Chrysanthemum
The hawk circled the canyon once
Drifting on gentle wind currents
Natural silent

That ******* could be my spirit animal

A tooth in my pocket
I broke in a bar fight
Big Blondie broke a chair on my lips

As I lay there screaming through my fingers
Warm blood seeping through my skin
...maybe I do deserve it

Everything smelled like beer, ****, and dirt
Maybe that's rock bottom

No, I hit rock bottom
When you folded me up
And slipped me between the pages of your book
Leaving me on the shelf to wither and die

I buried my tooth on the edge of that canyon
Where the hawk circled
Then I thought of you no more

Italics
Crippled letters of mass destruction
Split my globe in two
A left hemisphere full of right handed clones
A right hemisphere brimming with sweethearts

It's so warm down south
Where fingers search
For life in the bog
Ah, there in the shallows
I found your frog

Heavy
Lead ***** Indian
glowing on the desert
horizon
plastered on a postcard
taped to the dashboard
your palm reads like a road map
to hell and back
scars made up and stapled shut
lipstick stained paper cup
crystallized amphetamines in a bag
coat hanger lock pick
got me in
not out of this
drink up little darling
liquor costs me nothing
tongue on your neck
sharp teeth on your neck
dull teeth on your neck
love me to death
**** me to death
drink me to death
share a cigarette
yeah yeah
share a cigarette
all your gonna get
all youll ever get
down in the canyon
with the coyotes
they all wanna know
all wanna show
what im dealin with
up up goes the bottle
down down goes the fire
into my head
playing with knives
got me ******
standing up straight
stumble heavy
apologizing for preying
on a defensless calf
blood suckle sunday
desert flavored sundae
rattle snake humming
son of a preacher
call call
yellow eye
call call
blue eye
call all the children
back to the fold
I'm part of the pack now
feeling so fast now
teeth to the throat now
yeah yeah heavy is the lust
heavy is the lust
heavy is the lust
heavy is the lust
heavy is the lust
heavy is the lust
for blood] for ****[

Sally
*****,
Wag your tail
Put me in your mouth beautiful

Let me swim around awhile in them eyes you got

Jump up and down
on your fingers

Twist my tongue
Linger
Linger

It's
okay
to
want
suicide

I am your bullet
                  
Do you like my scars?
I hate them...
I took a razor to them once... and the scars grew
Sally-step-on-the-cracks
Break me in half
I want hands and fingers
Broken

Tears that shine like the skyline

A whimper and your whine
The back seat heat
Thunder beat


I am so hopped up on crystillian summer
I fell in love with your beach towel
And your bikini falling off

Bruise
Stamped out like a fire
I cooked you on the stove
Thick on a spoon
Over the coils
Until you just
Started to boil
The wonderful
Thrill
Of
Blood
Stopped up quick
And the drip of the needle
The flavor
The kiss
Back black nowhere
nothing
never
ever
ever
ever
cared

Locked
You felt like paper
Flimsy and unsure
I was afraid to take
A picture with my
Mind. You might
Float away when
the flashbulb shines
Losing control of
Everything
Because all I can
Remember
Is kissing you in the summer
Sliding my hand up the back of your skirt
I loved you
I really really did
When I knew nothing else
But the skin on your face
Glowing green in the dashboard light
I cant think of another line for this poem
My heart is too broken to remember the rest

Paralell universe
Ransom note
Bluegrass makes me cry when its slow
I think about Pittsburgh and your apartment
The corner bar
Down the street where we leaned on the stone
Terribly drunk
Love sick
I touched your cheek
Your soft hair twisted in my fingers
The day you packed your case
Slamming it on the bed
Your face red and full of tears
And I couldn't drink enough
And I couldn't stop the train wreck
I turned to stone there sitting on the edge
Of |our| bed
I ****** everything with a pulse to get your taste off my tongue
But it lingered on the sheets and |your| pillow
The sheets once blessed by your silken hips
Love can ****, but I think cheap ***** will beat her to it

— The End —
