discos dead
yaaaaaay making things again
bewbsss. part one of my new outfit!
am i shameful
am i cruel
manipulating
does intention pour out of me, slip away
muttering on the wind
swirling away in flora patterns of spiraling thank yous
and apologies that pile up at my paws
marble dust piles collect whiskers graze rough surface
of mal-intent and tears
am i truthful
am i kind
enlightened
am i perfect beautiful and whole
as i’d like to believe
the dreamer in disguise the one who can sympathize?
or am i just a tiger in your eyes.
untameable beast from jungles deep and forests dark
red water current oblivion crushing direction
and gripping like fire drowning like hailstorm distemperment
spitting lies like poisonous snake hissing cold ground wilderness alive and awake
ready to take take take
strangle death grip hold on for dear life the vines won’t save you now
from your own doing
from your own rotten despair.
am i a figment, a pigment of your imagination only
to be curdled and thrown about in your cavernous stalagmites of uncertainty
and silence.
here the ground grows still the crocodiles don’t dare to venture,
too frightened of the gaping rip the silent pool
place where wolves cannot tread
hawk soars over silently sees all and says not a word
for fear of tumultuous earthquake
his love of meaningful glances keeps him sincere
am i pure bliss a sip from the goddess’ cup
sacrifice me, pelt maimed and eyes rolled back into thick striped skull
am i worthless now
am i your commodity loose morality breeding my immortality
skin adorns sweet old lady’s shoulders shivering child and adultering mothers
am i proud in death
was i proud alive sweet blood tooth claws ripping into hide
tender frolick cool bath of swimmer’s delight
no, i’m just a jungle cat, running to survive.
Bamboo #1
hinge
door hinge I heard you whinging the other night
I went over to you and knocked
the vase over, pieces flew violently
over the balcony’s edge
of the end I was just a fledgling
feeling barely alit with your florescentia
when, bursting through
to the other side you sledgehammered
yourself hard into my frame and
I cringe when I hear you flex
your screws and coo over your rattle
the bars of this cage I’ve made around myself
I and me and the hands
which are washing themselves
of your veneer and shine
on little door hinge, shine on
i miss tacos rapidos
late night carbohydrate binges
calluses tracing knees thighs hands intertwine
i miss your earlobes
i miss writing you
aye mi corazon, señor
feeling you from miles apart
indifferent mountainsides caressed your
right eyebrow
and yes i’m still in love with you
how hard is that to believe these days
i miss your form
your conscience and secrets
applauso a ti, señor
your dreams coming to light
fantastic rays of sun outweigh your love of
heights
i miss dreaming with you
lovely apparition there
forms lying round
i’ll always think of you that way
todos acqui, nada lugar
i miss confusing lyrics with conversation
making up slang to replace the act of slanging
(verb, transitive) dealing, selling/handling narcotics
looking out from the inside of jokes, exchanging looks, blushes
-sigh- tell more.
reveal your human side
you only cried twice
i count more from here
at least on my part
i miss thinking your every molecule was sacred
every knuckle
your attentive ear
scrutinizing my every breath
every beat and measure
yours yours eternally
siempre
in-progress
check out this mural i did on my dorm wall with chalk
the mirror bought half off
was more a gesture to some unknown and hidden time when it may have seemed
necessary
but now
only seemed a hoax
of a game one might play.
One day
she was 6 and the tangles ran deep into the veins so that
pulling them out seemed like
a torture worse than death.
she wanted to smash it
7 years of bad luck might not be half bad
after all
Blistering trust
broken pressure
soft demoralized satisfaction
The mark
Of turmoil
and discipline
Risk
His
Steakhouse
Yes, dust and sweat and blood…dust and sweat and blood, dust and sweat and blood, dust and sweat and blood
Pleasure of deep nothing
Beautiful troughing children began a famous ball
equally she touched the civilization
master dropping pink skin burns a sweaty stomach pounding soft and it
comes
