Before I Sputter Out (Eels fix)


While we're being handled,
spun on our chairs
with fancy words whirling 'round,
better strap yourself in.
It's a nauseous ride, if
you're going to get to the other side.

a date that is twice divisible by itself. what I call an 'inanity', or one of my inanities.

Lumped In:

Awakenings

I cut my heart out and hand it toward them.
Stupid boy.
Put it back in.
We only need your blood.
The eels slither, smile,
caress my flesh, soundless,
suck, suck. Leaches.
I’m supposed to enjoy this.
We like your taste.
We’d like more.
I’m learning this is my giving,
wither and pale,
grow scales defenseless
against the swarm.

Decompressing thoughts to phone on road trip today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

about me, mostly

one day
i will knock upon your door
where you reside
to say hi
looking for answers
to complete one mission in life
a journey for answers
and why
i had to come all this way
to understand
me
and you
