All I seem to do is hanging on
On - and on -
On and on
What if I fall

Would you look at me
And offer me a hand

Or condemn me
And slap me offhand

I see you walk away

My breath stops
The sun drops

Here comes the darkness

My mind swallowed
Eyes open
Why can I not breathe
There's something
Left unsaid
Jaw open

I today, dare to insist
that I have never lied.
except for that once
when I said I love
you and your devoted presence.

I today, dare to confess
that I have never lied.

I
don't
want
to
say
good
bye
to
the
night

Don't
let
me
fall
asleep

Don't
let
me
fall

Don't
let
me

Don't
let

Don't

. . . . . . .

He says he loves me
Says I, he don't know what that mean
Says I, he love his pee-pee
More so now as finished his 'nother glass of gin.

He wants to help me
Says I, he don't know what me is

She tore open her chest
Ate her heart
And galloped out crying

He turned off the tv
Washed his feet
And fell asleep soundly

He doesn’t want me leave
With his hairy tentacles
He chokes my flesh

Clutching me, my octopus prince
Leaps into the sea
Dark and eternal

Doesn’t matter if I’m gillless

Biting air blows from the North,
With its fists so adamant and serrated
Biff, biff, biff it lands me thrice

My chestnut sorrel skin cracked

Lord knows I'm heartless
Brain is all I feed and rear
Airy night is merciless
Blowing its breeze through my nostrils
Up the nasal conchas, towards my mad brain
It's unwelcoming air, defiled by

I put on
A $400 hideousness
For you
Miss jolly Christmas menace,
My oblong mirror before me
Confesses your screaming holiday consumerism
Shames my ostentacious visage

I envision

My silence
Agitates your guts
Your palms sweaty
The world upside down,
Heart burns follow
Sodden brown eyes,
3 legged moons in casts
Arid branches whip headless souls

Your arrogance
Pierces the sky
Through Its chest
Across the heart
Cuts open its back
Pour, the blood rain
Your show is done
Now you watch,
The world drowned in
The crimson rain

I imagine,
Tomorrow
A matchet
Fall from heaven,
Slit me
In half,
You watch
Me,
The poppy pod
Pop open
Its
Bloom,

Daunting

In front of me, my lover's face
Bearded and distressed, his arid lips dance
Vertical, horizontal, vertical and horizontal
Amorphous,
Vertical, horizontal, vertical, horizontal

Loving you
Is like
Getting eaten by a python
As the serpent's warm mouth takes its greedy grip of my head
Its venomous fangs drill through my skull
