Crush cut **** flip **** guns **** kids Sharp knife dig into the blood honey spread thick It’s a mode it’s a *** shoot show it’s a stitch Everyone will grow in his heavenly dome ring You’re already less eternal than I... By killing a kid in the blink of an eye I don’t need to believe in a heaven you see, I just feel the breeze in the arms of the trees You’re a smudge on a page A pen that’s exploded Not like the kids who’s blood will be moulded What will you do when your wind-up stops working? Your teddy bear lurking– its eyes can’t be fixed It’s too late now, you’re trapped in this - Where muddy roots mutate your tapestry wings...

**** Guns **** Kids
Adrift in shadows, hollowed by the night, Yet gratitude still flickers, frail but bright— A thirst for dawn, though weighed by whispered sorrow, We clutch the fraying thread of tomorrow. The ache of absence hums, a silent hymn, Melancholy’s wine pools to the brim. But in these ruins, treasures softly gleam: A map of scars where longing dared to dream. Our story trembles, ink on splintered wood, Yet pulses warm where hopelessness once stood. The thread, though thin, spills gold through vacant air— A silken ladder climbing despair. We’ll stitch the rift where darkness bleeds to blue, And weave the tale our hunger dares renew— For even fractured light still claims the skies, And dawn persists in tired, stubborn eyes.

Weave the tale
she ran a hand over her heart. the tip of her finger got caught in a small stitch tightly sewn to keep her heart together. but in that fateful moment, the stitch quickly unraveled, loosening her still-beating heart until the pieces could do nothing but stumble around each other, crumble into soft, maroon dust, and settle into her weary bones.

the unraveling.
looking up at the sky, wishing to be a part of is what we all dream of— then come those who stitch up their feathers to fly; to prove that you can own that sky with your efforts rather than chillin' if we really desired for the sky, we had been one of those but sadly, we can't make a difference though it's not late

I leave empty spaces of crowded stillness In hopes that past promises can sew themselves into the embroidered stitches of your wise words And you speak to me, unbound A heavy heart in your hand And I carry it, quietly, searching for its rhythm

Spaces
Done, ends stitched in a seam—set to be worn over yourself. A stain so bright, you sparkle. Too far forward to flip. The sipper, the straw, the soda. Bleeding ink every blink, but still brimming. Ripped apart like a rainbow. A love letter to life still in the works. So dead you’re divine. Only visible in the love-light. Weird as a plant that bites the bully, as a phlox sprouting through sand. Wingless like wind, fin-less like a fluid. Lost but listening to your own heart. Found.

YOU’RE
The sun rises above the white mountain-tops penetrating air crystals wondering the beauty. When the ice melts it flows down the heart as the snow breathes its ceasing stay in visit. You wonder where are the melted hearts you dig down the snow collecting faded flowers. Flowers of ice, flowers of lost illusions and misery flowers of love and hope you stitch them all in one.

I know how it feels to be lied to and alone. You tore out the stitches in me you have sewn. I should have guessed when "forever" you intoned. In your eyes, forever is brief. I wish I had known.

Sadness is as much A part of our life As happiness is and this is the reason I am writing now For tomorrow who knows I might barely be able to stitch The two parts together With one mention Of your name.

Show me your five closest friends and I will tell you, your past, They hang like stiches to cover what life has taken from you, You were born with eyes rotating 180’ Then the death started to walk on your back demons hunting you, So you evolved upright, 90’ no look back. We make friends based on what we need or what we have lost. Show me your friends, show me your scars, Now look at my friends, can’t you see I’m in pain.

ground set on fire
Not even all the love in the world could stitch you back together the very same way again. I know that now. I know. And maybe someday he will see it that way too. Maybe someday he will see that we are all fighting our own personal battles, and sometimes those battles don't fit well together. Sometimes our battles put together just create a whole new war. Sometimes those wars aren't worth putting your boots back on for. And sometimes it's the hardest thing, taking off your armor and giving up when you've been so used to constant day to day war cries and shrapnel. To let chaos consume you, to wait for it to pass over, is paralyzing. But all I know is you are tired, and you are too beautiful and wild to be kept down for long. All I know is I want you to find your calm after the storm.

For My Mother
We are all stitches in the cloth of the universe, each a moment holding the past & future together. For without these overlapping occasions we would become frayed. Undone not learning from one another. But we are but one stitch among the many colours that are woven as far as the eye can see. patches that collected together.

*Silver flame burn in her eyes as she tries to hold back her tears Dark shining fires   shooting like spears beating beats of fear. Rain drops falling the greyness in the field, by the river shine of the diamond devoid of the glitter slowly the sparks die. Rings don't bond them back unstretched the spring broken ties, empty hearts unopened carts but a game of cards. Moved back in position dreading the new season searching the reasons blaming themselves in those eerie silences. Fighting themselves to break but trying in hearts another stitch the tear too large a very hard wreck unlikely to be any merger.*

No merger
When we got together I quickly learned that he liked to fix things; whether it be cars, toys or even people. But I didn't need fixing. So he peeled me apart, petal after petal, until I was no more than broken glass on the floor. Then, he started stitching. Where he had ripped me at the seams he sewed my wounds together and glued the pieces back until he was satisfied. He was done knitting. What I forgot to mention was that he'd always grow bored a short while later so he eventually left me for somebody else "who needed fixing."

My mind is overloaded And overworked in accessing All fragments of the stored memories From the backup tapes. I want to clean up the older histories And replace them with newer ones but Stitching them together has become A predicament because What's the order of importance? What should be deleted and saved? How do you prioritize life's memories? Does it worth it?

Dyad - 83 -
Little needle face, With a long pink dress and teeth Too big for your mouth, You are but a doll with a back breaking slouch and chest made from cotton// your Little needle hands the machine that stitched yourself Together, the twine that holds your heart In place a Jagged knot of Cage and wire. Little needle girl, with a button nose and stringy hair, Please ***** all your tormentors The way I could never ***** mine, And never grow your body Back
