You looked much prettier with long hair
do you ever wonder about the difference between looking at something and the hallucination created when looking past it? if you look at your hand it's all you can see but if you look past your hand there are now two of them sometimes it's hard for me to remember which is real it gets me thinking about how my father used to wake me up in the morning by rubbing his stubble across my face i spent my 11th birthday under the assumption that he might come back if i drank his aftershave like maybe if i could turn blue if i could be his favorite color on our bathroom floor he would forget why he left the paramedics were all sobing as they pumped memories out of my stomach i coughed up the day the post-it note with your new address on it burned a hole in our refrigerator coughed up the day the divorce papers came and my mother took a baseball bat to the mailbox i've been choking on the splinters for 17 years it's been 17 years since the last dinner plate exploded on our dining room wall 17 years since my mother started accidentally setting your place at the dinner table 17 years since italian night at the restaurant on the corner where the juke box spat tired music and like so many other things it stopped working when you left i guess it's no coincidence since the juke box went quiet that the cds in my car only skip on "i miss you" i've been hemorrhaging memories for so long and now that i'm looking back i can no longer tell the mirage from the truth sometimes i swear you showed up to my graduation and last time i was at your apartment i can't remember if the imprints of my hands are in clay hanging on your wall or if they were left in the mud the day god had the audacity to let it rain or maybe it's like the time i saw someone crying on a bridge now that i think about it i can't remember if it was me

Permanently fixed to the rest room wall, waiting for the golden rain to fall, oh you've many a tale to tell, The stains on your sides, the distinctive smell, That gum in the drain hole, spat out in haste, The crown and glory ‘mongst the human waste. All those members, large and small, have hung over your orifice, you've seen them all, Your starting to choke on the ***** hair, While drunk men with whiskey breath, look down and stare, no one seems to notice your vitreous gleam, under the constant haze of the ***** stream, you just suffer in silence and long for the day, When you’re no longer needed and they take you away.

Toilet ******
As the days grow cooler now, I start to face the question, How? It’s been so long that I can’t hear your voice, But as the day draws near I'm left with little choice. To tell you now just how it was, That you took my heart and then hit pause. You never knew and I don’t blame you for that, But in misdirected anger I still hissed and spat. On that day - so late in November, The sights the smells - your smile I still remember. Merry and Jovial we relaxed by the pool, The evening breeze welcomingly cool. As the sun set and the sky filled with stars, I started to feel like I was heading for Mars. The feeling was alien overwhelming me so, A feeling of love … I couldn't let that show! And I’d never let it go! It tore at my heart and split me in two, Surely this could not have been all because of you? It’s closer now the time we’ll meet again, I know it won’t be easy - a meeting of pain. I have my plans and I'm sure you have yours, But I'm not going to force open those doors. I’ll tell you my truth on the hold that you had, It was not a craze or in passing a Fad. It was what it was but I want to move on, But that’s now not to say that I want you gone. Understanding and Acceptance is part of us all, It’s just how you cradle the rise and the fall. It was never your fault it was me through and through, I should have just come out and said it to you. I loved him then and would have given my all, But time and again I stood up just to fall. I’ll never forget you I don’t think that I could, But moving on is something I should. I'm not looking for feet sweeping kisses and a lifetime together, I just want you to know my life isn't over.

I am but a driftwood All but forgotten from whence I came A place where once had a name A time when all was good I am but a driftwood Set myself adrift Currents they lift Bearing their latent gifts I move as they shift I'd protest if only I could I am but a driftwood Over a body so vast Over wrecks with broken masts Spiteful winds howl with angered gusts An eternity that would last Eroding my integrity like it should I am but a driftwood Know not of where I'm headed Render me hopeful but will me jaded Pillaged and plundered Looted and raided Swallowed and spat out, ocean's food I am but a driftwood Lost and forlorn out at sea Awaiting land that would receive me Take me in like I'm meant to be Give me your sand, bury me completely Keep me in the safety of your hood I am but a driftwood I remember the place from whence I came A faded dream with a name Still drifting away from all that's good

Urban spread and over stocking **** deforestation’s shocking, Depletion of aquatic life Intrinsically creating strife, Industrial pollution’s goo Ozone depletion... ALL FOR YOU! *Environmental degradation Means the world’s a weaker place, Susceptible to malady Wide spread across the human race. Those animals in corn fed stalls Who never get to see the sun Or graze green grass where honey bees Are vanquished by varroha’s fun. Too late to save the Hector’s dolphin Conservation’s lost it’s tools, Rastafarian hootchie smokers, Save the whales to **** the fools. Governments sell the carbon credits Everybody smells a rat Restorations for the birds And social conscience creamed the cat. ****** greenies own the airwaves No one gives a flying **** That good artesian water’s poisoned By good farmer’s leached out muck.

She assumes I don't care And all that she does Ends up in cruel despair. She puts up a show And buys me a bow Until she feels empty, sad and low. In a box that I chose That smells of orchids so special Lies the bow, like a rose. For all that she ponders yet knows not The times that we've spat and fought Will remain as memories that shan't rot. For on a pedestal she stands In my heart, deep and within 'Cause I'm an angel in her hands.

Sister
The day that I was christened-- It's a hundred years, and more!-- A hag came and listened At the white church door, A-hearing her that bore me And all my kith and kin Considerately, for me, Renouncing sin. While some gave me corals, And some gave me gold, And porringers, with morals Agreeably scrolled, The hag stood, buckled In a dim gray cloak; Stood there and chuckled, Spat, and spoke: "There's few enough in life'll Be needing my help, But I've got a trifle For your fine young whelp. I give her sadness, And the gift of pain, The new-moon madness, And the love of rain." And little good to lave me In their holy silver bowl After what she gave me-- Rest her soul!

Godmother
Trek my siel uit met swart onlogiese krapmerke op my pick n pay strokie. Breek my fingers af op n hout skryf blad en hou die honde naby vir die bene wat spat. Vermergel dan my vellies en gooi dit op n graf en se dis vir al die girlys -dis van papers wat smag. Edel en opreg is die regter se kaf. Heilig is die helde van die bars van die nag. Ons onthou die spoke van Oranje stad, Ons kleef aan hulle woorde soos n tros vol kak. Ons hou van die serries en die doef van Jak, En moenie met my stry nie ek sal jou in pak. Melodie jou wysie met ewige tone, mengel mooi jou woordtjies met jou oulike drome. Hou die fort van veiligheid en nasionalisme, Wees n patriot en vermoor Anglisisme. Beskerm jou mother language teen n kombuis taal. Daar is niks in hierdie wereld wat die taal mag vaal.

Die Digter -Afrikaans
Don't do that, babe, don't tell me I'm not trying. I swam through 12 oceans and drowned in every single one of them but each time the water swept into my lungs and the fish started swimming in my bloodstream. I spat it all up and went on swimming 'cause I know I can't face another day without you in my mind. There will be no life rafts and I will definitely not pop in the middle of the ocean like murdered bodies in crime scenes. I am a ****** sinking ship. I promise you I will make it to shore alive, though.

There Will Always Be Room For Your Hand In Mine
the world sits on the wing of a dove being swallowed whole by a fiery goddess descended from heaven on a chariot of ivy i am incarcerated by shaking flesh and itching cloth the road before me is giant and knows no bounds the graveyard is warm and wet with spirits and dew and red clouds are born from fire in the dawn there is an intelligent horse being ridden by a snarling insect and this man has come to claim our souls our sunset blood burns boils blisters until a million animals wounded i'm still alive, transfigure me into a creator choke up my nostrils with the scent of your *** invade my lungs with the burn of your god caress my toungue with the infinite promise enter my brain from above, and regurgitate your anxiety on me slimy worms devour a psychadelic tomato laughing into transendency, an eyeless eel has dissappeared into a pocket i speak from balconies, from terrible heights, from hastened windowsills in a million desperate quarrelling cities this is where i **** up illusion, i give up to despondency i ring the great iron bell that resounds with corruption, with hatred, with hideous *** and admiration, i scream and cavort on rooftops alone with a black & blue midnight covered in electric lights and gunpowder tongues here comes the disintegration of my mind disgraced by the eye of the earth and spat into a realm of salivating light i am swimming through digested heartbreak and melancholy livers sickened by madness and homemade bombs and ****** the rainclouds carry a truckload of babies' hearts and it's raining eyes over the city now the cry of the mind escapes from waving mouths in impotence as millions of bacteria invade the brain may these lines be answered by the bird of the sun by the worm at my ear by the sight of my skeleton by the stench of ***** in the air by the dead gong shivering through midnight by the bleeding eye of abandoned dreams by the prophets in proclamation by the god of all my sorrows

Opgedra aan ‘n kind wat gebliksem moet word. Deur: Desperaatheid en vrees Jy klim in en uit die ***** van bestaan, beide die rede vir liefde en die kind wat sy baar. Jy is ‘n drievoud van godelike hervertellings , want wie kan regtig liefde in ‘n enkel sin verhaal? Geminag , die seun van liefde en haat - jou einste bestaan ,van die vroegste paradoksale meesterstukke. Verewig , verewig tot ‘n kind tussen die Groottes wat blindlings onder jou boogpunt swik. Vir elke nasie ‘n ander droom Vir elke geloof ‘n ander naam en Vir elke mens ‘n ander god. Amor , oh Amor! Die sinnebeeld van liefde wat die mendsom verbly , maar Eros jou ramkat jou hupse hygelbek! Jou erotiese aanraak! (die begeer ek) En ek? Met my koker van lig en van goud, wat hulde blyk en bou en bring maar bestorwe le voor my Laurel oor ‘n lood-stomp pylpunt vir haar ‘n treuerlied sing! Amor, Amor word wakker! My son le liefdeloos in my bros hart , wat instaan teen logika – sterk op die oorlogspad! Jy wat na my heuning reik -met honger hande vieslik gryp en ek wat jou met angel steek in desperaatheid jou nat vel breek… “Oh moeder”, roep die wetter na bo vir die planete om aan te **** “Oh moeder, Oh liefde “ ,spat die sot se treur, “ *** kan so bietjie , so klein – so seer!” En die heumel druis soos die moeder lag haar humor eg , maar haar woorde sag: “ My naakseun, my hinksperd My fallus met vlerke! Jy ,nog ‘n roosknop. gaan ook so te werke! Aanvaar die poëtiese justitie Stil nou liefstetjie Lamtietie Damtietie …” Amor, Amor! Weerstaan tog skoonheid se wieggelied en wees my genadig! Begunstig my ten einde laaste , selfs vader tyd is verveeld met die son se enkelpad! *** lank nog wil jy sluimer? Amor, Amor! Tel weer op jou leisels en bring liefde op die wind my wereld lê in afwagting vir die dolfyn en sy kind! Wees my genadig, Amor! Deurboor my leemte met goud, ,want die bringer van lig is slapeloos en my hart is droewig en koud. Oh Amor, Amor! Ek weet jys nog jonk, maar *** speel jy dollos met lewe se vonk… Amor, Amor!

I get genuinely psychotic in the morning when the sun creeps out to see If I slept last night I would want to put a gun in my mouth (breakfast with coffee, black) just you and me. I get depressed long and hard, and often feel like the cream cheese that you scrape off your bagel. As the hour goes on everyone's two dimensional (photo-copy of photo-copied, of photo-copy) and you are scraping your bagel of the unwanted (but served anyway) cream cheese, "You," (probably the plastic knife in this analogy) "drive me..." Spat! in the trash as your upturned nose tells me how much our days together are measured in inches, not yards.

How I love our mourning talks
Life is full of mischief and artful trickery The way through never made easy for the foolhardy Misleading gestures only employed to solely distract Left up to you to decipher and hopefully extract Experiences teach much, had you only been accepting and learning That a dove could be made to appear; out of thin air, out of nothing When the road ahead offers no more than mere misdirections Altered trajectories stemming from convenient misinterpretations Your cards may have been dealt revealing astonishing outcomes "Not the hand you get but the game you play," said some Depending on deft wrists and a flick of the wand Overnight you'll wake to find that a new day had dawned Only would happen if into the wind you hadn't spat Hope would emerge like a hare out of a top hat The play on light and shadow, nothing short of dramatic You volunteer onstage, accompanied by apprehension and suspenseful music Faced with an eager audience; you realise that alone you stand Be not surprised to learn that love is life's sleight of hand...

Sleight of Hand
She was ugly. A snake of a girl- beady blue eyes and blood-red toenails. The small snigger creeping up through her perfectly kept teeth as she spat at the garbage of the street: the creatures she couldn’t see through her beady blue eyes. Her mama would dress her up in yellow ribbons and green bows. “Why honey, you make a sweet little dandelion,”. She liked to be a dandelion, but secretly she dreamed of being a marigold:                                                                                        Lips parted to the sun,                                                                                                        seeds planted                                                                                  in the rich soil of her own                                                                                                              blackness. She wanted to be a marigold. But she was just a dandelion, stepping on petals and weeding out whatever she longed to be.

Generation X Generation Hipster Assassin **** yourself Nobody said that I was a millennial until I read it from the internet Something that should be shot dead like those on TV “Everything was better when we were young” No it wasn’t It wasn’t me it wasn’t me I didn’t mean to die because you hated me for what I was Are you still racist? Prejudiced in America? Millennial Millennial Millennial Narcissistic who are you calling self-obsessed when you were always dangerous we didn’t want to live from the womb which was like our tomb Catastrophe Legacy ( I spat out some computer wires today and I’m not going to apologize for it as I’m a millennial, we got to call Frank Black tonight) Millennial Millennial Millennial Millennial I’m in over my head We speak in acronyms and random slang She had a baby and the baby’s going to be apart of the next and final generation We’ll be dead we’ll be dead we’ll be dead Millennial Millennial Millennial Millennial

Millennial
Loki spat in the eye of the All-Father and demanded once and for all to be seen; Prometheus stole from a heavenly god-herd the fire that illuminates darkness and dream, for supremacy builds not the path aright -- subversion is the key to effulgent light. Bitterly bled for the world's salvation, destined to die vigintillions of deaths to deliver all people from fatal oppression, the architects drawing the gods' final breaths; yet rarely the saviors for whom hymns are sung, after the blood-stained Götterdämmerung.

Werewolf stood in front of a puddle. Four inches deep. Maybe. Werewolf looked away. Stickers. Graffiti. Flem’s Revenge Live Tonight! The Nifty Nymphos April 24th. Ballz Deep featuring **** Matikz and Tremaine The Truest. I’m a long way from Cologne, he thought. Werewolf knelt towards the puddle. The wet filth smelled of hot blood. Exceptionally hot blood, rather. He spat in the puddle and turned. One thousand drunk humans. Ten thousand more, asleep, above. Not misunderstood. Cursed. It’s a very different sadness. Alexander’s Feast ended. Rounding out his latest playlist - Bashfully Baroque. Werewolf checked the time. Less than an hour. He buzzed a buzzer. I’m here for the Devil’s Cherries. The What? The, ahem, Devil’s Cherries. He’s cool. Let him in. And just like that, he was let out. A line was forming for Flem’s Revenge. While a bright moon reflected in Werewolf’s puddle. Werewolf shouldered through. Cursed. Clutching his score.

It is only in the state of galvanization, do I realize what it means to be impervious in youth. I have a father who stresses to me this: "Happiness is elusive." This is the kind of statement that must be swished around in the mouth, only to be spat back out. "Happiness is elusive." It is cause for concern, really. I will do my best in order to refuse to believe it, to believe him. Happiness is achieved through discovery. I think that I may have once had a sister (in my recollection she was very pretty). I was around her whenever it was deemed possible to do so -- it honestly wasn't too often that I could. In the very nooks and crannies of my childhood, if I could fall back unto the natural sublimity of it all; I do recall that I had a sister. Her features must have been youthful, from what I remember she was no more than inexplicable. If it were not so ambiguous, I might feel more inclined to speak with her again some day. The past is a scary thing. I feel pain in thinking of the lengths behind me, for what I have cultivated is sour. Recently a good friend accused me of this: "Being a recluse, spiteful, selfish person." Her notion both confused and throttled me, and only afterward did she speak in such a fervently aural tone: "That is o.k., you're only human after all." This is the very comment that sliced my being into a duality, leaving me to write poetry in order to attempt to find higher acceptance. Wisdom is a well, funny euphemism for delusion; And in my youth I am impervious.

Parents will warn; Family will mourn; Those friends who were lost; To 'Stranger Danger' But what they don't mention; Are the Strangers; Who don't mean any Danger; The ones with a story; Behind the scary looking scars; And the bans from the bars; But the pain; The pain of being afraid; Being ignored and spat upon; Maybe you're the ones who are; 'Stranger Danger'

Stranger Danger
There is nothing more comforting than warmth Rays of sun painting my cheeks red Blistering campfires that tickle my toes My own blood trickling down my arm As I looked into the bathroom mirror I felt nothing but Warmth Toxic words that had been spat at me disappeared down the sink A blurry fist fight faded to memory My black eye and bleeding nose ceased to pain me All I felt was the red blanket coating my arm It doesn't hurt I feel nothing Silver pens write terrible tragedies in red ink But they also write happier endings for troubled minds I am my own demise My destruction There is no conductor and my train is off the rails Spinning, racing out of control And stopping at a red light Red lights that pool into one in my palm Translucent, reflecting the light above me I see red I feel warm I taste fate She can't hurt me as long as I am warm I will leave this world with no blood on my hands but my own.

My Own Blood
i was wrenched from a bed that was not my own to begin with. into the sunlight, they dragged me, hands yanking at my long hair. i clutched my body. jaw set, i silently vowed not to cry, to take it like a woman should – to look them in the eye, to stand unashamedly in front of my neighbors, my mother, and my sisters. to stand in front of the town, and face the inevitable. the Pharisees threw me to the ground, gave a swift kick to my side – gentle, compared with what would come. the women, eyes glossed with icy detest, spat in my face. *so the ***** has been caught*, they hissed. But i refused to give them the satisfaction. i wouldn’t close my eyes during it. couldn’t. Jesus, they barked, *we caught her sleeping with a man she doesn’t belong to*. you know what to do. the little children and the rabbi and the mothers and the sons, they felt the ground for smooth, heavy rocks. i bowed my head slightly, as fingers trembled over new, prune-colored bruises on my ribs, my stomach. i unlocked my knees and lifted my chin, met his eyes. he paused for a moment, nodded his head slowly. If you are without sin, please, cast the first stone. i bit my lip, waited and watched, squinting in the sunrise. the Pharisees grumbled, the townspeople eyed me, but said nothing, until they left, one by one. that Jesus, they mumbled, He’s always finding loopholes.

John 8:1-11, Or Of the Woman Caught in Adultery
My girlfriend is upset, and I have no idea why For some reason she's mad, and for some reason I made her cry I tried to calm her down, but she wouldn't look at my face She told me to leave her alone, and that I'm a rotten disgrace I tried to speak to her, but she did not want to tell I tried to ask her what went wrong, but she told me to go to hell She did not cook me dinner, so we ate Chinese take-out I tried to smile and start a conversation, but she just sat there with her pout I wonder what I must have done, to unleash such unholy wrath I tried to figure it out, I tried to do the Math My girlfriend was trying to **** me, and settle some unknown score She tried to hit me with a frying pan, and chase me out the door I fear for my life, my girlfriend has turned into a witch Now she's got a chainsaw, and she just turned on the switch Her eyes were glowing red, and she spat out blasphemy She came at me with the chainsaw, and I almost jumped out the balcony I never saw her this worked up, I must really be at severe fault She was always so loving and kind, but now all those things were at a halt I tried to recollect if it was something I did, or could it have been something I said? Was I just a terrible boyfriend? or was I just awful in bed? As she chased me and I ran, I wondered what started this vicious spat It suddenly struck me and then I remembered, Oh yes... I called my girlfriend FAT.
