Vertigo #2
With each panic attack,
I disassemble,
I break apart,
like glass slivers,
I am falling all around
There is a crowded bus ride ahead,
an elevator door closing behind,
5 o’clock traffic and all it’s stillness
waiting
The train with it’s voice letting me know that once again,
“the doors are now closing”
I find you there, ...

Vertigo #1
I find myself gasping for breathe
dizzy and pushing at nothing
as hard as I can
Each day
I am breathing deeply
anxiety attack
after anxiety attack
I have let you take over my days and nights for far too long
My past has once again backed me into a corner

There seems no room for darkness

Post Card Perfect
It was New Years Eve
when you dipped me.
You leaned in for a kiss.
I should have known then that eventually you'd drop me.
And
the snow fell all around
a sailor and a nurse.
After the war had ended,
she stopped bandaging his wounds,
he bellied up to a bar
&
the photographed just faded away.

Just so You Know
The day you left,
it rained for three fucking days
and man,
you still wouldn't wash away.
So I prayed out loud to the girls
with more grass
than that green grass
that we used to make love in.
I waited there sea sick,
in sea of emerald green
swaying back and forth
all around me.
Just then, the air p...

Meridian Lines
I have been opening the meridian lines
Gathering knowledge
Stretching the lines of communication like the marks on my hips
Gaining greater understanding,
of who the hell I may actually be
I am collecting all the pieces of myself
Bits from here and there
I am putting them back together again
with tiny much needed kisses...

I am an underwater creature
much faster than yourself
I am smoothed out
by the waves
your words a thousand dull lead sinkers around my neck
I can not hear you here
Here, I belong to no one,
not even myself
In fact, I do not exist
There is tranquility in nothingness,
no need for oxygen
or cigarettes
Clear

Loud, brash, sweet thing
Bring me some water to wet my whistle
For you
Love only lasts ten minutes at a time
Only this time
The time is mine
So go on over
Lay it down
Cause all your cards ain't showin
And my hands are full
I'll drop this heavy load
When words spill soft and free
Meaning what they shoul...

Be my sugar
My revolution
Bring me fruit in the dead of winter
as tears roll from your face.
Be sweet rebellion on hot summer nights.
Burn messeges onto thick leaves
and press them hard against my bedroom window.
Stand naked under the naked moon
Be raw
Be real

The angels cum for money
The money comes from sex
The sex is last nights million dollar needle
Baby's bruised arm can't bend to stop the nose bleeds
Or fix the drippy faucet
Or fix
Or fix enough
to fix the holes in the walls
Or stop this broken shopping cart ride home.

Pretty girl paints colors raw
with whole body
covered in wet white chalk
stinging the canvas with her strokes
as she bends in this hot light
On knees
you swish color up
lighting the room
song orange
in soft swift movements
canary yellow floats freely and deep red

A letter to all the good night
drive by boys
with their last forever kisses
that say...........
'' every little things gonna be alright"
I sit fat,

Movement growing steadily within me

building in my body
My belly swollen
My tits taut

Crystals cover the ground
They sky is covered in clouds
They say that white is the color of absence
Just like the caterpillars in the spring,
eating all the pretty leaves,
you in a swift second
blow in
stealing all the color from the sky.

Just so you know, I've secretly been watching your stories.
I wait till your asleep,
fully asleep,
It is then that my research begins.
Late at night with a pair of head phones and a flickering TV

The California warmth has left my bones.
Now,
old memories hang as heavy as these winter clouds,
Again,
I am consumed by thoughts of you.
Familiar smells,
bring visions of your apocalyptic smile.
And I remember why I left.
My bones feel that familiar ache
as does my heart.
Call me Phinnius, your trusted friend

Fireflies in Glass Jars
I wonder about you sometimes,
So…. I have to keep my distance
I don’t always return the phone calls
Or get in touch the way I use to
You see,
Just like fucking strange men
Or sleeping in abandon cars
You my friend,
are not good for me.
You bring me back to who I used to be
