epithelial etherealized
i can't look in others' eyes
just want some lateral sliding and subduction
i don't need a production
just a bit of science...

red clay beneath my nails
in the dry cracks of my wintered hands,
feels like I'm holding Georgia

Flesh and bone atone
You are the soul slayer
I yearn to be all things
Open my eyes and truly see
My body but transportation
A figment of creation and imagination
Underneath this flesh there is knowledge
That shall bear fruit and flower
I am growing, I am a shoot
I am air and water and earth and tree
I am honey bee
I am bird

I am free

i'm not speaking of concrete skies
brittle streets
or wallstreet highs
concrete cities city street brittle walls barriers skies spoken ideals

I am a cheerleader for the bones I see through my skin,
and the darkness of night often feels close to kin.
But I pray to the sun for it to cure my head.
I want to be strong, or I want to be dead.

last night in your arms
is like the feeling of
ocean waves
still rocking my body
as I drive 7 hours home
