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 […]
They burst apart when we’re asleep These unexamined inconsistencies Memories, a fibrous mass Weigh something on a pair of scales Energy When you ask, you change The order of things and The things in the order Elegy Write it down and spurn Contrarian words I would have said On the street two ships of Thesius […]
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 […]
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.

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, it 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, marching 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 […]
