You, encased in beauty, constantly fixing more. Two oxygens combine as iodine slivers out of your kind of walk-the-line. You are mine. And you won't say or decay away what won't repay, not for me at least. Last night you sauntered way outside to purge the sky of feelings. I followed you and you, under that deep black sky, wishing you could die. Black-hearted you makes wishes for broken dishes, instead of my little face to kiss. It's me you miss. Not enough to reply, or explain why, or end this lie. Last night you jammed your foot on the gas and cut class to take pain away from things already passed. I laughed. And you cried crocodile tears s
The first time I saw him,
he was standing at the foot
of a wrought-iron casket,
awkward and living.
Looking at nothing.
I said, "I'm sorry,"
and he said, "Thank you."
But the 'you' was like a
dusty speck flying off
smashed sod bricks.
More specks flew from his
mouth as the others
confirmed their
sincerest apologies.
"Surely it wasn't meant
to turn out like this."
But again I saw him
standing at the corner,
way past respectable hours.
His nervous-tick stoic
seemed to have faded since
that day of ceremonious formality.
Or maybe things were strange for him, now.
That or they never were.
He slowly sideways glanced,
a
Bravely you looked at us,
or maybe not our real, live bodies.
Just looked onto the next
adventure. You said,
"Some people, when
philosophy calls for,
or when completely or not
absolutely necessary, just
deserve to die."
Before, I'd looked into your
deep red eyes and felt
silly and happy and
smiled.
Just like Candace.
Her smiles were bright and
big and I swear they'd make
a sawdust headed water-drinking
pretty petty dove cry.
Or maybe a psycho killer,
you never know.
You just don't know
mercy the way I've begged for it,
romanticized about beauty
the way I have, watching
the sun set, and finding a ray of
perfect-ta
I want to write all over you
I want you to know everything
and if you forget
I want you to look in the mirror
and see it on your face
and I want you to understand
why I hit you harder
than all my other friends
and why I find stupid reasons
to touch you
and other shit
and I don't want you to wonder
and I want you to know
and I want to write all over you
with a permenent marker
so when you look in the mirror
you'll remember me
where the air is tight
and the soot and dirt
are pulled away
and you think you're getting clean
you're washing all the ugly things
and you don't have to ask yourself
do I need this
question?
because the way it sounds
is so simple
just pulling and no telling and don't
sweep it under the rug
you won't have to hide
once you've got a soap box
to stand on
once you don't have to understand
and the questions
won't be questions
and they won't be under the rug
to find some day
and become more
questionable
then they were in the first place
so vacuum up your soot and shit
snuff out the qeer
candle she lit
if you just keep pu
The tiles light up when you step on them
I think they like to keep track
So don't say something you'd regret later
They won't let you take it back
The halls look friendly enough
The pews are just seats for a stage
But their looks will rip your heart out
With guilt that won't go away
The smiling man's so triumphant
He's ridding the world of pagans and sin
He talks non-stop about justice
He hits the book on the table again
I'm sitting here reading the echo
To the words we know he wrote
We're hushed if ever we question
'Cause that's just how it goes
It's a strange kind of cold this morning
It's only my nose and fingers
But I ca
She's sulking out
She's…
I found her old journal
I read it
Didn't seem much different
Than the way she is now
Every time I hear the phone
I expect her
I worry
But I'm always disappointed when it's someone else
It's always someone else
I should not want her
I should not expect her
She taught me,
No obsessing, It'll kill you faster
Well It's killing me faster
Funny how I asked for advice on her
And she's the only one who knew
Yet…
I can't follow
The instructions
Asking for help is childish
And when I do,
I always need a dictionary
Her words are so mean
They cut me like paper
She's so careless, she's
Sooo cool
Calls
My heart is in my throat
It'll soon be in my mouth
and when you kiss me, will you take it
Then go and spit it out?
Or will you give it back?
Or maybe gulp it down?
Another spike against your throat
Another agitated sound
Will you chew it up
In bits between your teeth
And spread it all around this town
So I can't find a single piece?
Will you cheat and pass it on
To someone else instead
Or not be happy with just my heart
and catch what's in my head?
But when you feel my heart
Beat against your lip
Don't expect my blood, too
You can't have a single sip
"You should be a writer. You're a good writer." Seanna's looked up at the sky, orange and red like a bleeding star. She wrapped her red wool around her flesh, carefree but interested in what Beth had to say.
Beth bit the inside of her cheek, falling back on the brown grass. "I don't know. I always try, and I end up deleting what I type."
Seanna giggled. "I think you're just lazy."
Beth smiled, but sighed despite herself. "I just hate how I know it's a path of ultimate doom. Sure, tons of kids are good writers, but you think every one of those kids gets published when the grow up? Obviously not. But everyone thinks, Oh yes, it's going to be
Out of the
Corner
Of
My
Eye,
I see my little
Kitty
Strechting
She is asking for my love,
She is blinking her big
Eyes at me
I am hypnotized by the
Computer sceen
This captivating light,
Like I care so much
What she has to say
Turn and face her
But she's not there
And she never was…
Luna luna, my love
One more time
I'm hallucinating
Slowly fading
Chained up in a chair
But I don't really care
Where'd my kitty go?
Tell me Where'd my kitty go?
she says:
you wear that like a disaster
you shouldn't throw it in a lake
it deserves a river
look at yourself, in the mirror
check yourself one more time
oh no,
i see the spirals on your face
tall shadows of displace
long showers that make you
breathe in steam…
she stops, with a sigh and says
i like the way you used to laugh
alone, like no one even cared
and i liked how you never
brushed your hair
where did you go?
but don't answer, i know
i think i'll always know
she takes a drink of water and
leans on her knees
she says, but you know
i still don't agree
A shockingly strong husband, was he
When you met him
A talent for charming you
And a charm for roulette
He wins and wins and wins and's got
Good luck like he's made for you
He'll be a great daddy, cause of that
He'll be a great daddy
Cause he's great in bed
Shockingly strong lips when he
Bites your neck
Lucky stroke of luck,
Don't you think Angie, when you met?
He's got a big house and a mind
Like it was meant for you
Are you lost in a dream
Or just the way he makes you laugh?
And he'll be a great daddy, too…
I'd forgotten your name
Still recalled that I found it,
Just forgot what it was
Then I found it again
But I was too late, I found
That the sun had went down
And the girls had gone home
Though the stars were out,
The moon
Hanging low
Said sorry, I cannot
Help you tonight
To her I stay true
So to you must lie
And I left her, pretending
Like I never knew
Never looked,
Never cared,
Never really
Loved you
