No Way To Say

Ocean winter water sloshes
around my gut. Words feel as
slime does just before vomit

These markers. Those crayons.
I've lost somewhere somehow

Cold dew drops on beer cans
cursed morning pangs
Donne dammed the sun but
let it all be over and done

These markers. Those crayons.
I've lost somewhere somehow

Distractions smell of erections
tastes of strawberry nipples,
dance like colliding flesh
and sound of prayer and damnation

These markers. Those crayons.
I've lost somewhere somehow

Days pile upon hours suffocating
minuets devouring each second
fucking every moment of breath

These markers. Those crayons.
I've lost somewhere somehow

Stalk naked through houses
tracing invisible faces upon
empty halls, licking their silance

These markers. Those crayons.
dried up and nowhere to
be found

Let it sustain you to shake the pillars and columns of his temple to the ground Dictate your commands and bask in the boundless power your existence brings t...

Once Again

we'll break the red wagons we rode, screaming down grassy hills, cheap plastic wheels rolling across urban streets Again We'll take spruce boughs and moss, hide in the woods, watching droplets of rain trickle down each others faces Again We'll race breakwater boulders, climb into holes and etch silly odes of love and hate that no one will read Again I'll regret ever wanting to grow older again and again

Living

heavy legs, empty mind an incandescent bulb burns quietly three books open at random hundreds of pages unread already written rain, ice slush, days overlapping, gray sheets wrapping every awakening a life that's been emulsified thick and bland let the routine of breath begin again
