-
drowning in swirls of mushrooms
and pot smoke
-
like my lipgloss,
staining cigarette filters and..
-
with the tar in your lungs
planted safely on my lips
-
Venus with its tangled rings
black holes... deep pockets of space
-
tangling myself in your veins like a love-disease-baby)
and cutting you open with plastic stars and fake diamonds
-
like a map, all yellow skin
lined with blue and purple for the ways into your body
-
(live fast, die pretty)
catching hairdye and silhouettes painted by soft candlelight
-
while I c - o - l - l - i - d - e
with the bruises left on your jagged hipbones
-
-
karma was reaving the velocity of hips skipping over one another's
-
-
i wanted
my world to melt.
-
-
I was squeezing the universe into the confines of a Polaroid / of you, you trying to clean up the galaxies / you said you saw floating in each iris but flowers / dripped ink onto chessboard
-
[they won't find me] / / / / this town is so SMALL; / i feel like alice eating mushrooms in wonderland. / outgrowing the past / and some days, / all i do is watch the future come creeping towards me / in
-
we were making [breaking] galaxies in our f.i.n.g.e.r.t.i.p.s.
-
we bred through strawberry shortcake
lip-locking embraces
-
--forgotten in the mind {eyes} of god he was swallowing back "i love you"s
-
(paint me picasso starshine baby)
and in between hopes and heartbeats
-
so break me romantic baby
china dolls in shards with which I tear my skin
-
if it makes you feel better
(dear diary, today i watched my baby break)
-
I can't live knowing I won't be able to
wear your hands around my wrists,
-
somewhere in between the diamonds in your eyes
and the scisscors of your hips
-
that's all i have to say, even if i needed to say more
you wouldn't hear me, you never do.
-
we woke into oblivion, letting the ground swallow us both
(it folded over us, like the curling waves of the moonlit sea)
-
i wondered what was wrong with me and how i could never find
perfection in perfection
-
i felt tempted by the insinuations
written on the edge of your jagged masochistic tongue.
-
it was all about the harajuku way your lips carressed my thighs
and i caught the stars
-
getting hungry, but you just laughed and kissed me head-over-heels
spewing amaryllis lovelyrics from your mouth
-
i'm learning how everything dies, and it makes no sense,
but here i am. holding my rib cage and fighting tears.
-
the steel skeletons that supported the skyscraper of every
four-letter word you used in reference to me
-
Angel, your shaman blue eyes break the horizon
into the bones and stars and shapes we both love, you got it from me
-
eye break-- soundless
mouths tremble,
