Threads of hair weave into my pillow
Threats of time shake eyelashes
Pull the chest up first,
Heavy goes the head.
Can’t. Leave. Bed
Threads of hair weave into my pillow
Threats of time shake eyelashes
Pull the chest up first,
Heavy goes the head.
Can’t. Leave. Bed
Bite bite bite bite down on the sound
Lick the spaces, fill the wounds of words
It is as appetizing as the breath of
two vowels in love and helping each other exist.
So bite down on the words you can’t live without.
Remove your kalon crippled comatose skin
Reach inside your lungs
Repeat after me
“I am beautiful — I am beauty!”
Every morning and night for best results.
I wince between dancers of the gothic glamour
bathed in bodies I have never met
and we scream in unison a guilty pleasure,
feeding a poetic laugh.
I flow past eyes that will never see me and capture breaths I will never have.
But I live this everafter
After a world of great disaster.
And so you tap your chisled-tipped words on chalkboard like a metronome mouth piece. I time the words of betrayal. Right on time.
