it’s a soft curse,
it’s plaguing me & i’m only light
sentient body of polymer
all this work leaves a rumbly, in my tumbly
& daddy,
i’m roped, tied, & branded to every life
all it takes is a cordial word
false look in my direction
& i’m locked in
& i’m lurking, through a crowded room where i know you’ve been
all i’ve got is this faded grin
a warm beer in my hands
ILY, forever as i dim
psy yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
i’m surely sewn to your side
there ain’t nothing, but blood
between you and i
— right?
& as i turn
in a vacuum high above the earth
all thats worth it, in front of me
transmissions i’m receiving, are pleasing
but i’m leaving
this body behind on a silver shell
all this hell that’s inside of me
ease for this visceral mind
never once did i meet with your eyes
psy yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
i’m surely sewn to your side
there ain’t nothing, but blood
between you and i
— right?
it’s a raised hearse
& i’m hanging off of the driver’s side,
pitchfork primed as i come for you
yeah, ‘cause you’re all mine
let no other love pass through your mind
psy yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi
i’m surely sewn to your side
there ain’t nothing, but blood
between you and i
— right?
i am achy
& yearning
& i swear i’m fun at parties

bitter forever (2013)

whispers in velvet, the cat calls with her eyes
and what the dead find
when they cross over my body just like
on a tangent, not separate in phenotype
look to me now
in my spookiest hour and i'm en route
salt rings round my mind just to keep you out
judy in white
give it up when i sashay to your side
got grip on your hip but your distant smile
says you're here but you don't
feel me
am i yours to love
am i getting up there
getting up there with my lies
and if I could just breathe
if I could be sure of you
when lust it surrounds me
a blood dream slipping through
lady in velvet allure me with your spell
what is my hell?
it's a love song that never stops skipping
with you on the other side waving
i’m alone and i’m rolling a donut
let the brick dust
fall around me a veil that i use to
shroud the voodoo i've seen that runs through you
she lights the way
give it up when i'm dreaming up your grave
got your hand in my hand but your empty gaze
says you're here but you don't
feel me
am i yours to love
or am i getting out there
too far out there with my stories
yeah but i feel mean
‘cause i'm suckin’ egg from my face
bitter forever my mantra from that day
she remembered my name

just hold it in
don’t breathe wild
lo, when i turn to my side &
alone in bed, eyes roll back
real bad, i
don’t wanna get up
i’m real tired—i need to get up
forces telling me to never retire
& it’s one beat
2 bowls
tap card
i shuffle
still dark, & the moon’s full
so i reel it in
in the still light
oh, to be gone & so quiet seems
far away, but it’s nice to have plans,
real friends,
but i hear, them bells
now i’m in service hell
it’s not retail
it’s a simple riddle!
when you’re not near
i’m miserable
empty til i’m full
then wait, i feel... no pain
i let it wash away like rain
it’s amazing
i feel calm
i’m right in my place
you’re calling me baby

just maybe i’m overthinking
wouldn’t be first, i’m certainly worse off
i’m playin’ it so so so soft
like driving myself fucking crazy
spending my whole life, fucking off online
blank faces blur in a timeline,
i don’t even wanna know a fucking timeline
yeah, i wanna be dead so badly
gotta bad case, i’m seeing her face, i’m
too sick it’s so frustrating
i wanna be brave to say it
i’m begging myself to fake it
i’m aching, i’m bending myself
to break, i’m ready to say it
true friends are willing to take it
start treating my grief as knots, i’m tuggin’ at threads
’til something unlocks, right?
can’t hardly know what it means, like
i’m going out for another coffee
taking my ghost straight out of this body
this host ain’t doing it for me
this daily ritual mourning
so this morning, we’re gonna find purpose
what i’ve been called to, call it soft service
catharsis dressed like a furnace
sounds great! no need to fucking complicate it!
i wanna be brave to say it
i’m begging myself to fake it
i’m nervous, i’m running my mouth
today, don’t care what i’m saying
i’m itching to throw my weight in
stay soft, i wanna stay softer

let’s count the reasons that went wrong
oh no, is this a trap?
well i’m hard up for this,
but i’m scared
i wipe the sleep out from my eye
& i want, to put it back
what i want, it’s for me,
& i’m tired,
so i’ll go first
& well, honestly i can’t remember last time
i met sunshine with my face
& the earth will turn,
but the guarantee, it thins the more we travel
i could dream the pain away,
but will the thought forever stay
*
then an answer, in my head
strike the vision, from my head
i don’t want it, they don’t want it, to be said
*
i conceived it with my mind
i can close my eyes, and still feel it there
i don’t know why i can’t go
it’s so strange-like
there’s an angel, in the sky
when it speaks it’s word,
we won’t recognize
ball my fists up,
to my eye
and i cry
and i cry, yeah
but, i like it, i like it
i like it, i
i like it, i like it
i seek comfort in the like
i feel comfort like

i want to be
poised in beauty
arching
still dreamy to me
blistered and bloody
in rental skates
power within me
glamour emitting
i am ghostly
tropical rain
lonely eyed, smoking
dual side mirror
take me to where
crane's sail, through neon
i peer
adonis in sequin
the air around me gleaming
i am haunting
i want to be
one who embodies
the astral waxings
kindred to me
spirits entwining
in retrograde
angst as my master
novice wave caster
i go faster

a dust cloud forming
on a slow axis, turning
in a supernova morning
i’m a deep sleepin’ doggy
eyes up at the ceiling
light beams on yr bathroom sink
and yr whistlin’ in the mirror
yr a siren singer
moonlit baby floating under the Davies
fallen twice for you maybe
on that row boat, rocking
i’m yr hot mouth breather
cleo’s around
champagne in my glass
& i’m down

i don’t know
what I’m looking at
i've got feelings for hats
i've got dealings
below going bad
but i felt great today
i've got minutes & the cigarettes
put me on my way
it’s emb r before we go
i catch your glow
but we got plans
to see our friends
lose our common sense
spend our rent
i didn’t know
i needed to
but i felt shy
as any guy
wasn’t looking to confide
go outside
i couldn’t find
a reason to
& i fell in it
ill admit it
i was running out of juice
you pulled me through
the yucky parts
and in the light
i squint my eyes
& recognize
the house up on the right
i’m feeling fine
i wanna see a pretty view
we walked in
to find our friends
glowing too 💕
