muse about what they cannot comprehend,
empty beds are grateful for the rain,
at least marble floors are cold as
fragrant Lilies are eliminated from
plaster mansions and frivolous
pillow cases threaten to vomit our
belongings into garbage bins and
abandoned cars parked outside of
our apartment are perfect irony
to your tangled hair as you sit in
the chair by the window, feet
on the furnace as you touch the
glass and it peels like paint,
wind becoming rain as the
chair collapses in fragments
of charred skeletal remains,
red hats falling off chests

The Way We Came I can still see you, but only on nights when the solar system tunes its lyre to the soporific key of the Conscience unwinding, as to drag the streetlight revolutionaries into the deepest sleep-deprived stone-cold hypnosis—so when they see me slip in and out of alleyways en route to your splintered door they will whisper, look how that gone little firefly eats her own wings, and I'll float on independently, carving orchestras out of the starlit sky to play for those fatal characters, as I flutter to you oh so dependently to what I'm dependent on—More Like This

There are pearls scattered across its bed but no one bothers to go that deep.
'The kid's mad,' says the lifeguard, but he keeps his gaze close to me.
I caught my goldfish there, and brought it home cupped between my palms.
I take flight into volcanoes and wait for flame-feathers to drift upwards to warm my skin.
They say it's dangerous to sit on edges and cliffs but then they'd never tried it before so I don't listen to them.
I just like the gentle heat and the yellow, orange, red, brown and black concoctions swirling around deep inside.
I come here often because it makes me free.

IncoherentSo that's nice. I like feeling like I'm a capitalist pariah. I'm a light that floats upon a current of shadows, reflecting on the glossy white wall as a nickel of water. Razor clouds of slate fold over me. Their lines block and reveal my listless glimmer. I let the lines pass into law and pass away. The curtains wave backandforth and back as the world exhales in whispers. I'm that little light, that bullet hole of sun. I stay through inattention, passively blinking at shadows and at the constant migration of the sky. I'm a small blue pierce of aesthetic lax, reflecting off a puddle of polished diamonds.More Like This

I'm still having nightmares about myself.
I've made wishes on poetry and torn apart bad books to re-write them,
Stolen candy from a baby and said F- words to strangers.
Forever, Finally and Free.
But I lied, because every time I'm finally sure I don't love you anymore I hear a song that was written about the two of us and I'm back in the state of forever, and the bathwater turns cold around me, and I remember that you'll never love me as much as I love you and F- word.
I plan to erase you from my memory,
(Like that scene in eternal sunshine of a spotless mind.)

Candace felt ashamed, embarrassed,

left message open on old Nokia
sitting on desk he'd toss keys on,
out to city delirious night life,
bar hopping, hopping, finding it

I took the long way home that night thinking about what you said, staring at my feet
Forcing them to point forward. Every time they disobeyed I pinched myself till my thighs were anesthetized,
So now I can’t feel my legs.
I’ve always written the words you’ve said to me and posted them around my room,
I'd bite my lip, as the sun hit the L in useless,
Us-(e)-less. Imaging the way the words rolled off your tongue
That day I found you sitting on the edge of my bed reading y
