"bloodstreams" poems
GMO foods punch holes in cells permeate the gut, creating gaps in guts Leading to food floating in bloodstreams, rivers of pain Food allergies, ulcers, IBS .... these are the milder troubles I won't speak of  IBD, Cancer and Crohns disease Babies born now allergic to foods, children allergic more than ever They said, though the BT injected crops killed bugs, bursting their bellies that they were still safe for humans....They were wrong! Now these GMO crops are causing a myriad of gastro problems in people! Food crops are now Roundup ready in the Killing Fields.

We had recovering drug addicts come in Talking to us with their sunken Ashy eyes And sweaty palms You could tell they were nervous by the Way they carried themselves Cinder blocks and Broken piano parts And their pasts All clinging to them, For life support They talked about how easy It was to let gravity eat you alive As you are falling into a black pit You can’t stop the falling Their wings were bound to Pseudo lovers who Gave them bruised arms And blue fingers. If you are lucky enough to Escape the clenched hands of Addiction, The rest of your life will Be a walking tightrope act Trapeze dancers One slip and you are falling Even faster Harder than before. And your family, friends, Everyone you have ever known is In the audience watching you Fall into your premature grave And there is nothing they can do But tell you to fly But you cant Because you just love your Mistress too much To ever let her go. And they warned us about How hard it might be to say no To not let the circus come into Town, but if you do Only you can pack up the Lions, clowns, Colorful balloons. Someone asked them if they Believe drugs should be legalized And he responded with If I walk into a gas station And see drugs for sale I will Not be able to hold myself Upright. But I also do not want a government Establishment to tell me what I can And cannot ingest into my body, So I don’t know. Newton’s First Law of Motion States that something will keep moving Unless some force acts upon it. And once you start drugs Or gambling Or skipping meals it will progressively Worsen in time. Festering in bloodstreams Until you decide to stop it.

The blood boils inside my veins, heating every road in my bloodstreams corrupting my nervous system until there's an earthquake. How can I save myself when rescuing myself means dying? Surviving that's all we try to do. But when living is so hard and dying is so easy it makes me wonder, why are we still breathing when a knife, a safety pin, a pencil sharpener blade can take it all away? It seems we're addicted to pain. Whether in the form of trying to escape or trying to get by and I can't figure out which is worse. -k.d.

Surviving
in the landscape of you I am a wandering soul with but my words for protection as I make you my goal in the expanse of your vista, I wear the cloak of our depth your heartbeats in mine as we breathe the same breath I feel your rugged peaks, your valleys that sink your core's wildflower essence that stains me with ink I bathe in its fragrance, a tattooed poet's imprint in the primal spheres in my being enveloping my core all the clearer for seeing and when your rough tempest storms are afar, yet in view I dive straight to their center into the magnet of you for I will water your deserts infuse fresh creeks in your dry I will run through your forests as I call to your wild as I straddle your cliffs, festoon your tundra with blooms steam will rise from your earthcore and fill up my womb Through the dew on our lashes through my lava that flows, the stars in your eyes make my universe glow these geographic measures I take as you let me inside our bloodstreams merging as we get lost in the tides electric pulsed woodlands that spread iced wildfires slaking the loops of floodgates' desire and I will hold you together if you fall, torn apart bonded forever in this map of our hearts

geographic measures
I didn’t mind the incongruence of our hearts as we melted together like sticky-sweet ice cream on a nostalgic summer day, and I wore your fingerprints on my collarbone like a proud working man’s necktie as our molecules collided between our bodies in a miniature mosaic we couldn’t see – but we could feel Our bloodstreams were helium and our organs were neatly-knotted balloon animals and trumpets pounded behind our eardrums as we tried to stay afloat in our makeshift raft in the turbulence of Maybes and What Ifs but you choked on reality as I tried to breathe you a sonnet And the piano burdened our lungs as I tried to free the confusion from your eyes but they hid in your lashes and fluttered against the tip of my nose and invited a cathartic sneeze, and I felt like a jagged paper cut-out but you were smooth lines and symmetry I don’t know when the yelling started or when it ceased but the red stains on my face were the only recollection I needed and I packed my things in an origami suitcase and treaded down the spiral stairs and exited from the top story on wilted-flower wings

Oil and Water
Woke up early like I always do, no matter what I'm going through I sit and contemplate my present situation, like is this life worth living or am I wasting it, I got plans for myself but with what I know, I know there's a possibility of removing it from the shelf of possibilities, sometimes I can't control myself, so I get ****** off let some shots off and restock, my life is just a ramble that needs to be reshocked like defibrillators to your live stock, cause global warming turned to climate change and they make it seem it's not an issue by keeping your mind invisibly encaged and your nose in the tissue, I've been changing, so when it comes to blaming there's no one to blame but the cats who put our work to shame, **** the industry it's why I live in infamy like the US has for practically an entire century, continuing forensically but fail to catch their own trace of criminology, instead blaming you for your ideology passed down from generations along with theology, some things are more believable like the inconceivable evil that's injected inside the bloodstreams of my people, makin them turn from people to machines, **** that I'd rather be trapped in Saturn's rings but sometimes it's hard to stop some things - This world has been ruled, dominated, and conquered for thousands of years.. I think it's about time to let that **** lay to rest - Man I've been living for quite some time, and all I've seen is the world go from a bright shine to a darkened shrine, but I guess that's what will happen when you're born into a world that's already fastened their seatbelts for a global blastin, end the nukes end the fed end the ************* who will leave us for dead while they happily sit in bed waiting for their master Satan to come in faster, the worlds a disaster but it can be fixed if everyone pitches in to dethrone their "masters", mathematical factors plotting out disasters cause they're done on purpose like previous stories remastered, some will ridicule me but it won't matter when they realize the truth that's been hidden educationally generationally, you're serviceably useful to the machine aka the system, but the system needs you, you don't need to listen

My name is stolen like a Spaniard Inquisition, My heritage barely a patch of fog, What is the truth of myself unwritten?    " Your name is....You shall be called" My father once said, But I sign this name at the end of no poem, Are you sure this is my name? Have you navigated the flows Of lava in my bloodstreams, My geographical mind that beckons A deep bitter valley, Dark beautiful mountains that have Reclaimed by nature what my people Claimed her? Can you see my subterranean pyramids, My great moist jungles, Gutting out advanced mathematical models, Bleeding precise positions of stars, I can cry the Winter Solstice, Oh my proud heart pounds Through my chest with dreams of then, When the Coyote was sacred and the Nature of all things was balanced Even in the darkest days. Am I Gonzales from the old Spaniard name? Does my brown skin and hairless Arms not cry for the Aztec of my ancient Fathers? The root of my root, The flesh of my flesh, The veiny branches of a family tree Where wild flowers grow in The words of the Aztec bark, Bleeding its sap through me, Is this Spaniard to you? (I know the difference) Let me ask my blood: Do you not see the fire in my eyes? Don't you see the fire raining tears Of embers onto paper, Every word a burnt offering? Maybe one does not know of my Great grandfather in the valley Of Mixcoatl, there he lived as the last Nocturne, his great scar along his back, The last of a warrior Where he died among the stars of his fathers, The scar from a knife, a knife that Stole his true name! Has Olin and Ehecatl taken it With a breath of wind? I will take the Sun Stone with you Octavio! Take me home..... And I can see it! The noble people forgotten As time forgets all, My voice of the Warrior grateful And speaking like a shiny tip of Spear piercing the night wolf! I am no longer a riddle in the water, But a pure flow of immenseness, A profound respected beast, I feel the purity of ancient things, I dissolve into memory's ink, My combatant blood boils, The land flames of my fire, The people of the Sun! My ancestral blood with calloused feet, My ancient jungles, Tamers of beasts, Oh the Aztec Dream, Yes, I am what my blood says I am, What's in a name? The identity misidentified.

Last Friday night across a summer’s night the moonlit afire of cosmic presence endured a promise of good peace. As I entered my home, 9.13PM I received a text from my dad informing me that he’s been involved in a car accident. My flesh was worn out from the day’s activities, and melancholy added pressure to my bloodstreams due to my dad’s unfortunate event. I could feel uncertainty filling my unconscious mind, drowning in sadness ‘cause for the past six years its been a normality for him; facing insurance policies, getting medical treatment, a few calls from family and friends ... and he’s okay. I threw a heavy stone in my heart and it broke me, tears kissed my face and I cleansed my soul with them. Few minutes later he texted: “in 20 min. time I’ll be home,” and I wondered if this will happen for the sixth time, if he’ll survive another tragedy. But whispers of hope said, “you’re blessed, he’s blessed. be grateful. all is well.” And I was okay.

Last Friday Night
On behalf all of us who make bad decisions, and worse excuses for them I’d like to say that I’m sorry I heard about how hard you worked on that science fair project and how the teacher didn’t believe you Because a week ago, someone like me used the same excuse to get out of turning an assignment in on time. And I’d like to say I’m sorry, for all the exams you studied for days to get a C on and all the ones we aced without trying. I promise, it wasn’t our fault, we’re just lucky guessers I guess we could be little Irish Like four leaf clovers are running though our bloodstreams. On behalf of all of us who cried wolf, because we fell asleep and lost track of a few sheep. I’d like to say that I’m sorry that the boss didn’t accept the puncture wounds as proof because we went too far one too many times for anyone to be trusted anymore. For always taking the easy way out. For every little white lie we told, that snowballed into an avalanche and took you with it as it raced downhill. On behalf of all of us whose dog did not, in fact, eat our homework to you, the kid with a genuine excuse. I would have liked to say I’m sorry. I even had this whole apology written out -It was cool, and rather poetic, if you ask me- But there was this freak accident this morning involving traveling circus, a ******** and a ham sandwich -Trust me, you don’t want to know the details- Okay, you got me I guess some old habits die hard.

To The Kid Whose Dog Really Did Eat His Homework

Hello coastline Hello winter Hello solitary moonlit drive I'll be enchanting blank pages with poetry as you waste away city-side Tragic and lamenting but fading as I moan You are my empty ***** liter as I glide I'm the dawn breaking through your curtains as you roam Goodbye afternoons Goodbye white lies Good bye little lace ivory dress I'll be slashing through the semblance of symmetry as you ask the bartender for yet another splash You'll be beautiful on the pavement and novels of mystery as my overdrive desires and loneliness inevitably crash Hello bloodstreams and ****** Marys Goodbye falsified kindness and sorrow Hello sparrows and destiny's bone marrow Goodbye Hudson views and embraces on the ferry Hello empty skylines and generalizations Goodbye comforters and pillows side revelations You were so crimson in your shining armor You were so elegant as love's fine soldier I was so isolated in the stone and glass of the tower The lake sparkled like a diamond in our final hour Goodbye romeo, hello sad song's flow goodbye april hello unfaithful.

A quasi fog hole is born An urge to be somewhere Anywhere but these islands of bloodstreams Far maybe in Thailand What awaits next is a scaber of thresholds It's an unknown world if you fall and land here Shimmering camels going about their own biz Wearing demon suits with demon ties Auxiliaries conversing in Bonomos Common hats all practicing, choreographing all catacombs thundering novels that are occurring as they scream, pictures willowing one by one, second by second all occurring simultaneously ...and say again Awaiting ... Not occurring at all... Never had occurred at all

I stand at the doorway to the heart. The key my deep breath. Once inside energies tickle causing a smile to rise on face. causing sensations warm to enter bloodstreams. I stand, ready to take off in dance with my fellow neighbor. Ready to reconnect to sister, brothers, and animals. Mother Natures wind blows caressing me. Birds tickle ears to align with my own song. And as I move out, I know I am blessed and a blessing. I arrived home. I am home. Star BG © 2017

Doorway To Heart
Now you know that I’m just a borderline I’ll kick you out when my bloodstreams flow Even if a firm hand on mine could stem it, I let you in only to tickle the sinew and marrow But I love you, true, you’re my only glass case Needing you to borrow all my pain, I pinned your wings and made you taste The bile of my noncommittal pendulum again, again. Between the tumult of self hatred and desire’s embrace That dark dysphoria you found in seeing me Enflamed loss when I left the mire of us Without a battle calm instilled at the seams Allowing our hearts in the rolls of our sleeves We are dangerous.

Hello
Her words are boa constrictors causing detrimental suffering and sometimes even death, with her victims crying themselves to sleep every night, hyperventilating with every breath. Her raining punches feeling like a thousand needles piercing their flesh time and time again, her victims wonder why they get up each morning just to suffer the same pain. Her poisonous taunts run through their bloodstreams and haunt their minds; and lead some to scar their bodies and others to perish entirely leaving their family behind.

One, two, three, four, come and get me! You betcha, I will. She stared at her greenish, blue veins jolting through her pale porcelain wrists- like ancient twisted tree roots; growing, growing from her fingertips down to her toes. Reaching towards the heavens and stretching down towards hell. Or perhaps her veins were a lighting bolt electrifying her skin; striking her wrists, pulsing through her upper arms. Five, six, seven, eight She was one with the blood. Flowing through her bloodstreams, the universe inside of her. nine, ten, eleven, twelve... Shards of glass, like millions of angels coming to save her. She picked one up. Held it to her skin. She crawled into the bathtub. Watched the water turn red. Gotcha! Come inside girls, it's time for lunch! She finally understood who she was again.

Nineteen. Clueless and unprepared, I am diving headfirst Into a world for non-nineteen-year-olds, A system so precise and so imprecise that I cannot win A universe so unpredictable that I was better off eighteen. But now it’s time to reach out to destiny, Blow out twenty candles (one for good luck) And live life like everyone is watching. Ideas and goals have been ingrained into my mind Whether I like them or not does not matter, As they’ve made homes in my skin but don’t pay the rent And I cannot kick them out because we are symbioses ******* the poisonous vitals from each other’s bloodstreams. Suddenly, it isn’t so insane to think that my success Is not successful enough and that my wedding gown Could be my clothes on someone’s floor late at night And the future fades into never, not as a beautiful ripple But as a vicious surge, and I realize that Once upon a time is once upon a dream and My dreams are nightmares and I scream Through the night and I’m modestly nineteen So no one else is responsible to wake me up.

That first time we took a drink, let the cool fecund tides rampage over our tongues, down our throats and take up residence in the empty pits of our stomachs. We rejoiced. We danced. We consumed every and all in our path, relentless, like the silence that used to adorn our small corner of the world. They purse cracked lips to whistle at the ******* of the women that walk past, and clench fists as muscle bound males raise their hackles to ward them off. We want to fight. We want to beat the world into submission, to restore that silence that we crave but have learned to despise. Neon lights blind our eyes as we sway in tandem to the pulsing bass. We are one, We are animals. Hurricanes tearing through our landscapes Uncaring in the face of disaster we laugh manically, Tilting our faces back as we peel off our skin, Unzipping raincoats that don’t block out the sun. Holding our arms together in a twin bed Blocking out the ghosts of our past, listening to the fish tank whir remember the first time we drank, leaning timber against the faded wall, talking to mr. light even though he refused to answer, our bodies melded under fairy lights, I hold your lips on the tips of my fingers and Your heart in the palm of my hands And I cradle that small bird, breathing warm air Onto its feathers to help it grow. Tides pour through our bloodstreams, Pounding through our systems in overdrive, Weak hearts thrashing in their cages. What are we made of? Roots and veins and fragile paper skin Waiting to be torn by the hands of unworthy suitors? We am made of hot hard *** and the need for more. Something else. We are animals.   The bars of our cages dissolve in the acid breath of our highs We sing from the rays of the sun, Belting out operatic tones of our lives as if someone On the other side of the telephone is actually listening. Instead we day drink And night drink And huddle in cloth cocoons waiting to transform into our saviors. Remember that first night we drank, Enraptured under magnetic ceilings, Dancing together under the influence Of a potentially better world. Spinning star struck next to constellations Waiting until the room stops swallowing us whole So we can close our eyes until the morning, Smile drunkenly high on love, And maybe for once, we will sleep.

To Drink
That first time we took a drink, let the cool fecund tides rampage over our tongues, down our throats and take up residence in the empty pits of our stomachs. We rejoiced. We danced. We consumed every and all in our path, relentless, like the silence that used to adorn our small corner of the world. They purse cracked lips to whistle at the ******* of the women that walk past, and clench fists as muscle bound males raise their hackles to ward them off. We want to fight. We want to beat the world into submission, to restore that silence that we crave but have learned to despise. Neon lights blind our eyes as we sway in tandem to the pulsing bass. We are one, We are animals. Hurricanes tearing through our landscapes Uncaring in the face of disaster we laugh manically, Tilting our faces back as we peel off our skin, Unzipping raincoats that don’t block out the sun. Holding our arms together in a twin bed Blocking out the ghosts of our past, listening to the fish tank whir remember the first time we drank, leaning timber against the faded wall, talking to mr. light even though he refused to answer, our bodies melded under fairy lights, I hold your lips on the tips of my fingers and Your heart in the palm of my hands And I cradle that small bird, breathing warm air Onto its feathers to help it grow.

Reckon I'm Reckless A wreck when I'm reckless Tear open my chest They'll call it love But love feels like shards of glass Pierced my heart and vocal chords   Now, I found the perfect place Necks can bear a heavy necklace *Headstrong What's right, what's wrong Call on the broken mirror Can't see eye to eye Overwhelmed by lies, tick the time* And spit the words out, vainly cursed Pathetic bloodstreams, veins rehearse Trickle down the back of my mind Slipping away and the moon is bright Watched a face turned blue Confused about "how are you" And death peered through a window Fresh bodies, new blood, young girl *Headstrong What's right what's wrong Call on the broken mirror Can't see eye to eye Overwhelmed by lies, tick the time* The lost, unspoken, ruined regrets Twisted tongues, burnt cigarettes Filled to the brim I threw myself into the ocean Washed up on shore, unsure before But the salt seeped into my wrists Sea level rise, afloat miserable bliss *Headstrong What's right what's wrong Call on the broken mirror Can't see eye to eye Overwhelmed by lies, tick the time* Can't see eye to eye Overwhelmed by lies, tick the time

Eye to I
My nightmares are your dreams, my happiness, your screams It's all to me, as it seems, bloodstreams and lightning beams. A river of red rubies tears its way through my veins, Did you really think,we'll ever be the same? On and on we go,playing the same game, tearing ourselves apart into shreds of pain How could such beautiful eyes be so shattered, When my torn up soul,never even mattered When it was ripped to pieces on the ground, splattered ...and oh my you say, you feel flattered? Cut me down, watch me bleed Tell me now, was this everything you need? Let me fall,take the lead Drain me out,start to feed Just to fill your loathing greed. My misery wasn't enough,to fill a gaping hole? Take my heart and bury it in your ********* soul. Take it or leave it, it's burned inside out, trust me dear..all you have is drought So go ahead and break it and lose it all Lose the last thing, -your self control. Don't be so harsh on my sanity, you once used to worship my vanity. Take a look inside, just don't touch me. Cause a kiss from your lips would make me a banshee. My screams will echo through the earth, To let them know that my dead body has lost its worth To let them see me rot in hell To let them know what they can't compel To curse them all under my spell Those whispers on earth, they're just my rebirth.

I woke up on the floor From a party the night before Feeling like a train wreck, looking like a mess Trying to piece together last night’s events But my memory’s **** & my fishnet tee is missing So I roll up a cig, grab my coat and leave I’m losing count on how many times I do this routine Walking down the street Going through the texts I sent when you were asleep Telling you what drugs I’ve been on What I genuinely think, I know I’m a nihilist But I know I can also change in your company It’s funny how the heart speaks When ******* & MDMA is in the bloodstreams Finally, I’m home My mental state is melting like a Dali painting So I crawl into bed for a good rest Letting my body dissociate at the sight of 2PM Some people say this is a waste of a day But I didn’t think about that yesterday Now I scream **** MY LIFE” loudly from the inside
