my head pounds ( Read more... )

the emory board lay in the cool rings of water on the desk ( Read more... )

i spend time down by the water ( Read more... )

draped across the brown mass i sleep ( Read more... )

i pushed against the glass ( Read more... )

flesh pulled tight in my throat ( Read more... )

dark water
over my body
im displaced
im like a record
in the best times i see
i see the faces of the others
im limp
swollen and tasted
i flail and sink
im drowning in bed
drowning in you
im indifferent
id like to taste the difference
see the roads
made the choice
im still sinking

the fireflies
like flashing christmas lights
swirling and dancing
as we speed toward home
down to the farms is where i wanna be
explosions in the distance
they come earlier than expected
i dont know where home is
but im there with you
i feel it with you
we are fireflies in the field
glowing
together

the trees burn orange outside my window
peas and corn
instant lunch on my desk
great big eyes and black bras tempt the senses
rub my tongue over
i feel the film
the dirty, salty run-down taste
i drank it up
spit it out then started over
licked my hand to make sure im still there
and wait
i wait for the call

it was slow and strange
we werent together and that made me uneasy
the automatic light outside my room turned on
bright
buzz, flicker
then it went off
five and a half hours of lost sleep
my body spilled onto the floor
wrapped in indian bedding
i felt more alive than the dragonfly on my mirror
i only wish i had wings to fly to you
i only wish
