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 […]
There’s someone standing guard In the center tower Watch your hands, don’t point your fingers Your neighbor’s behaving better It’s a competition In dark pipes underwater, you are connected together Throw another stone at their glass ceiling No fist can bring back creditation Each punch more power for evil’s impregnation They are chosen, you are […]
Down at the fork in the road you are damned Internalize or break law in symmetry, Follow fate safe along these parallel scars, of past in present Inflammation lingers longer, it will linger tightly, a reminding message It’s predictable on you Be the better man, girl Retribution’s gift bears broken teeth Your mother told you […]
Floods the river, caves the mountain Dragging out these fantasies of disappointment Follow me out by border’s way Passive, leading by my side Cracking strata clears a stage for two Guilt is green, as I am clear You’re colour blind and I can’t hear Ignorance is bliss War is familial Hands will tear At those, […]
Stepping stones appear in muddy waters Step by step with limited vision Step half-man and walk obtund Breathe in through your iron lungs Between the eyes of jury duty Chosen ones of convenient suiting Bound possibilities by book read of recessions In the dirt His brain is losing its last depressions He walks, he runs […]
Yank my chain down to a Path further down the flowchart As we look over our shoulders Wondering what could’ve been if we had Acted accordingly to tradition not Fragmentation of the backwards tracking mind What if What if What if Pathology of action is a pathology inside An obsession by impressions caused by Fragmentation […]
In the shadow of yesterday’s man is one side of us A binary game of snakes and ladders tempting fate Murder business mid-wives, freed from agency at one incision Stretched skin tanning, splayed upon a rash decision Through burnt lips we have drunk the broth Through eroded teeth we’ve lost control Chew what’s left that’s […]
If you could only see what I can see Black mirror mind, if you could taste the air I breathe A sight photograph, artefacted lost moment in time If seen through the heart of an Iris, inversion The price is increased as it flees, eye of mine Through this abstraction layer you too can see […]
Birds fall out of the sky all the time They might love and they might cry Seasons change, it doesn’t matter Birdies never say goodbye When Kodamas mourn inside Free of mental ties that bind Going backwards not in numbers Debriding holes inside your mind Birdies fly and birdies talk Prisoners chained to their yolk […]
As I sped down the hallways I am terrified, terrified Two more stories ’til you see the door Running terrified, terrified Are we part of the system Birthing us to our doom Smoking mirrors they show us Brothers and sisters Reeling in chaos Running back to our tombs As we sped down the hallways We […]
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 […]
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 […]
