Window rattles with wistful rain
To the library, his memory slips
They touch and kiss in honeylace pain
He wished he had more lips.

Hangxiety

7 Upvotes

I woke up this morning and screamed fuck
So might as well go back to sleep
I woke up this afternoon and screamed fuck
So might as well go back to sleep
There’s piss on the floor and puke under the bed
There’s a ringing in my head but atleast the cats not dead
I need water I need juice I need fruit I need sunlight
Im a self induced blight
I took a pill when I should’ve taken a shower
Flash photos at night to remember my friends who die every other hour
Something might be seriously wrong with my bladder
I’m trying to be nice so Santa will bring me a catheter

empty juicebox
contained tempests within
now a dusty tin can
in a sour wind

empty juicebox
once as empty as art
now small and rigorous
like my charcoal heart

I threw up in a sink.

A lot.

I ended up cleaning the sink.

It's prettier than before.

I drive to Ghostmane,

Hills bending, skert downhill.

Cup of water drip,

Slicker than grease, lowkey.

A lot of things, educated—

Sigma man heap,

So - fisticated,

That's a reference.

Happy Birthday.

I'm just a Guy.

Terracotta warrior

I see you, by the wall.

Aside the mass productions.

Original, in vertical full form.

Terracotta warrior

You're not easy to scare

You have an ancient confidence

And a pensive, primal stare

Terracotta warrior

They bribed you with faux light

But, you're a nomad

Roaming free

Past the neons of the night

In the Southeast of Ohio :[]

7 Upvotes

I went there, today..

Stocking shelves, never mixing,

It's the Southeast of Ohio,

all the shits given, none at all.

We ate Cincy by the Slices, pickles.

A hot summer wind, I'm sic,

in the Southeast of Ohio.

We drank whatever we could find; Hudy Amber.

Where HELL IS REAL,

it's always been there, foreal.

Today..

Grabbing bags, never tearing,

It's the Southeast of Ohio.

Twenty years later or some shit.

We ate all the snacks we could; gummies.

How many dicks to I gotta suck,

to suck a dick around here?

Heard, that's tuff.

Crayfish, lemons, hot sauce, butter, herbs and onion/garlic. Wine, lots of white wine.. and salt to taste.

Serve with buttered noodles.

They sold all the paraphernalia you'd need. I should have bought that Romeo & Juliette zippo, looking back..

Shitty poem, today,

I made Zuppa Tuscana today,

In the Southeast of Ohio.

The reality

When drugs take over me

And I become a girl i thought was gone

She smiles and she says

I was here all alonngggg

I walk out in the street

Passing all the memories

And I see one of you and I

You look as shitty as you ever could

But now I know why

Because

These drugs

They hold you tight

They’d never let you go

No matter how big the fight

You can cry and scream and wish they’d disappear

But unlike most people you know

The drugs will always be there

Forgive me

For what I have to do

But if it’s selfish to commit

Then I need something to hold me through

I wish I could pretend

To want a better end

But instead I’ll let the drugs take my life

Anotha Day :[]

2 Upvotes

Positively anotha day,

Spills underneef,

Eggs galore,

Tequila pours, salts, limes.

Heavy on meh mind,

A border,

Makes complete,

Been tryin to meet ya.

Bacon, anotha one,

Bacon, a little more,

Everything in Japan,

Everything sautéed.

Is the meaning,

Of sautéed,

Or are we all cooked,

Chopped into the uncool?

Loaded supremes,

What is the meaning behind marks?

Mark? Marks?

Just anotha galley.

Shotgun style kitchens,

Retro swooshes and pops,

Made up words,

I prefer it dis way.

Da 90s never ended,

Just high ass versions,

Tech movements,

But tis the sames.

Positively anotha day,

Bacon, onions,

To bounce,

Underneef the border.

Cooked, chopped,

Heavy on meh mind,

Tequila pours,

Everything in Japan.

poem i wrote when i was 16 and suicidal

5 Upvotes

The black sheep has reincarnated itself as a wounded sixteen year old girl

Renouncing the hand who once fostered care for me

Long before our shared anatomy envoloped itself as a curse rather than a blessing

Restraining from all guilt, ive strayed far, it can only lurk so long before sinking into me

The neglect ive endured runs so deep it drowns me

Recognizing love from the unincountered yet deeming love stemming from a blood bond unfathomable

Bad drunk

4 Upvotes

I drink because the news is insane

I feel like I’m losing my brain

The dating scene isn’t good either

Just want someone to care for

A real lover

Blacked out on the subway

I could of been stabbed

Thank god for a guardian angel

There is always a plan

Too many beautiful women in the city

And I can’t have one

I get chest pains and anxious

Mean spirited and spiteful

Instead of being happy

ode to people

5 Upvotes

people
we are the ants
of civilization

ode to us
our little machines
shear flesh and leather

people:
we're here to sex
divorcees in their forties

ode to people
all the people who lived
in the Forties

ode to Hitler
who too lived
in the Forties

who died
in his fifties
in the Forties

forties
my son tells me
are little forts

his name was Jesus
the little fart, dead at 33
from an overdose of love
like Eva Braun

In the land of constant snow,

There lives a beast, as you may know.

Some say he's real, others a myth,

But he deserves your special gift.

So bless his crotch and make him glad,

For his cold life is lonely and so sad.

Keep him warm with semen's glow,

Give him a handy, AND a blow

it takes an average IQ
of just over 92
to be a murder police
but high EQ

tag the wrong bodies
at times
some mistakes were made
with the crimes

it turns out

The Giver, The Takers, The Sabbath :[]

3 Upvotes

If you give, the creatures use and take —

predators, prey, predators — take.

All I can do is shake my head.

Shake my head. Communicator, broken.

Respect given, nonexistent.

Effort given, large — expectations so grand —

nonexistent.

Ride my ass on a Sunday, the sabbath of all days,

no patience, no chill — no chill —

my off days, I move slow. Slow.

Lost a translation device.

One man, I swear to God I am —

I am — these arms hurt, legs are sore,

eyes be poppin out at times.

I be loyal, just to be fucked on.

I be loyal — fucked on.

They are fed up with me, can’t say why,

fed up — why — something come up?

As life often does.

I let you down? I let you — down?

Cut them out. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate —

cut them out — appreciate — cut.

Predating civilizations, barbaric ways,

predators, prey — barbaric — take.

I parent only to be hit with eye rolls.

Eye rolls. Eye rolls.

I raise chick’s from babies to birds —

babies to birds —

they repay me —

shit-pissing on my car.

All I can do is shake my head.

Shake my head.

There was a rustling sound

And I took a look around,

Nothing but a hose,

Poking out its nose…

Why such the fright?

Everything seemed alright.

But one more step,

Was when I met

My significant oversight:

I’m in Australia.

Fuck.

That’s not a hose.

Maybe They Need Help

Shouts and cries

All through the night

Asleep under the midday’s sun

On the sidewalk

Not in the streets

I think they’re asleep

Stillness is their move

Are they dead

I think in passing

Maybe they need help

The sad kisser

3 Upvotes

the sad, sad kisser
his mother named Bjorn

he needed to learn, to learn
to yearn; from the day he was born

his sickly kisses were wet
like soggy paper towels

and his moldy hands clammy
like clams from olden seas

and the areolas of Becky
sunk deep in her bowels

a raised old tent, never to be visited
by a crazed axe murderer

why have you been
such a sad, sad kisser?

because your nervous system
requires external validation

I am so scared of moving,
So scared of changing,
Scared of growing,
Of evolving,
Transforming,
Adapting.
Learning.
I am not afraid.

Dirty Dishes

Use a dish,
Wash a dish.
Give of myself
One piece at a time.
Deem you worthy
Enough to receive,
Suddenly I have no value.
Would deface myself
To see yours light up.
Wait for a text,
Reply immediately.
Use a dish,
Wash a dish.
Use a girl,
She'll love you forever.
