Literature Text

Kissing my sternum,
my torso becomes
like neon lights,
warmth vibrates
and my spine aligns
perfectly with the
sun that comes up
just above your
tasseled hair.

Just one more breath
above my collar bone
and maybe I'll part
my lips as they
tremble to the
harmonies your
fingers make against them.

Don't stop singing with me.

Perhaps you should
align yourself to
the moon with me tonight
and your eyes can match
the twinkles in the sky.

beautiful

the lilacs are out. you look beautiful barefoot, and you are beautiful sweating out a beat. opening like the lilacs, baring your teeth and forcing out pieces of pure soul. you move like a willow, breathe into my neck in a way that no metaphor could describe. hot and sweaty and lying against me, you are your beautiful fury and my own hidden rage leaping out and holding our bodies together. your muscles melt into me. our fingers are touching and there is a heartbeat between them. i do not know whose it is and it just about breaks my heart (but perfectly so) i feel your blood pounding. your hips dig into me i hope it bruises

Beautiful Skeleton

When I grow up, I'm going to plant Dandelion seeds in front of my house. I know they're weeds; I don't care. I'm tired of the beautiful. Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, Who's the thinnest fairest of them all? She can count her ribs, she's almost dead And yet she's still fat inside her head. Did you know there's enough spray-tan in America to Paint the snow in Alaska a mile deep? Did you know that the lip-stick in California alone Could cover the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the word 'ugly'- twice? I'm sick of saying 'beautiful' And 'ugly' is the harshest four-letter word I know. If I hear 'starved' one more time, I'm going to throw

1. "i'm sorry i don't want to come over today." the clock reads 4pm and i roll over in my bed again. 2. "i forgot it was your birthday." i'd forgotten my own too. 3.

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Court Ships

Lip split, quick wit, lyric spit. Shoulder slouch, safe slump slide back, and the cel-shade mind fuck chest punch of every word that claws its way up that coffee drenched throat, every cluttered boxcar train wreck scratched out onto cheap pulp paper. That fiercely beautiful brain forced into frantic fist spasms, and the brittle, brutal art created by having a pen between your fingers instead of a knife or a needle or nothing at all. Heart crush possibilities, dodged bullets kept like battle trophies, wounds I'd be honored to wash the dirt from. Just a baby as the wolf runs, but dead and dust as the crow flies,

Borderline erotic? I say it's cryptic enough to not be in the category.

I'll be honest...I'm not confident about this one even though I feel connected to it...if that makes sense? Ugh self conscious.
