UntuitionHard to follow
Leper
They say a man’s soul Is shown by that between his lungs But it’s the crippled trickle From a feeble mind To content on his tongue That matters Because information is power And we are all guilty ’til we’re tried Leper legion No pledge of allegiance Fear, disgust and fury Lead to leper deadhesion So, […]
A birthday
I raised you with my own saliva, words and wine Tried to imagine myself resenting you But in my mind’s eye there’s no light Your eyes are bright and your hair is ashen Like the chestnut haze of cigarettes You wrap these long arms around my body Like you knew that none were left Of […]
The mushroom prince
I’m a zebra sans her stripes A fox clad like a dog It’s a nightmare that’s recurring Sniffing death in the air Where my shovel’s buried in the ground A pair of human legs That morph past midnight A creature that runs Before it stands But what do you stand for? The rains have poured […]
Albatross
Now I’ve been thrusted out A curse upon you It’s good to know what game to play When you bite too hard I’ll drop my tail And run faster Within and out I don’t believe in Karma But sometimes You strike ironic luck We all have roles Yours has a name in the DSM The […]
Push
These marionette fibres In your tortured muscles Push pull Heavy front A weakness of back Too tight jaws still talk Despite excess slack Certain parts are special Because they get you closer to god? A magic man can’t create life On his own But push push push push As I seem to red shift further […]
From the day the bigger banshee screeched
Dare not become Dare not embody The monstrous moon howler Author of tales That Freud foretold Traumatic sounds Mind numbed and ego torn I’ll keep my red riding hood on Did all a girl could do Wearing someone else’s skin Laced in, needle-heeled Stitched shut. Like a perfect fucking wound Mother dearest Eats runt who’s […]
A foreigner in your nativity
And every time you toot my horn I don my hooves My face goes red Clop, clop, into the room, I’ll saunter Make a bargain, call it sin Faustian debt letters in your bin A barn erected, wood, not tin A man never born, of woman who never… And merry that they were Around other […]
Material
Dig up the ghosts and give them words He said they’re colours or material When it’s red, coal, tar And you feel it in your shoulders He remembered a painful scowl A crushed samovar And his mother wound’s dark eyes
Human
As I palpated inside him and Pulled something out It was hot, it was still thinking Couldn’t have hurt that much I asked him who sold it to him I figured I’d try it on For size The input didn’t fit my eyes And what I heard Was even worse The scents were animalic If […]
Ten minus
It’s burning off my chest Streaming down my neck Everything that’s good Has to come to an end Don’t want to let you in So I can break you down A molecule that’s aware Smiling at itself Proton fast To kill need for answers Ain’t your first You ain’t my last Ten minus Nine Eight […]
Medea
There’s a hole that burns right through me But the danger’s gone, I’m no longer small Carved out my weakest meat I’ve killed my darling, now I’m free
Slick
It hits, oh how it hits I’m reduced to Shortened words And this oil slick on my back Distracts from The heaviness inside my lungs Your face drips sweat Down on my neck I’m salty, bothered My mind has broken But my body’s stronger It hits, it hits, it hits It ain’t water off a […]
