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

born of violences
blues in asphyxia
choking on words
poisoned w/ #purple
haunted memories
reds of lead
& pooling apologies
eyes blinded
by #rays of black
under pains of torture
& existence
scars are records
& confessions
life often #defeated
but not yet dead

& cut to the end
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
gives your life away

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

plastered on a scowl
split lips obviate condolences
with a pan am, #saucer smile
sorrow adheres an armour of #rage
to a broken being
like scales #cling to butterfly wings
a warning of shimmering toxicity
camouflage from the curious

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

now you're up to your neck
in a filthy #synthesis of love & hate
staying afloat with #mushrooms

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

& an iv accessory
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

one sans #charm & smile
he grows in the deep dark
a harmless mushroom
horizon dapples his lips
in flecks of spit & fits
unmoved by dreams
of perfect loves & lives
there's nowt poetical
as his brain #unravels
hanged by his synapses
his feet finally off the ground

A many-petaled one
I must protect her
So that the one i love can breathe deeply
And be comforted

for an innocence befitting
and pled with baleful blue eyes
for the childhood now lost
she bled dry her abductor
while he slept near his blessing
then fled, spilling no mercy
with her new dark #passenger host
