.
Perhaps loneliness.


5. Never spoke a word,
Until substance set us free
Upon each other.


6. We were nothing more
Than slutty dancing, slurred words,
And a messy bed.
4, 5, and 6. JV, JG, and JR. Put together because it made sense this way, in alphabet and in circumstance.

Helpless
September Nov 2013
I'm standing above you like a mechanical crane
you reach up your iron bars and I rotate away—
working on the next steel work frame of my life.
you are irreparable, and I am not strong
enough to carry
even the pieces of you.
I am building a beautiful tower, and this time, it has the framework down.

Let Me Go
September Nov 2013
And if you find me
(fingers red)
holding onto the side of your
no-vacancy boat—

please, step
on my fingers because
the pain of that is less than the
hope of hanging on.

I've always loved to
float
alone.
It's okay to say you don't want me. It stings, but I can handle it.

Rose Garden

You remind me of my first acid trip.
Of all the quirky people in the world
holding handfuls of trees

You're the one I would like
to wrap in ivy leaves and
take home.

Can you believe me?

I will unwrap you in a year and we will
find god under the sea.
Swimming like seagulls, fishing like carpenters—
we have no skills but we will build a house.


It will be a simple house.

we never found god.

Lost Love
September Oct 2013
"Munro, one day you're gonna hate the world"



For a reason you never told me, you always called me by my last name.
Maybe you were avoiding the same name of the girl before me
(who loved and was never loved back)
And saying it made the truth so much more real.
You're a murderer.



"And it'll all be because of me."
I'm still waiting to see if your ego was lying or not.

I rust like an iron oxide coating

Supernova, how I wish,

Two years ago could never
come back
so fast.

My present is paining me.
I retreat into my past.

Basics

I'd do a lot for a little
bit more than your eye contact.
Compact as you sway.
Staying away. Staying away.
We get slightly close
then drift once again.
I leave only with your name
but it's one I didn't gain
from your mouth.
flirty eye contact is my favorite eye contact.
***** that I leave tomorrow.
oh well.

First Love and Phone Calls
September Oct 2013
I am sitting beside a line of white powder and my mind turns to you, states away. I can hear your voice—a memory—snorting. Would the dreams bring you back. Would the dreams bring you back. I dream and you pick up the phone. I breathe and you pick up
another needle.
