UntuitionHard to follow
A birthday
I raised you with my own saliva, words and wine Tried to imagine myself resenting you But in my mind’s eye there’s no light Your eyes are bright and your hair is ashen Like the chestnut haze of cigarettes You wrap these long arms around my body Like you knew that none were left Of […]
The mushroom prince
I’m a zebra sans her stripes A fox clad like a dog It’s a nightmare that’s recurring Sniffing death in the air Where my shovel’s buried in the ground A pair of human legs That morph past midnight A creature that runs Before it stands But what do you stand for? The rains have poured […]
Inside
I’m an antibody Destroy in haste Too much heat And too much waste I’m the saint, the sinner More leper than lover The fool I’ll crown This ill fever I’ll govern Sweating in my delirium As I think how many I’ve taken down With me, in sweaty synchrony Heavy is the head Full of cotton […]
Schoolbreak
This blood on my back It ain’t mine The bunny on my jumper, she has seen it all With her plastic button eyes I can feel your vision Vitreous as it begins to fade Do you see me now, do you see me now? Little boy, last day of school He cries grey, grip loose […]
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 […]
The saint of knights
Pathetic, annihilated Smiling, hollowed, man. Woman, The less you say, the more you mean Speak through your demon in his mind He’ll fear and flinch One look will make him frightened And he’ll make you like it
Splits
I fracture and fracture and fracture and fracture A slightly different face for you and you A crystal shaped experiment, born of mitosis Generation through destruction, diamond cut Playing telephone with me in my current state Reflecting you and you back Only the scientific method can break down this smut You’re inside me, with my […]
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
