no more restless
nights stuck out on the grass
with my mind floating
and skipping through
the past
the simple feeling
of being by your side
grounds me and makes me
glad that i’m still alive
no more confusion
and no more angry
words
just conversations
that i cut in to thirds
but i
know you fear the
passing time
and what happens when we‘re no longer
intertwined
but time
will never be
on our side
at least for the rest of our
mortal lives
so flip a page and
tell me what makes it so
that you’ve kept going
beyond the overgrowth
and how you stand it
oh that i’ll never know
or how you’re able
to feel the ebb and flow
so play me that song
you’ve talked about for weeks
describe the feeling
of being young and free
but i
know you fear the
passing time
and what happens when we‘re no longer
intertwined
but time
will never be
on our side
at least for the rest of our
mortal lives
and now i sit here
listening to you tell
me how in your mind
i’ve found a place
to dwell
and i know that soon
time will relinquish its
chokehold and grant us
another lovely kiss
but i’m
impatient with the
ambling time
and waiting till once again we’re
intertwined
and time
will never be
on our side
at least for the rest of our
mortal lives

silence followed me into a dream
it told me that i’d never heard
you scream until you
told me what you could about my fate
i left to try to stop it
but it’s all too late and
you and i are stuck forevermore
like the moon reflects the sun like
money clings to war
but
saturn ate his children out of fear
a feeling you know well because it’s
settled here so
cut down like a puppet in his wake
i laid there till you found me
just before daybreak the
emperor just asked me how i knew
i told him i could feel it as the circle grew
and westward went the simpleton i’m sure
but soon enough you’ll find him
knocking at your door
sit next to me as the polluted water
laps at our ankles then breaks in our hands
flora and fauna alike
are dissolving
there’s no room for anyone else
in this land
i wish that you could think of me as strong
you told me not to worry but now you’re long gone so
what the hell did you know that i don’t
every single word you said just
clogs my throat
fame and fortune danced before your face
until they lead you to your final resting place
a sound around the bend i know so well
your voice told me where your spirit went
to dwell

wait
as the leaves change
and you wash ‘way
all the sins of summertime
lightning and thunder
break the stillness
as rain cuts through the sky
howls
as you pass through
gaia clings to
all the vestiges of time
painting your nails black
so that your dad
has reason to criticize
seasons pass me by
but never stop
remembering your birthday when i
leapt off your roof
top
i’ve missed you every single
night and day
lost and found a piece of you while
you were away
piercing your own ear
in the bathroom
with just a needle and a match
move
to the country
with the horses
and your roof yellow and thatched
glitter and blue tape
form a landscape
framing both our minds
yours
in a halo
drenched in day-glo
flaming in the sky
i’m still not really sure
what i should do
wait for you to write to me or
reach out to you
i don’t want to fuck it up again
i’ve waited months to speak to you my
dear old friend

tap water

im letting my teeth get crooked again
and swatting the bugs that land and try to break my skin
you lost your appendix taking a bath
mine’s still festering and letting decades pass
you call me to tell me that my hair grew
you call me to tell me that my lips are turning blue
new air blisters in my lungs
so i let myself get almost numb
closing
off my new mind
from what
i knew 5 years ago
the wave of heat burns blue on your face
And as the plastic food begins to lose its taste
a bird steals twine before taking off
i dreamed of the three of us just rolling down the block
the wind blows us across the sea
but i know soon enough we’ll be
ambling
through the still night
hot air
settles on my bare skin
im leaving my patchwork thoughts on the page
the sky grows brighter now with every passing day
drinking from hoses loses its charm
but tap water still wears away scars
