When the apples Leaves And branches Have been insatiably devoured And there's nothing left to take You lean Frozen against the rigid stumps Who give pants, whimpers, howls From what remains? Blown out veins and petrified trust Hungry doormats Objectified Devoting at your feet Praying for the vacant pat Of hollow Apologetics "now, let us…Read more Arms Length

Salt
I want to spit the Unforgiving truth across your unsaved face Slap your mouth with my sharpened tongue Fatten and split your lip In front of the empty fridge Where you picked apart my imperfections Just before the exam When I'd barely yet begun to be You hated hated hated me Hungry for the elucide…Read more Salt
Death of a Dream Journal
Cratered Lake and pot-holed The soul-hungry collective stalked empty mauls Hollow cases Echoed cries of the old normal We should have never been Taking as opposed to giving or sheltering tree Bitten Stung Strung out How should love be? A nearby wedding Featuring meth addicted bested men Filled the former foyers of Wall Street With…Read more Death of a Dream Journal
Venus

Tube Be
Breathe in Breathe out The breathless beast beeps Fluid life through the veins of night calls Cutting dreams Like a knife Through sleep and sanity The way it used to be Cloudy thoughtlessness Unintended tubes Replace Organic function Systemically oppressed Dirty genes because you chose to ignore What was right?

Under Wait
Mass incarcerated index Prestigious, profitable Ignorance Has made prisoners Of us all Ignoring soul hunger Begging at Defeat Stupid Catholics prey On children Bathing birds Birthing hips To wash your sins away An eternity of tears Cannot erase this Invisible, insatiable monster Of compassionless greed Terrified Tories Insist We rise strong That which doesn't kill…Read more Under Wait
Mal Nuit
The smell of the sheets gave her away. She's a stripper. (I love my sisters) Why are we in her bed? There's no where else to sleep. It could hardly be called a bed, though this was sadly, infuriatingly familiar. A mattress pad on the floor of some glorified closet. Had I learned nothing? Had…Read more Mal Nuit
