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 […]
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 […]
Dark Forest
As she swings me dear Towards a dark forest Bad fumes, choreographed moves I see her grin and turn again The picture is so clear In the forest of her mind In the dead internet The animals are quiet Now a dark forest, black forest Twas cherry-red and evergreen The most bitter girl that I […]
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 […]
Occult
With each little thread I pull It hurts to pull that string When you close your eyes sometimes It makes me wonder About you, you fragile thing To roll around, pull you apart Like a silly ball of yarn Can I push, can I crush Or douse with flame or water You let no light […]
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 […]
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 It was so fast, a short-lived moment Swells of strings in basic essence In the blink of an […]
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.
760
I will let you climb inside of me So you can live this night alone Who are you, so sanctified? Good enough? For sacrifice? I’ll still be warm for quite some time But I am no supplicant for you I am a patient Not sentimental since my last loss But we see death then we […]
Indifferent
You started out, looking just like me And when we split off at the fork in that other mother It had somehow turned into another world Just another path, a routine substitution Extrusion is a superficial game Bone, bile, skin and muscle And nothing more As at the end We end the same When at […]
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 […]
In the Middle
There’s someone standing guard In the center tower Watch your hands, don’t point your fingers Your neighbor’s behaving better It’s a competition In dark pipes underwater, you are connected together Throw another stone at their glass ceiling No fist can bring back creditation Each punch more power for evil’s impregnation They are chosen, you are […]
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 […]
