learning to suck less
a poem that reads as follows: i have to forget what poetry is. learn to break the rules rules ive made for myself only i have to bash my brains against the wall until all this education leaks out like an overflowing septic tank and im left with something real glinting among scrambled grey matter blood and bone fragments with untamed words carved into them to read as ancient poetic divinations the same poem continued: i have to destroy the me on paper. the irony of centering someone i hate so much but maybe theyre just excusing themselves. if they think so much about someone what could it be but love. a toxic love of attachment so familiar where they can't let go until their mind drowns in need but even then there is no end until they learn to grasp and breathe in the world i have to become again

i barely even remember writing this one. it feels like i wrote it in another life, but it was only a few years ago. im quite fond of it, though
a short poem that reads as follows: it's a wonder we've made it this far just Wandering at night with tall oaks, Cutting slices of the moon That paints the fallen leaves Yet leaves my feet in the dark

sitting alone in the national gallery of canada
a poem that reads as follows: in an empty wing of an art gallery - i came here alone while everyone was out doing some such this or that. quiet as a chapel save for a distant din of the one they have rebuilt here, a motley of faces and feelings - reconstructions of what was or may have been. i wonder if they feel lonely, when no one is around to appreciate their gentle brush strokes their vibrant colors, no one is around to sympathize with the pain etched upon their faces i would.
