The Landing
The aliens arrived and they read our DNA just like a book. They had no interest in our words. They sampled the oceans and its diseases, a pathology specimen from the self-destructive damsel of this solar system, an off-smelling primordial soup that has sat on the counter for too long, infested with small creatures who […]
Radium Girl
She thinks she knows what’s good for her A glow she can’t deny And as she paints the time Her youth runs dry She’s a radium girl White teeth, bright smile Not one for wisdom’s pearls All the while she lies But this girl’s on time Lead coffin fused Jaw clenched, skin brined For sale: […]
The waves
Hide your face in the dark Here nobody has a mouth Streets are echoes Of the past We play our part We are still making our way Through the months Through the days Through the myths and Through discovery Burning through the Greek alphabet Dethrone the self-crowned Proud idiot kings and queens Off with their […]
Spills
I am an ossuary For the skulls and bones Who’ve seen my insides raw I can envelop and expand To hold imprints of loved ones past For unloved familiar faces For warm strangers It is now baggage of my own Imprints of film and life That I feel I’ve lived But now these imprints cause […]
Oberon
You are holly topiary A king of the fairies A singing canary This weird castle suits you You ain’t a crown like that But those stairs leading up Surely do suit your cats Rapunzel stuck in the fire escape Goldilocks without a fussy taste I wish I knew time, Alas I only have haste He’s […]
Neuron Star
Now here’s an eclipse As the blood slowly drains Away from my eyes and down from my heart A neuron breached its way too far With gravity of magnetars It is not a lapse of time. It is not a prayer for the sun. Fuck St Valentine and everything he’s never done.
White elephant
I took a taste of honey I took a taste of clover Soon as I knew taste of sin In the light it was all over The tape played halfway through Then it snagged some more Ceremony’s been rescheduled Of birth, of death Starting life in hanging And ends within unknown lore White elephant dreams […]
Indifferent
You started out, looking just like me And when we split off at the fork in that other mother It had somehow turned into another world Just another path, a routine substitution Let me prove to you, that you too, are gray inside Extrusion is a superficial game Bone, bile, skin and muscle And nothing […]
Traces
I live with my past on the surface We turn inside out and outside in again It’s not a thing I haven’t seen before I came, I heard and saw you More bare than this old scratching pole Sitting in the corner silent With that blue glow to your face I still don’t know If […]
Future Diaries: She, Robot
I used to be creative. I used to make music, construct images, to write, to draw. I used to have a thirst to learn. Now I am petty and self absorbed, I have turned out just like my father. I am a one dimensional character paralyzed by self awareness, full of self loathing. But I […]
Jumpsuit
Locked so many eyes Turned away that many signs Exorcised most feelings And simmered down the tides too high Returning greetings from white knuckled fists Buckled daily, but did not return Faced straight to what the crooked say To reach a resolution, one is patient Must wait through, ’til crack of day I’ve locked so […]
Yellow pavers
Autumn leaves trickle down like bile Bloody bandages on trees Yellow pavers line the pathways Where we learnt to practise our disease As we are tearing through the rubble Wiping off the dust of shame The mob has found a perpetrator But only dead are here to blame Potholes fill the barren roads Where toy […]
Future Diaries: Esrever
I dashed quickly out of her greasy hands, past the bodyguard onto the street, zipping my jeans back up under the floodlamp behind my head, unsatisfied. The rain, backlit begun vacuuming back its own tears in reverse as underneath my feet, the water was gluttonously purged out by the storm drain. Innocence was gained. Time […]
421
Of the Eros and Ego, an urge for construction The defective goes by his own hands The superior prototype fears death As weak of strong will, plead for destruction Short tooth cuts itself on long days His darkened skin’s been burning for years Illusory desire flickers fluorescent He sits on the corner of bed, undressed […]
Glass of Water
In slow motion Two eyes widen A glass of water hits the floor And we’re moving with slow notions In a wait for something more
Future Diaries: Mirrors Pt.1 – Introduction
“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” – C.G. Jung When somebody fantasizes about an illegal action, are they a criminal? When an undesired individual features you their sexual daydream, outside of your own control, with no authorization, is it a […]
Future Diaries: One connectome under ode
One connectome, one mind. We are the future joined by experience. We walk around, and talk and see as future predictions derived from similar neural maps, guiding us in a semi organized crowd to the factory where we tie shoes. We have in fact become better than automatons in the third world and life is […]
Skip lid
If you believe you won’t perish before your descendants are torn into atoms apart, you’ll need to look at the world from a lesser distance to start to understand universal love for it is loud as a boom that’s sonic, not bourne of sexuality, nor in nature Platonic. It is an absence of anxiety which […]
From near as from far
The first photon seen in life Made of love born of violence And sheep clothing of determination Zoom out, it’s like a fractal Even a virgin’s teeth Still live between the lips She is beclawed By inheritance, hips mortal When the first half of us Swam to a new home The unlucky drowned headfirst Burned […]
Ganymede
Man as a child is a satellite trying to refine its’ orbit around the Mother planet, takes on all the information he can, some good, some bad, learns to interact. As he evolves into complexity, he experiences a few collisions before crashing into smithereens during his teens, fragments falling scattered, unable to take the cracks […]
Spaceman
Sleeping like a nomad at night in the international space station, they said you hit the ground headfirst if you don’t start by aiming at the low hanging fruit before flying out to Mars. With memories fragmented across the universe, past times are still well versed in all our worlds, alas the singularity may only […]
Mono
The more sources of light beam to illuminate your sides The more shadows will stalk you on the way along your strides Solo, duo, trio or quo, we are limited To seeing only mirrors of ourselves
Youth
Her eyes glimmered like green marbles rolling across a classroom floor. It was a memory that left me bruised – like the knees under her socks, which were covered in scrapes from blissfully playful and carefree ignorance; those first few strikes of exposure to the outside world. Her cracked lips smiled at me awkwardly from […]
