They hang limply from the walls as
Old friend DECAY settles
Suburbia Mexicana neons and
Obscene jabs in raspberry
Demonizing the scalp of an 18th cake
The lipstick is not dark enough to
Carry a meaning here

No scent lingers as the calendar turns
Another year burnt to death as
We move further away from coincidence
And desperately memorize the lines of a
Modern work, every brushstroke an intellectual
Marvel so if we stare enough it will enfold on
Itself to glass

Guten morgen, Herr Schicksal!
Would you be so kind as to
Dissolve the peppermint stench
And leave the shower on?
I may see a reflection through the
Steam and like it more than yours
I never much liked chloroform or
Frosted roses

Settle on with
Delusions of Poland
And lazy eye tangos
With naked melodies re-vamped
By a 21st century greaser
Please don’t leave
Hail to Canon, brute of mine!

“solch ein zufall”

pech *******so gemein:
gemeint ist die wahrscheinlichkeit,
des schicksals vermeintlich befreit,
(weil wenn etwas schicksal ist,
glaubt man der statistik nicht)
das kann nur ein zufall sein.

und solch ein zufall-
“das kann nur schicksal sein.”

Maybe fate
is a woman
and that's why
we bury the dead
with flowers
Specifically roses.

calling out: a body
                   without a shadow,
and then, "calling out"
a shadow, without a body...
                     xenomorph...
the secret satantic hierarchy...
               of all the pleasures,
pain,
   have ever gripped me,
to sustain the experience
of fathoming the brilliance
of, pleasure...
              tier 1, go,
    tier 2, go,
tier 3: go...
                 and how will i
structure behave:
if find the game of chess,
within the confines
of the current, political climate?

how will,
we ever,
refine the finding of chess,
by having to redefine it
in terms of game
counter-game?

always, forever always,
with the culmination
of counter-culture against
               "collateral" damage...        
schicksal, und mann...
              ausbeute:
              mann contra mann...
before me,
not a mere thought,
but, the countless submerged
to the confines of death,
       came by,
the ones,
at the flattened pyramid
         table...
          lord of silence,
of supreme desolation,
                          only man
would have governed the
plague of fate,
that man, unto man,
would have,
or could have,
ever experience...
                these halls,
of the hoarded itches
of the horde to come,
to give it the ****,
for...
                a believence to
be scuttling imitation
of rats...
  my grand:
sinking ship....

          i learned the inverted
way...
i can't be welcome,
plateau citizen...
   "british"...
given that some irish, ******...
expect me,
to treat him,
peasant,
       as something akin
to a king...
           see, you had me,
when, my fellow,
treated me as his own fellow...
it became...
"problematic"...
                  when my fellow,
bound himself to be of status:
king...
and i? a ******* mechanical
variety of dishwasher...

           nope...
              i'll sooner **** you,
than, succumb to this...
sort, of, irish *******...
"simply" because...
it couldn't be translated into
english...
you,
   dying, irish, ****!

now please excuse me,
while i punch myself,
and nibble on my knuckles...
and pray...

         for a translation from
the worth of knuckle itching!
i hope i fail...
but i just pray for...
the chance to
              experiment
with an outlet!
      give me a chance to express
my grievances
against an outlet
of a worth of a canvas...
i'll give you one source
of grievance...
               i wanna head-****
     an irish man...
as much as i want
to circumcise semi-irish mongrels...

like i said:
i'm fully integrated...
i've learned the locals'
     prejudices.

Ich bin verliebt in dich, das stresst mich.
Ich sollte es nicht sein.
Es  fühlt sich in meinem Herzen an wie ein Stein.
Am liebsten schau ich dich den ganzen Tag an,
bin in deinen wunderschönen Augen gefangen
und ein Lächeln von dir ist mir noch nie entgangen.
Dein wunderschöner Kopf, welcher sich an mir vorbei dreht.
Ich drehe mich um und sehe sie, wie sie am anderen Ende des Raumes steht.
Ihr Blick trifft immer auf deinen, man könnte schon fast meinen es ist Schicksal das zwei Menschen immer an der gleichen Stelle erscheinen.
Da ist es schon wieder, dein wunderschönes Lächeln was mir nie entgeht und wie sich dein Körper jetzt erhebt.
Es ist kein Schicksal, nicht einmal.
Du allein bist daran Schuld.
Schluss mit meiner Geduld, ich wollte dich doch gerade noch etwas fragen und auch du hattest mir noch etwas zu sagen.
Die ganze Woche habe ich mich darauf vorbereitet mit dir zu reden, wollte dir vielleicht auch ein paar Signale geben.
Während ich also überlege, wie man die Signale am besten in einer Frage tarnt,
sehe ich das ihr euch umarmt.
Du hast unser Gespräch einfach verlassen,
Mal wieder kann ich es nicht fassen.
Ich bin soweit das ich die Wahrheit nicht mehr leugne, ich weiß das ich dir nichts bedeute.
Also bleibe ich stumm.
Ich bin verliebt, aber nicht dumm.
Fiona Feb 8
Ich denke an dich
und die grelle Nacht
hat keine Stimme mehr.
Alles was ich höre,
kann ich nix mehr.
Die Farben der Nacht
leuchten nicht so wie
deine Augen,
Alles was ich will—
Alles ist Liebe.

Deine Rührung
sehne ich mich nach.
Der Mo-ment
wann alles kl-ingt,
Warte ich noch.
Ich weiß, was ich sehe,
was ich fühle,
aber mein Wunsch
ist mein Schicksal.
Doch du könntest es auch sein.

///
I don’t know what to do with these feelings.
