IMMOVABLE OBJECTS
Common things
Carry wretched weights
And simple things become
Immovable objects x
Common things seem so helpless
If thought is ever thrown there way
But here they’re just immovable objects
Cold, and hard, and grey
Between us and our harm
Disgraced
Defrocked
Disarmed
Between us and our charms
Dismissed
Denuded and
Dismatled
Broken in and entered
Without tripping the alarms
There’s no jumping out the window
Without tripping the alarms
Boiled
Soft or hard
uncommon hearts
With wretched weights are hexed
And simple things become immovable objects
What cursed things are next
Such common hearts are vexed
But which one of you is next
But which one of you is next
But which one of you is next
Common things
Carry wretched weights
And simple things become
Immovable objects
Common things seem so helpless
If thought is ever thrown there way
But here they’re just immovable objects
Cold, and hard, and grey
Between us and our harm
Disgraced
Defrocked
Disarmed
Between us and our charms
Dismissed
Denuded and
Dismatled
Broken in and entered
Without tripping the alarms
There’s no jumping out the window
Without tripping the alarms
Such common hearts are vexed
But which one of you is next
But which one of you is next
But which one of you is next
Boiled
Soft or hard
uncommon hearts
With wretched weights are hexed
And simple things become immovable objects
Immovable objects
What cursed things are next
Such common hearts are vexed
But which one of you is next

SLOW CHOKE
Sweet smoke
Slow choke
Candy cigarettes
Sweet smoke
Slow choke
Powdered finger tips
This high will keep you alive
But you’ve got a tight chest
And shallow breath
Lung stains
Heart strains
Heart pain
Black tar
Hidden scars
Sweet dreams
Endless hours of harmless fun
It’s a slow death with a sour tongue
Never again
Just this once
Never again
Just one more

CANCER

CANCER
My body multiplies
And raises fists against me
My body opens up it’s wrists
And brings its weight to bare against me
Split and divide
No place to hide
My body is against me: accent up on “against” accent down on “me”
My body is against me
And cancer is the answer
To the question I’ve been asking
all my life
My blind carnivore
My innocent beast
Pearl of my lung
I am your feast
Proliferate
Disseminate
Divide
Proliferate
Disseminate
Divide
Conquer
Colonize
And never
Stem the tide

STITCHES
So you’ve fallen
No big deal
Wounds heal
And stitches fall out
Stitches fall out
What a waste
Full of lies
Scratch and claw
Chew and gnaw
Swallow whole
The pit of doubt
And spit it out
Spit it out
What’s rock bottom
When hell is south
Wounded soul
Fallen angel
Crass ideas
Of privileged masses
Thieves of joy
Takers
Wasters
What a waste
Feel the angst
Stomach turns
Wake and burn
Swallow whole
The pit of sorrow
Flesh will grow
Flesh will rot
Flesh will grow
And stitches fall out

CAPTIVE

Captive
There is mesh and silver sky
There is a prayer for endless roads
But comfort in captivity
I might just die if i were free
If there’s a way to die in here
I haven’t found it
But I am dead just the same
I am alive in little ways
The blacks and bays that tread so hard
Upon the night
But dark is just a word with no context
Light is just a ribbon sewn to the sky
But light’s a thing that holds no joy
There is no sex
We have no gender
Pleasure’s there
But only as a measure of our heads above the water
As a stale manipulation of a scream that has no order
CAPTIVE
Self is not a thing to cling to
Bell is not a ring to pray to
Love is just a desperate measure
To keep our heads above the water
Water’s just a measure of our naked horror
We feel the need to run so desperately
But there is such comfort in captivity
Nothing is free
There is so much comfort in captivity
Is it wings that set you free
Birds still sing in captivity
If mesh and silver sky just peel away
It’s only endless roads you see
Pull the bonds tight round you
Feel peace inside captivity CAPTIVITY

DIGITALIS HEART

Digitalis Heart
A bruise on evening’s cheek
As all color runs from all night
Man fashioned from horror’s rib
All sight is a gift of stolen light
A bruise on flush and prideful cheek
Chest in mud
Head in the creek
I am seen at a great distance
I am bright with laughing flames
My digitalis heart is broken and racing
To the end of pain
I am broken and racing
To the end of pain
I am seen at a great distance
I am bright with laughing flames
My digitalis heart is broken and racing
To the end of pain
I am broken and racing
To the end of pain
A bruise on flush and prideful cheek
Chest in mud
Head in the creek
My hand never wavered with my heart in the river
But i never favored the awful taste of water
just the river that runs from the sow as it’s slaughtered
As all color runs from all night
Man fashioned from horror’s rib
All sight is a gift of stolen light
I am seen at a great distance
I am bright with laughing flames
My digitalis heart is broken and racing
To the end of pain
Broken I am racing
To the end of pain
I am seen at a great distance
I am bright with laughing flames
I am racing to the end of pain
A bruise on flush and prideful cheek
Chest in mud
Head in the creek
My hand never wavered with my heart in the river
But i never favored the taste of water
My digitalis heart is broken and racing
I am broke and racing
to the end of pain

DROWNING

DROWNING
The iron gates are closing
Am I safe, secure
I’ve lost my place
Slowed my pace
Am I drowning
Stuck under the lion’s weight
And then your words
Then children’s daggers
And then your words engage
Am I safe or am I drowning
No, you won’t let me go
You won’t let me go
I’m not drowning
You pull me up
But I want to go
I need to go
Am I drowning
No
