Life is unraveling
In moments
Stoplights
Quick bites
Walls seen a thousand times before
An overdose
Harsh word
Heart flutter
Keystrokes
Ordinary
Taste our bitter loneliness
Our fucked up complacency
A soul rotting necrobiome

A sign of the century
We bow to the earth
Kiss our loved ones through the roots
A tear that grows the branches
Dust to dust
Tantalus rests on the bank
Leans over the water
Crushed petals staining the palms of his hands as they fall
A slow regretful descent
He never loved anything so beautiful
As gold
A lofty tower
Of broken backs
Toe each one
Before you reach the summit
There was never anything so ugly
As ill-begotten wealth
I write for you
Savage
Tearing with teeth
Because I know
You are bleeding like me
Someone is looking up
At the void of stars
Trying to suck the little low-lying light
Into what’s left of a soul
Can I be the voice echoing back?
Me
Too
It was a slow slope
A midnight breath
Under your dark wing
Blowing smoke rings
With the windows down
And darkness rushing by
We swore we felt alive
Jostling our bones together
Against the cold leather and despair
If I cried anymore I wouldn’t have seen
Your star fall
Bright and princely
You breathed in my ear
Something about death waiting for all of us
Love waiting for no one
As your lips trailed fire down my skin
Who was I to argue?
Every curve of my body was dedicated to being stripped
To a hedonistic altar draped in black
It does not disappoint
Tastes of poison, morphine and wide awakeness
Have the insides of my thighs
Drink the liquid desire
A cocktail of pheromones
Far from the dry wake of Persephone’s flower
Mine is yours, rising eager to be kissed
A slow descent between my legs
Hard and masterful
Ave
Round we go
Slow sterilized circulars
Spiraling closer to fetid oblivion
Cold and sparse
Let me waltz with you
Step by step
To the filth repostories
And corners of privacy
Your wheels are small quick contraptions
Your beeping settles into my dreams
Love
Or hate
From the second my brimstone chafed skin
Unfurled and fetal
Bore into the macrocosm
You kept me close
Grinding down on my stinted wings
Dark they were
Thought to break my fangs
With a hard hand
But now I’ve latched my fangs
Into the moon
With a deep howl
Tasting sweet freedom
Reveling in the devil in me
A stroke of the pen
Over virgin paper
It sighs and wriths
Lifts blank hips to receive pigment and life
I search between the delicate leaves
Find the core of a beautiful sheath
Begging me over and over to defile
With scrawling words
Until the paper is exhausted
Spent
Satisfied
It’d be a shame to stir it now
Excise words
And cruelly form and shape
So instead I sit back
Admire the curves and lines
There is always time later for editing
Darkness, I reaped you
Sowed with tears
The saints above
Rending cloth and sky
My heart shuddered
In its desolation
This unholy manifestation
I was afraid and alone
The tears of the saints
Rained down like acid
Burning my upturned face
Loneliness, I reaped you
Sowed with hope
The saints above
Laughed through tears
My heart quivered and shriveled
Like a dying flower in the flame
Ashes floating skyward
I was disenchanted and changed
The tears of the saints
Rained down like acid
Burning my turned back
Freedom, I reaped you
Sowed with vulnerable innocence
The saints above
Pulled the sun back into oblivion
My heart cried out
For relief
For love
Beautiful manipulator
Sly and smiling
You visit me again in flashes
How I crave your fingers
Taking me apart
Parting me until my soul is open wide
My intimacy made for your destruction
We love like planets in a death orbit
Kissing as we explode
The brightness of our desolation
Makes them wonder
They can’t fathom
How darkness could taste so sweet
