Eyes Alert

So much to see

So many people to be

Mustard Moon

a frame

fearless and fragile

with skin that skates

until it settles

into a creamy repose

houses little lungs

which

suck

the dust of dusk

under the mustard moon

You Make Me

those gobs

of greenish muck

that slide off your tongue

in petty,

privileged,

lumps,

make me yearn for

the sight of humiliation and

soupy mutilation

So Tired

I’m so tired

of spitting up pinkish chuckles

and periwinkle grins

for the sake of polite

conversation and

I am so tired of

those blunted, whispering pains

just above my belly button-

where acid has swallowed my

parties

and my

friends

and my

life -as it was-

And I’m so tired

of leaving this room and walking out

into a world where there is too much sunlight

because Iamsotired and

I just want

to

rest.

Little Girls Lost

She is

glitter-coral nail polish

chipping

like the white on an aging picket fence–

no more lavender ribbons

or dainty satin shoes

to protect

her virgin skin

from the dirt

of the earth.

Just the

picked

and peeled remains

of

what used to be

brand

new

Letters from Limbo

I don’t know

if I am looking in

or looking out

of

that window in the middle of the sunset

but sometimes

my ears melt

into my teeth

and I am content

to be a thing

swimming

inandout

of

Oblivion
