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 […]
Crosswinds
I tried to land here safely But I am sliding across this mirror of light Waiting for my contrails to fade so you can’t see where I’ve been Faces and names pass across through my mind and cracked screens But I won’t fly an empty leg for you
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.
Traces
I live with my past on the surface We turn inside out and outside in again It’s not a thing I haven’t seen before I came, I heard and saw you More bare than this old scratching pole Sitting in the corner silent With that blue glow to your face I still don’t know If […]
Future Diaries: She, Robot
I used to be creative. I used to make music, construct images, to write, to draw. I used to have a thirst to learn. Now I am petty and self absorbed, I have turned out just like my father. I am a one dimensional character paralyzed by self awareness, full of self loathing. But I […]
Jumpsuit
Locked so many eyes Turned away that many signs Exorcised most feelings And simmered down the tides too high Returning greetings from white knuckled fists Buckled daily, but did not return Faced straight to what the crooked say To reach a resolution, one is patient Must wait through, ’til crack of day I’ve locked so […]
Wearing Hides
Down at the fork in the road you are damned Internalize or break law in symmetry, Follow fate safe along these parallel scars, of past in present Inflammation lingers longer, it will linger tightly, a reminding message It’s predictable on you Be the better man, girl Retribution, it bears broken teeth Your mother told you […]
The Mountain
Floods the river, caves the mountain Dragging out these fantasies of disappointment Follow me out by border’s way Passive, marching by my side Cracking strata clears a stage for two Guilt is green, as I am clear You’re colour blind and I can’t hear Ignorance is bliss War is familial Hands will tear At those, […]
