In Sadding Around

Sleeping off the last five years takes another five. Recovery in lieu of being. here right now. When I throw myself at your feet, you know it's to be walked.

Imaginary War

Underwater screams,. he is so far gone.. Drowned out by the unseen powers in unseen ways.. Fists clenched to fight,. It's a fearless wall.. Takes your soul and grinds it all..

Meathook

I went into the butchers. I said wanted wanted wanted some.... Meat. Pass me some of that steak over there. It looks so.... Sweet. . I lost my heart to a meathook!.

I Love You So Much It's Killing Us Both

A week inside, I think I'm starting to show. I told myself to keep myself in line. Should we get married or just go on killing each other?. I don't think I hate you enough to commit you to me.

Housesitter

I lost all my thoughts of angels in an aspirin billboard. . Walking down 16th street, hit the cross street Catatonia. I wish I had the strength to do your drugs, it must take strength.

Ls/mft

Narrowing his eyes,. God only knew what she'd try.. Obsessed with drawing lines,. What's wrong with saying, "This is mine?". He says her pain subsides..

Gutless

Swallow your pride.. But take it slow.. What's left inside without your words. You might just choke on it.. And you wouldn't want to do a thing like that..

Gemini

Says he will. Meaning he might. Takes his pills. Doesn't swallow. Medicate double rations. Passes out. Candlelight. . Appetite. Nausea. Paralyzes him.

Low

Dusk is dawn is day. Where did it go?. I've been laughing. Fast and slow. . Moving in a still frame. Howling at the moon. Morning found me laughing. Up and down, down.

Livid

She walks forward over, over and backward. Forward over and over and backward. This meeting takes on a life of its own and my position is. . Thoughtless and it goes.

Friends Back East

Welcome to your new home. Here's your bed. You'll sleep alone. Getting everything you wanted and some. Here's the kitchen. Cook alone. Look at the water boil. At the table sit and stare. Soup with bread with so much to care for....

Linkwork

a finishing blow for a company man. while sleeping tight passed hand to hand. inbound until you're canned. then hidebound fact slips like sand. a finishing blow for the company man.

Friendly Fire

Jackpot Plus!

Sweet Dempsey waiting on a number,. Cups his sweating hand around dice and blows,. Breathes his reeking trust on tumbling bones,. In love with the air around a hundred thousand bad throws..

For Esme

Seems the competition. Is sweet like a slap in the face. This is a 3-legged race. It was your meanness. That told us you might have faith. Your spine (?) keeps getting in the way.

It's Expected I'm Gone

I don't want to hurt. See, my position was here. I mean, as it was, I was. . So this led to the downfall of man. I can make seconds feel hours. . I make certain.

First Step

Did you ever have one of those days. This is a day like any other day. You are free to wake up and shave. Soapy hands fumbling on porcelain. Hot, good coffee and a good, good book.

Fireman

Dreamed I was a fireman. I just smoked and watched. you burn. Dreamed I was an astronaut. I shot you down. like a juggernaut. Dreamed we were still going out..

Iodine

I don't want to talk. I roll my red eyes back. Closed and latched. Still you watch. . Sweep from left to right. Frame six hundred nine. It never lies.

Fine Day

If I believed everything that you said,. Then I'd never go outside.. And if you completely showed yourself to me,. Then I'd never go outside.. Fine day if you're not me..
