Well, yes.
I am Sisyphus.
But baby, no one said you had to help.
In fact, *******.
I got this.
I mean, it's my mother-*******-rock.
I should know,
I picked it.
And yes,
I will push it up this *******-hill
over, and over, and over, and over again.
Just for the split-second that it sticks.
For that hairs breadth between me and death.
For the longing that steamed off my coffee this morning
as I stole a few blinks to catch up on my yawning.
For that smile that propenses
every time your lip tenses
as it sweetly condenses
the-thought of a kiss.
For the way
all your eyelashes
whisper
'just this'
For the moon
in the sky
in the stars
up-above.
For the fact that the Earth
is the Moon's only/love.
Cuz at the beginning of time
when their names nearly rhymed,
Oh the Moon,
she spun
fast-as-a-top.
So close to the locus
the Earth couldn't focus
onthat sweet-swallowed-secret
that Reva-in-Rock.
So the Moon was embarrassed!
Cuz the Earth couldn't see
just how beautiful cavernous moon-dust could be
and-Yeah
cleverer/lovers might have found other/druthers
but that Moon, she's as shy as can be.
So she took a step back.
In the hopes that this tact
might help her sweet-lady to see
the slow unfolding of her smile
an expansion of existence
to put infinity to trial
and every singularity
hidden in her grin
held a small
hiccup-of-hope
to the edges of its skin
cuz the scantest
scrap-of-chance
that this ruse might just still win
makes the act of
pitching-woo
look a little like a sin
but-****
don't it
Feel-Divine?
Just give me time.
I will find your lines and cross them.
If you let me laugh with you
I'll help you see how ******* me
is like eating the space between the phrase
'I-double-dog-dare-you'
and the word
'please'
You can't blame a Beast for Being
when existing is the only thing it owns and
honing-that-ferocious tends to try-the-tamer
cuz this
exercise-in-earthly
will never make me saner.
I got a-Beast.
With bones that moan.
She sleeps inside a cold-cave-stone,
don't-gather-no-moss.
She spends moonlights roaming countrysides,
and pushing rocks
to prove she's live.
