ive kept you running
my fingers holding your eyes wide
your walls are standing slick
if you could reach them
and the sound stays hidden
pounding in my chest da da da da da
strike though the hunger
swallow your hundred pills
i want the dread to creep
i want you to keep this pain
i want this memory in the mind
pins hit the ground da da da da da
crushed up and burning
it’s not a life anymore
the mangled body you once knew
let’s see this anguish
slick to your cheek da da da da da
drink up my suffering
let my fear drip off your lips
feel the coolness of my despair
sliding down your throat as i disappear
i want this ugliness
to be remembered
this burning body that i was
it’s not a life now da da da da da
crushed up and burning
it’s not a life anymore
the mangled body you once knew
crushed up and mangled
the burning body i once was

Misturned
02:40
|

|
sunk in the peat
a stone turned in blood
the tempering heat
and the cool of the mud
i am a stone
to return to earth
to slip out the marrow
to unknot the root
i am a stone misturned from the earth
a flower cut open
a tender bloom forms
a sword is reforged
i am a stone misturned from the earth
await my new body
to bathe in the night

Deer Hide Mine
03:32

settle, settle in this hide
a million, million miles
windows down, sun beats high
the will to compartmentalize
merilee
thin as me
doll sized
porcelain eyes
here was a paper trail that proved she was the life he had without me.
while I was somewhere else.
But it was the line between them, and not either end
that was my jealousy.
merilee
thin as me
doll sized
the way i ran across the world
to leave faceless bodies in the past
merilee
thin as me
a half-hearted death
That’s my sister. a creature of fire
(the way i ran across the world, to leave the bodies in the past)
she had deduced that life was war
(she had followed, followed men across the country same as me)
a great divorce, a clear high road
(thin as me with porcelain skin that made my sun-thick deer hide blush)

when the body is gone
08:27

as i turn and see this end careening
i don’t note the difference between
in a mote i’ve crossed over completely
splitting time to see if i believe
i can heard the crackling of the car seat
my eyes have popped, my sight becomes a memory
what’s the sound? an echo of black feeling?
it’s not a comfort, lord, i think it’s laughter
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
as i spin as if upon god’s spit
turning crackling splitting skin and fat
this was life but now it’s not a body
i watch as what i was turn into smoke
the sound is pounding, getting overwhelming
the sorrow burning, getting hard to hear
what is prayer if nothing ever happens?
what is love but shielding my dead ears
from the sound?
what was that?
i couldn’t hear you…
oh god, it’s laughter
ha ha ha ha h a ha ha ha aha hahaha ha ha
where do you go
when the body is gone?
