something to write about as home

I'd been drug sniffed addled & otherwise by agents in deep blues demanding points of origin questioning allegiance mis- or re- placed hope to heart to god like father thought or hand to fist to mouth like mother taught as if no one had colored those pale shades of in between so I shook as all good books taught me stretched taught toward a sinuous trail of spread skin a constant a(c)cord a consistent connection to the shape you've made me I tried to trace this journey as a map but found you'd folded us into song

waiting on 50

let me perform delicate surgery sing songs of chain- saw love along your supple summer spine place the pieces of your struggling jigsaw map which match with mine... is it safe to say that I've talked you to bed for several weeks? would it be wise for me to sew your proper name into my sheets? or play your memory like a melody arranged in bits between heart- beats? well my heart's refrain repeats 'til my mouth stutters what it speaks and though the syllables get jumbled sentiments emerge complete has anyone else ever told you you're the good kind of cannot sleep?

hibernation love song

wanna bury your stillbeating heart in the yard kneel down and press my face to grass grown cool with shades of green you're the wild life like light now strange and scattering the sound of trains whispering distant every evening bathed in dusk and I'm just dust too much touch to the back of your throat sunken sunk in skin and tastes of settling sometimes I imagine you're how I'd want the snow to be falling free like birds who change back into bears

shatterglass.

Last summer we watched the moon swallow the sun and you told me violence was romantic. It was 12 in the afternoon but the sky was midnight blue, and as you spoke your hand clenched into claws around my waist. I reached down to hold your wrist but you dropped your hand to your side before I could touch you. . I used to think it was impossible to love someone and never really know them, but you took all those illusions when you took my hand. Sometimes we sat opposite each other in starbucks and you faded away, just staring into the sky, your soul stolen to some distant place. Even when you were next to me I could feel the space between us lik

tuesday afternoons

and the wind chills my bones and every time i look at my watch i remember all the times when we sat on the grass laughing, watching the afternoon sun arcing across the sky like a shooting star.

Literature

You and I,

we're a stunted little paragraph blowing in the wind, full of maybes and we could have beens. We're winter nights dancing through the sky, dreaming of warmth and summer, burntskin sunscreen. We're fruits hanging from a tree, ripe with promise and fearing bitter seeds. We're dripping photographs in darkrooms waiting to become something beautiful. You and I, we're not fancy like fireworks. Sparks are the little lights that dance between us when we smile. Sparks are private things and they shine more prettily when no one else can see them except you and me. So when I write poetry about us, it won't be about mountains and kisses and

Shhhudder Stttep

you don't have to tell me how my bloody words slither across your hard rock tongue and into your heavy metal pipes. i can see your struggle in those jaded eyes; you're trying too hard to keep my soul from sinking in and melting into your soft tissues. ah, "sigh," watching you clutch your flooding throat reminds me of how i swallowed. now i've gotta tell you, i wish i could say that your salty-sour compost-ready "love" caught me off guard,

Undelivered

or: how to write to peter i. sprinkle pixie dust on one feather of a whisper ii. blow a kiss to nudge the dictations of your heart from a fourth-story windowsill iii. crawl (sloth-toed) onto the roof & stretch your third eye to watch your letter cross state lines iv. shiver restlessly until v. suddenly! vi. you feel your feather of a whisper nestle in his concave mailbox: the space where his left collarbone meets his neck strings "if i were you i would want me back"

Literature

Unsent

Dear Peter, The space between us is a living creature, saber-toothed & homely, a hangman's grip in its ill-shapen eyes- nightmarish, sure, yet, defeated by my one-track-minded shrug. Journeys with missions are waltzes on two feet; I keep in step, nocturnal eyes pealed and snow-glazed. Dozens of night-light headlights gleam like the heaven I'll never see. The space between us is a living creature, machete-clawed & restless. yellow lines weren't meant for feet like I wasn't meant for you but let nature pity the beast who tries to stop me walking down the middle of every street between y o u a n d m e Love, London

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

Closer

too close to see, you are too close to me, an eclipsing gaze, all arms across us, i wouldn't leave, if i could go but you know this - you knew of love once you want to know again, you try to kiss me, as if drawing love out, and breathing love in, die again and again, you'd rather, than death you've almost known, too close for comfort

Literature

Not For Me, For You

not for me to feel - nothing as far as i can see, nothing close to me, my heart is deeper under, the black wells of forget, tears are the only stars i see, why do stars burn to live dreams are mute walls; sky is lost to a vapor moon - i drift, not forever is a veil i will wear to cover me from the absence of myself; i will hide behind the anonymity of trees, for you to feel left behind

She Dances With Fire

She dances with fire, a dragon in tow. Twirling with flames; graceful and slow She dances tonight, in a city of ash. Her feet leaving footprints, where the sand will splash. Quietly mourning, as time goes by; Where once she beheld a home in her eyes... Yet naught but the barest of bones remain, And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

and not strive to know
the heart of it
