You’re lying

Take electronic words
Pull out their wires and rearrange them
Make new finished phrases
That only suit my suspicion
Haven’t spoken a single word
Yet blasphemy runs in binary
And I’m yelling at the phone
But sound waves don’t sift
From speakers to your ears
Hands pierce screen with screams
Typing as quickly as thoughts
Can make nerve connections
with fingertips like the tainted ones
You used to graze my skin with
***** and repulsive
Let the light loosen from the
Backs of my eyes
Place down the hype
And let nicotine smooth my
Stuttering mind
Stuttering thumbs pulse a glass table
Energy escaping calming rational ready

I think you’re lying, can we talk?

A newer spectrum
starts to develop in a once
dark room
The negatives finally create
something beautiful
Thin pod sprouting roots
trading grey for green
Life moves like a
movie scene
Unknown unexpected
Grab hold little vines
Take pictures for proof
Keep time and patience
Wait for new gradients
to be revealed
Soul healing in color
Body healing in sound
Feet firm on the ground floor
of this home
New tones
New visual and harmonic bones
Relationship strong between
plant and soil
And the spectrum changes intentions

She has never cried wolf
But she cries so much
The sheep are starting to scare

Even the wolves
Pull back a touch
Her howls are much deeper than theirs

This visceral scream
No one knows what it means
But it shakes and haunts the town

The people don’t seem
To need to know what it means
They just know they let her down

This path in front of me
may not always be what it seems
or what I dream
or what I want
or what I think I can handle
or what I think I can’t
it doesn’t even care what I
think at all
or if I’m scared I’ll fall
or afraid to get up
or stuck in a rut
or down on my knees
All it shows me
is exactly what I need
I get to choose how I proceed

Calendars fall from
Vibrating walls
Hear fireworks in the distance
I sit alone on my patio
Trying to find some resistance
To feeling cold and alone
Usually I’d be out with friends
Had a boyfriend for years
So I always had someone to kiss
And I can honestly say I do not miss
One bit of dressing up or
Making small talk over
Warm ranch dip
No
It’s fitting I start a new
Number on these pages alone
Hang a new calendar
New instructions
Make life my own
All this negativity can happily leave
Instructions
Day one:
Just Breathe

I’m not changing anything this year
That’s my resolution
I’m letting go of taking control
Seeking an informal absolution
I’m letting me forgive myself
And letting the world forgive me
I’m not following any direction
From the wrong energy

I’m letting my journey
Unfold like a letter
Knowing the story
Will only get better

The lines are written in invisible ink
More will be revealed
I will change when I can turn the page
And rest to best be healed

Suffering scales fill the page
Angry tones and recorded rage
Violent words come out sharp
Raises flat phrases and
a furious heart
Only get to play with
the instruments I’m given
Off key notes
are all that’s being written
You can undoubtedly hear that this
*****’s out of tune
Crashing the symphony between my ears
someone needs to fix it soon
