those faces, clenched tight into a fist.
choruses of blue veins stem alive
from the chest.
pause—laws stop
the swing of his heels.
lies, lies, lies,
his hands aren’t tied.
his claws attack,
his claws come back,
to steal the pain.
this is the game of
wronged chemistry
taking a turn—...

above tacky heads.
no matter the color,
the thoughtfully fierce sky
creates clarity.
confusion may capture my mind,
but a vast trace of clouds
offers enough
to keep me dreaming.

unlike most
we build down
we strip away the blocks
separate the interior from the exterior
leaving a skeleton to stand alone on the pavement
wondering when a crooked heartbeat will care to take a breath inside its shell
when a forgotten beast will dwell inside it once again in its limited fo...
Scared little Lida Lord was clutchin onto this blank and battered book in the basement while we
were hidin'from the far away sounds of guns firin'durin'one of those attacks. She was so
scared; she didn't notice me slip it out of her hands. I have always wanted to have a diary.
Everybody in this b...
…It was as frightening as a many-legged creature
Slowly crossing her glossy web
And suddenly skittering across the dusty air
To push her teeth into the flesh
And unkempt fur coat of the struggling fly
That I like to think of as you.
As you closed your eyes
And felt the fangs of time sink i...
I may or may not be the same person
I was or was not
Three hundred and sixty five days ago.
Or I could or could not be a different woman
I want or don't want to be.
But look at me,
Tired and undecided,
Because this life is so big
But so limited,
Its hard to bear.
And it sometimes see...
The smallest things in people tell some of the biggest characteristics without you even laying your eyes on them.
I walked through the neighborhood solemnly, watching the white picket fences flash by, the close-minded un-individuality antagonizing the pupils of my eyes. They were scared, frightened...
I flew through the dark park,
the cloudy puddles splashing up my thighs.
I knew it would be soon before long
when he would find me
and I would find him.
The glares that would rupture between us
would never subside
for I knew what we had done
would never be forgiven
and we'd stand there,
aw...
I hand him an anthem that chanted
rock and roll.
Its booming sound
whispering in his ears
“We All Look Elsewhere.”
He quietly listened,
dissecting the tune.
Letting it seep into him,
his face at peace.
He let his soul sweat
from the fire in his heart.
His fingers danced along ...
The great wall that towers into me,
Stands still and waits to see
If I will climb it,
Stand atop it,
Let the clear air shoot out of my lungs
And my voice take over the atmosphere.
The great wall that washes its shadows over me
Sits gravely and tries to see.
Concentrating on every move I make...
When you least expect it,
the world will stop,
the sky will shatter like fragile glass,
the earth will shake,
you will fall like water slipping in between the cracks,
sliding into an unknown place,
where many have been,
the burning sensation that you call home sweet home,
gusts of wind start...
I woke up, my skull pounding without much memory of what had happened. The only thing I remembered was my dream. I tried hard to remember…it seemed like it was important...
I was a pizza guy, and it was my last run of the day. I was aware of a sense of uneasiness, danger, but I still walke...
To see your back blur before my eyes,
My heart’s door ajar,
My soul peeking through to see if you’d come back in,
The weight of my body drawn down with perplexing shock,
It makes me wonder.
All at once,
I want to hold you,
Shake you,
Make you feel the pain of my subjectiv...
