It doesn't hurt the first day
Only the second and third
It's raw without the rubbing
And with the rubbing, worse
Maybe I'll find space inside
To sleep away the scabs
Or maybe I'll dream
And heal the skein
With my illusions intact
It doesn't hurt the first day
Only the second and third
It's raw without the rubbing
And with the rubbing, worse
Maybe I'll find space inside
To sleep away the scabs
Or maybe I'll dream
And heal the skein
With my illusions intact
This perfumed air
Will kill my brain
Nerves to dumb
Twitching bundles
Or maybe I'll never
Breathe again
Drive the blood
To the depths below
Summer is unbearable
The places to go
The beaches to see
The advices of how to drive and be
And all you haven't done
Give me winter instead
Braced behind the panes of glass
Or outside for a bellyful of air
Among the dead and desolate
Where the snow reaches the branch
You can stay awake forever
And you
Don't have to do a thing
We touched
, afraid of skin
We kissed , with lips
Akimbo
The awkward glance
Cast back around
Stings deep ,
When
Left on its own
It's Funny, I can
No longer grasp basic objects
The shapes whirl to shade instead
Maybe I climbed all night and day
Through brick and space and breath
Maybe I drank the pills all morn
To swim the day upstream (While
burning the lights out overhead)
Or maybe I cried the world to sleep
And woke the wolves instead
Motionless is not only
The sum of moving parts
For dragging you back
To the headaches and white light
Better to scrap it tonight
And sit on the winner
Break their stale bread while
Crossing random wires
For maybe they'll sing for you
Boy
And maybe you'll just sleep
Through the fight
Why care about the day
When all of the day is done
Through the digestions
Frozen
Just to peek through blinds
Counting it back to null
Check for wires
Round the back of the house
Flip the coffee table sideways
To gauge the static behind
Maybe they're listening
And maybe they aren't Through
the floor through the floor through
The floor
Might as well live like they are
And whet their gazes beyond
There is nothing worse
Than a packed swim bag
Outside a closed pool
Well actually
There are many worse things, yes
So so many worse
Things
Some guy over there
Is Talking
to himself
Oh
God my God
It's me
He's muttering
And spurting all
Under his breath
Oh no oh
Well that's me
Why won't he just die
Or close up his eyes
And winnow himself
Back to sleep
Because because
Oh God because
He cannot escape how it
Repeats!
Let her bleed out - and quench the pain
She was coming at you anyway
Careless toe tapping the - trigger pulse
And fingers pasted to accessories
Let her bleed out in the sun and rain
And take her breath with the shade
She was coming for this long away
As hunger sharpens - everything
So now what
If it burns it
Burns it burns
All the way
through the ground
And then
With what can still
take shape
Following
In its place
There can be no consolation now
For the sins they instilled without you
Which in your name
Will reach - the moon
The guilt for the glut of the dust
Let the stain set on in
For
Nothing else will last the night
Stuffed full of acid
I cannot feel my teeth
Braced within this cage of bone
Sleeping off
What the day long makes
Breathing the water out
Takes concentration for
The fever within
When rocks and shells work their way
To your toes
While glass can't break
The surface
In
The strayed concentration
Of crafting the mask
Meets blankness in the light of day
For all of the layers, and flesh of greys -
Comes undone with the shade, and gaze
The pressures of day align
With the pressures of night - to day
When the urges of light
Merge the shadows of pathos
The hours seem longer - than staying
