conspiring their exodus
clamoring for the cool negligence
of concrete;
lost tongues in long weeping throats
valveless
glut of heartmatter
alabaster, pollen, necrotic silk
i'll empty their blasphemies
from broken tusks
spilling the elocution of bliss
so it does not reach the dead.

Tal vez la cuenta atrás se haya acabado, pero tú luces tan encantador como siempre.

Faceing my time
The wrinkles in my skin
Telling the story of my life
There are lines for the tears
In the flesh below my eyes
Lines for the laughs
Playing delicately around my mouth
Lines for the anger
In my forhead
Lines for the pain
On my brow
Lines for the care
On my hands
Lines of the sun
On my shoulders
They may be ugly
These lines of mine
But still I love them
They tell my life

It's the most adorable sound
I don't want to take my eyes off of you
You have me here spellbound
I love you so very much
You make my world a better place
It's like you wash all my worries away
Just with a simple embrace
And then I open my eyes just to find
That I'm still alone on the dark
Alone but surrounded by people
And that's what's breaking my heart
Surrounded by my loved ones
We're together but still we're apart
When I close my eyes again
I'm right back there in your embrace
And I wonder why this isn't real
'Cause I can so clearly see your face
But it is nothing but my mind

and how you would always have questions

for so long i've tried to encode you a message
oh, how i have been so tempted
but now when i recite this passage
these secrets i must tell then
this casket now you've buried me in

I Never Cry
It rips my stomach into seventy small pieces whenever you talk about the guy you just met, or your exboyfriends, or some prospective new boyfriends. But most of all, I hate when you talk about how we're best friends. I have enough best friends, why don't you love me?
Wait, I know, is it because I'm bald?
Maybe I stink.
Too tall?
Too dumb, too smart?
Maybe I swear too much.
Maybe I don't act my age, maybe I do.
I think I'm just too friendly. I never cry, but you know, whenever you talk about how good of friends we are, and how you don't know what you'd do without me, I want to.
You like my best friend. He's good lookin

an era of days that never obsolesce,
creatured by clowns with warpainted smiles,
weathering hokums, undressing the exomphalos.
This polysemy is nameless like ugly penetralia
collecting in dimensions across the street, where a man is always leaving
with my life. The whole entire world is such poor theater,
the original atrocity is reenacted without veracity. Will I be
beautiful,
this time?
I'll always mourn how the empiricist
murders

But
you do
inspire some magic, as evidenced
by a thousand future empires
plummeting

As Tara's mind came back into consciousness, her eyes slowly took in her surroundings, she was in her bed. She looked around sensing another presence within the room and saw her dad looking back at her. Tara sat up wondering if he was angry at her for leaving her room.
"Dad?" she squeaked her voice tiny from lack of use, he approached the bed in a fluid motion of steps.
Her father was a tall middle aged man with well defined cheeks bones and worry lines under his eyes. His dark caramel hair was already beginning to gray. Many at work knew him as "ripper", but at home he went by Rupert or Giles.

Where the Interstate EndsShe watched him from the dark corner of the room. Saw him toss back another shot, the seventh or eighth one that night. She wondered what had driven him here, what demons had taken hold of him and sent him to this dark, dingy little backstreet bar. The coastal town wasn't known for being the best of places, it was the end of the interstate. Everything and everyone got dumped into this little town sooner or later. Including her. She lived for it though, this was her home, she knew the streets like the back of her hand, knew everyone in them. He was new though. Something she hadn't expected.

Unfortunately, I'm the one going to be doing the leaving. I'm the one who has to say goodbye, why you stay here and continue to live your life, without me. The cab driver is getting impatient. I hailed his yellow cab almost ten minutes ago, and we're still standing here, tears streaming down my face, mixing with the rain.

Falling so freely
The wind screaming past me
My ears deafened to all sound.
Laying all the weapons down
That I have kept so close to me
I can finally be set free
There is nothing stopping me.
There are no enemies that can stop
This freedom that I have found
This time that has finally
Come within my reach
No longer fleeing
I can finally rest, be at peace
Lay my weary head down
Because home is calling me back.

I didn't know comedians had babies
But, your words are infectious as rabies
Giving birth to moments of rare brilliance
Cause if i were, Robbin' "Hood i'd have their millions

Cause two wholes take away the fraction
Tell me where the slot is to put my cash in
Do I wrap it up before i put it in deposit
Because i've become leery of keepin it in the closet
Giddy about this money like a teenagers first time
I do know she's after the tip just like her pursed

And it all happens before our eyes
Time goes on and life passes by
Things progress

And so must we
Have to carry on
Like nature running its task
We must too
We all have a purpose
Me and you
We are nature’s beauty

Here I am in the old world
banished from the new
came looking for a legend
a memory I found.
For so old was this world, I find
that none were still around
and quietly, I starred around
then slowly my eyes wept
alone I was to always be
beneath a heart well kept.

White blankets that obscure, the purple and lines.
And where do we come from?
What are we made of.
Is it strong or weak, small and unsure.
Strong, brittle and thin.
The colors of a nightmare, white nights and red ghosts.
Where do we come from, what are we made of?
Red that twists and grows, what are we made of...
