សួស្តី​សម្លាញ់
העלא מיין פרייַנד
اهلا صديقي
ওহে, বন্ধু আমার
ສະ​ບາຍ​ດີ​ຫມູ່​ຂອງ​ຂ້ອຍ
zdravo prijatelju
Salam dostum
नमस्ते मेरे दोस्त
Hola mi amigo
გამარჯობა მეგობარო
สวัสดีเพื่อนของฉัน

Growth of vines نمو الكروم
Eyes of rye عيون الجاودار
hypnotized منوم

Solid yet fluid الصلبة حتى السوائل
Aware and alive إدراكا حيا
Breathing تنفس
Now now now الان الان الان
The everlasting الأبدية
Now الآن

Flowers in bands on your wrist الزهور في العصابات على معصمك
eyes in curls عيون في تجعيد الشعر
like the smoke مثل الدخان
of myrrh من المر

My friend, my comrade, come with me
صديقي، رفيقي، تأتي معي
sadiqi, rafiqi, tati m

To the seas of green, the land of coconuts
إلى البحار الخضراء، أرض جوز الهند
'iilaa albahhar alkhudara'i, 'ard jawz alhind

grab your arms, proclaim your freedom
انتزاع ذراعيك، وتعلن حريتك
aintizae dharaeik, watuelin huriyatak

Sawdust rains from your wrists
نشارة الخشب المطري من المعصمين
nshart alkhashab almitarii min almuesimin

                                            عليا
صديقي، رفيقي، تأتي معي
إلى البحار الخضراء، أرض جوز الهند
انتزاع ذراعيك، وتعلن حريتك
نشارة الخشب المطري من المعصمين

Moon spilling through a cloud, east
Eyes locked in incense spirals
A lovelock of moonstones
Ideath worn proudly
ideath worn quietly
Someone on the other end
breathing and her
Something between
like a rod of tired wind
Silent wind

The type of wind that blows down
egos and
dreams
and all ambition
ideath and trout
and i and the letter


And somewhere behind it all
An inspired lover
drawing his lovers portrait
for the first time
in flowers
only
flowers

Things got a little better after you left
not right away of course
but scars heal
bones fuse stronger
etcetcetc

I'm happier alone I suppose
don't get me wrong
I love the feel of another body
sharing circulation momentarily
respiration exhaled like black moths

Dark side of people on display
cheap pieces of glass to
sell their soul too
the genie doesn't go back in that jar

Sourpatch sugar rush, coffee mainline
eyes like saucers
110 screaming in the rain
who cares anymore
really

**** your sensitivity
people eat eachother
literally *******
how much for one game
of Russian roulette
I already priced my life out
to the government
400,000 and a square of
dirt

Flick that zippo open
light up another camel filter 99
down that gas station coffee
same song over and over
and over and over and overoverover

๓໐໐ຖຟคtēr in your pores
l໐งēŞt໐ຖēŞ in your little garden
ѕραяяσωѕ fly with crows
šЋαđŏώš require sunlight

S E A R C H

a document to time, present, past, future

Twisted locks in dryer socks
Kiwi sprouting with the Tamarind....o
Gold on your wrist
like the **** they disassemble in India
Eating rice off of cut up plastic
coke bottles
Put the flame to them to sit flat


Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Drug : induced visions
time distortions
meet your ******* side
he's on your shoulder
whispering in ***
tattooing your soul onto
the back of a dollar bill

sanded flat
polished

inhale
exhale

it'll all be over soon

Pulling stiff new clothes out of a plastic shopping bag
   to wear to the funeral tomorrow
    why didn't you
     call before you
     left?

Where to put it all?

Another one, how is it possible
   just dog tags on a hill
     bottles of whiskey
        comrades
          left

Thyme & black pepper tea

  Xanax to **** the shakes
   coffee spilled on the *******
     floorboards
      again
