Let It

Lifelines left to dry
hung, unspun
as my mind goes
where it's supposed to.

UNDRGRND

Presently pitying me,

I beg. And by entirely different means,

I found the way you lost yourself.

You wanted to believe in anything.

Siste

What’s the worst that could happen?
Everything that did.
I echo my shadow’s disappearing act
and don’t let you in on the joke.

Carry On

My little piano, I’m wide-eyed;
jaw still on the floor.
I refuse to count lessons learned because
lille venn, every song ends.
But I’ll carry your tune with me.

Smoldering

half whisper/half kiss
Her eyes,
like white sheets
are lies.
raspy future tense.

Harsh Reality

Wishful thinking: no thoughts.
Logic-less and tongue-tied
maybe I should learn to whistle.
But I like thinking of ghosts.

Two Hundred

There we go. Oh, here she goes:
the plunge. emit radiation humbly
a perfectly executed system.


lets not focus onward

Short Breaths

I’m waiting by the sea,
only exhaling:
breathing room.



Spine sinks at the thought.

The Pink Room

I see now why
memories
are meant mostly
for ebbing tides.
Parting,
I saw your coattails.

Roadside

Twisted mist lined sheets
fog only for few, rarely new
sought suitors.
And oh, whistles and thistles
tickle dropped potential.

Autobot

Parched (read: starved for attention)
voice box fractures.
Prodding lights reveal early introversion,
eyes pick up the slack.

Carnivore

What to say, I intra-think.
These words I deem,
ill-fitting, to say the least.
I’m dire and grim, and
maybe quick with wit.
Conniptions.

Soda, popped

Fizzled, bubbles still tickle my nose though.
Can’t help but think of you,
damn my creativity and affinity for
love.

Never Have I Ever

sleeves rolled up
only question:
puddle or pool.
I’m collecting; collected.
Not the right sentiment at all.

Craig's List

Stiff drink,
you made me at numb.
I thought I loved you.
Missed connections.

Shilly-Shally

Her forearms, half extended,
lying again.
Blatant indifference creaked
through her thighs to her tendon
toes. Pointed.

Stainless

Frames like, drifting,
barely brushing outlines.
Tunnel, maybe bridge.
Regardless,
past tense trusts.
Hold taut.

(Of Choice)

Complicated Cocktail:

2 parts memory

1 part empty time

3 parts dots to connect

1 part paper trail

Control

She hesitates like shockwaves
hitting my spine, spreading to
zealous hips.
She hesitates, and I know I should too.
Breath like poetry.

Now

Love in

skips and dimes.

Records ring

affection.

Belting refrains.
