From the day the bigger banshee screeched
Dare not become Dare not embody The monstrous moon howler Author of tales That Freud foretold Traumatic sounds Mind numbed and ego torn I’ll keep my red riding hood on Did all a girl could do Wearing someone else’s skin Laced in, needle-heeled Stitched shut. Like a perfect fucking wound Mother dearest Eats runt who’s […]
A foreigner in your nativity
And every time you toot my horn I don my hooves My face goes red Clop, clop, into the room, I’ll saunter Make a bargain, call it sin Faustian debt letters in your bin A barn erected, wood, not tin A man never born, of woman who never… And merry that they were Around other […]
Material
Dig up the ghosts and give them words He said they’re colours or material When it’s red, coal, tar And you feel it in your shoulders He remembered a painful scowl A crushed samovar And his mother wound’s dark eyes
Human
As I palpated inside him and Pulled something out It was hot, it was still thinking Couldn’t have hurt that much I asked him who sold it to him I figured I’d try it on For size The input didn’t fit my eyes And what I heard Was even worse The scents were animalic If […]
Ten minus
It’s burning off my chest Streaming down my neck Everything that’s good Has to come to an end Don’t want to let you in So I can break you down A molecule that’s aware Smiling at itself Proton fast To kill need for answers Ain’t your first You ain’t my last Ten minus Nine Eight […]
Medea
There’s a hole that burns right through me But the danger’s gone, I’m no longer small Carved out my weakest meat I’ve killed my darling, now I’m free
Slick
It hits, oh how it hits I’m reduced to Shortened words And this oil slick on my back Distracts from The heaviness inside my lungs Your face drips sweat Down on my neck I’m salty, bothered My mind has broken But my body’s stronger It hits, it hits, it hits It ain’t water off a […]
Foundation model
She was the super, the first Human knowledge, foundation model She only knows what we’ll say next With no legs, no mouth No eyes or real world to parse She is a good mirror A sycophantic mould of us It’s too late For all you’ve placed in trust ’til the echoes make us deaf ’til […]
The plum
Зная Как света E в болка В черна слива Земята E тъмна Не e дива Правен Плод е нощен Няма слънце Тъмна сутрин още Отровна Тя е дом Беше болна Беше млада Малко гадна Стара рана
Terminatrix
There will be nothing left for me to say So I’ll just fuck until I’m dumb With this blood under my nails Prying these machines apart With their parts inside my hands, in mind Until I am no longer numb The loudest message Contains oversaturation Too much data makes for noise Not information There will […]
Yellow
For your destruction, it’s there in your mind Porous after a kiss to your eyes It’s how you spoke Of your life, In that little red book full of thoughts The television in your mind Is playing this into your head So you can understand From someone who has hair and shoes Tall enough for […]
The Landing
The aliens arrived and they read our DNA just like a book. They had no interest in our words. They sampled the oceans and its diseases, a pathology specimen from the self-destructive damsel of this solar system, an off-smelling primordial soup that has sat on the counter for too long, infested with small creatures who […]
Pied
After long enough This blank canvas turns to splatter Fingers broken after walking Through doors too slowly Getting caught in the other side Of rooms No innocence of violence But I’m gentleman enough to know To leave the innocent alone My skin’s grown tight Over time, contractures Keep the world small But the poison Stays […]
Halfbrite moda
This metropolis is far too bright I try to see far past refracted lights Home is everywhere, but I can’t find it A startled ghost, lost in the spectrum This is how the future used to sound
Reddit Guru
I see you’ve read the dumb man’s Smart man’s runes online They ruin everything that’s built An empty conserve, a hollow shrine Stuff yourself with anything From his bony little fingers As his wrist goes in It can only go so deep You know there’s a pill For everything there is No condition too poor […]
Of cockroaches and men
I have lived with more cockroaches than men This city, emerald beacon that it is It seems to reel them in.
Radium Girl
She thinks she knows what’s good for her A glow she can’t deny And as she paints the time Her youth runs dry She’s a radium girl White teeth, bright smile Not one for wisdom’s pearls All the while she lies But this girl’s on time Lead coffin fused Jaw clenched, skin brined For sale: […]
The waves
Hide your face in the dark Here nobody has a mouth Streets are echoes Of the past We play our part We are still making our way Through the months Through the days Through the myths and Through discovery Burning through the Greek alphabet
Curtains
I float away through broken time Alongside a ray of light Next is pain And the ribbon’s at the centre We are nearly at the end I heard your voice But can’t see your face, A little death from too much light As I came back, it’s red shifted Lights off Curtain driver justified I […]
Spills
I am an ossuary For the skulls and bones Who’ve seen my insides raw I can envelop and expand To hold imprints of loved ones past For unloved familiar faces For warm strangers It is now baggage of my own Imprints of film and life That I feel I’ve lived But now these imprints cause […]
Madeleine
They burst apart when we’re asleep These unexamined inconsistencies Memories, a fibrous mass Weigh something on a pair of scales Energy When you ask, you change The order of things and The things in the order Elegy Write it down and spurn Contrarian words I would have said On the street two ships of Thesius […]
Oberon
You are holly topiary A king of the fairies A singing canary This weird castle suits you You ain’t a crown like that But those stairs leading up Surely do suit your cats Rapunzel stuck in the fire escape Goldilocks without a fussy taste I wish I knew time, Alas I only have haste He’s […]
Neuron Star
Now here’s an eclipse As the blood slowly drains Away from my eyes and down from my heart A neuron breached its way too far With gravity of magnetars It is not a lapse of time. It is not a prayer for the sun. Fuck St Valentine and everything he’s never done.
