counting uncountable grievances
in the silence of darkness
entertaining intrusive thoughts
with mays, mights, & maybes
cutting away the #kiss of sunlight
who steals a pound of flesh
waiting, suffering the coming #wither

a pond is born of #raindrops

beauty swells in the tragedy
of a #glowing moon

my laugh is a carol
a festive cairn to stain
the cleanest scape
I say
let’s make a feast of choirs
leave this meagre crumb
but he prefers
the #heliacal drone
of all his forms
the bright
& the bore

to all she knew
as ashes crawl
in the groove of strings
that resonant sense
of ghosts that cling
to the movement
of her voice
just

where my heart should be
its atavistic grame
pooling in ink blots & words
i #sublimate the urge poorly,
limning in broken thoughts & skin
as masked desires #clash
with a hope for better days
and the lunacy of a sickle moon

split lips obviate condolences

sorrow adheres an armour of #rage

eyes up
faith in a stride
tang of sun-warmed
iron-rich earth
huffed across my tongue
to be sick at
alum lilies
vomit up this energy
howl a dirge &
be done
to cut at birth
needled teeth
loveworn
to forgive and never forget

broken since a cursëd birth
a scar-covered scar blighting the earth
my eyes burn w/ #ineffable disgust
as i float outside in blessëd dissociation
watching from an #extrusion of self
i pick at the wretched scab
hoping to rip it clean before reintegration

her face painted delirium
#wrapped in a room so white
this must be heaven, she thinks
where hunger isn't devouring me
& the sky has yet to fall
wait until mommy & daddy see
—where have they gone
declarations that life is good
is a razor of #absurdity
