Raindrops sink into my socks
Soaking bottoms to the tops
Seeping through the numerous holes
In my shoes that lend the soles
To being stained in darker hues
Than post-storm, pre-storm shoe soles do.

Damsel in Distress (lyrics)

[hook] Get up on my level No one ever climbs the fucking tower as always, I pull myself up get up on my level I just want someone else to work as hard as I do will it ever be enough? No one listens to the princess in the tower crying "help" every day I'm forced to fight the dragon by myself No one climbs my hair, can't reach my level, never strong enough I glare, watch from the window, and (as always) pull myself up I don't want to be the strong one I just want to rest but I can never do that I'm a damsel in distress I know I can't relax or stop my hypervigilance if I take a break I'll never wake up from unconsciousness Why can't life just be easy? I'm waiting to be rescued, freed from this Why can't I meet prince charming? or someone who will lift this weight off of my chest? [hook] I'm seen as weak for believing in fantasies do you know how strong I need to be to live like this? why can't I dream of a remedy a fairytale where things are better than this? Where things get

scattered

We leave pieces of ourselves in the corners Of bookshelves, stuck between the pages And in the hand painted wooden bowl Collecting dust and spare change. My fingers grazed a fragment When I saw a photograph of you today And my lungs caught on the memory Of the first words you said to me Lingering like a ghost breath In the soft curve of my earlobe. (“Hi, mind if I ask you Some questions?”) I hid inside the rain to drown out The sound. The wet grass stuck to my toes And the droplets rolled down Over the shirt that my mom told me Makes me look like I’ve got a chip on my shoulder. (She thought her rebel was a princess Bu

Exult

Quick frissons of joy, like a harpist on the planck scale. The sun is out. All has tunneled into green. I am an animal, after all, and so like the lambs in my mother’s field I want to kick up my heels. Spring wilds through me—-my marrow puts forth flowers. Gold and springwater. A little easy dopamine, honey-suckle sweet, and look, God’s got nothing on me.

Let Me Speak

Let me put in my humble peice to the greater conversance. Despite your talking over me I will speak in defiance. This is my introduction This is simply me No matter what comes later I know who I will be. Even if I whisper I know what I am saying I will not bend, nor break I am standing and staying. If you do not hear I will still speak and you may think you've found me You must still seek

Here

I witness arrivals arriving, as departures take their leave, here too brief to celebrate, gone too soon to grieve, traveling to ancient Egypt, of scorching golden sand, so that 'thorns come with roses', is a quote I understand, journeying to tropical jungles, where wild greens thrive, Inspiring to live this life, Truly acting alive, voyaging to arctic icebergs, that only show their shore, much alike a body, with a soul of so much more, jet leg is slightly skeptical, of a clocks display of time, is it AM or is it PM, when it points to number nine? nevertheless- of all these places, some far and some near, somehow I don't want anywhere, more than I want here.

This Is For Elderly Or Matured Couples

This is for those older couples whom haters call "old queers": lovers, who had been boyfriends first, and had endured the bad weather, or storms, of prejudices, hatreds, snide remarks and brutal jeers; but since their first love in barefoot adolescence, they have stayed together.

Made-Up Transgressions

Eaten churches Soul-altering fetishism Human meat filling clear pipes Artistic cultists corrupting the prime species False and catastrophic accusations You press the splinters of the suffering and creative deeper into Their flesh to use their screams for music and Their blood for shitty tattoos So, take those empty urns out of the closet and donate them to The minorities you want to fucking slaughter Pluck the hypocrisy from dicks and pussies The world you want is boring as hell Get used to living near rainbows, gothic nightclubs, And film festivals that feature directors from other countries Embracing diversity will make life so much more enjoyable Those stories are cutting your kids But if that happens, that means you Have a project to work on Great for you, but terrible for them

interior design for broken homes

i. here in isolation, we begin the fallout. everything around us makes us pull the knives out. once i turned to you when all the world was making chaos sounds; now we run away and run our ships aground, entire days lost. what cost can be discerned of loss and lives set fire? churn my stomach into wreckage, lover. what will we have learned? ii. as the night evades, we are tyrants in our ruling places. color me so purple that the worries fall up into space. ardor isn't earned, it is the currency of loneliness. i'm spent. iii. i've spent the last three days in solitude, a quiet i can't place now that it's over; what a melody is overbearing noise! no choice stings quite like you, and no regret is louder than the truth. up on the roof, the rain gives all of us illusions: we are not what we believe to be revealed. iv. if i had to explain it— and someday i worry i will— i would first look for paper, pen, mercy. v. the blueprint of a heart is volatile; everyone knows but no one

Prayer

the last time I was in a chapel I got a nosebleed at the start of when peace like a river I don’t get nosebleeds I took it as a sign I retreat inside my skin not because it’s safer but because I know this temple was built to withstand the burning spirit that inhabits it these windows shatterproof these walls flame resistant at home I make my own stained-glass busted mirror —pools of silver crimson-dipped fractals of my busted fist repeated my mother always said I had too much fire in me I am a fire sign after all what did she expect I contain it within myself no, I try when I open my mouth embers erupt I catch the

Rats

I’m sat here in this heat, little one, trying to find the poison. It is the thread between me and you? The thick blood in our veins, slowly killing us even as it keeps us alive? When the time comes, if I can will I? You will not thank me, little one, you do not have to. To give one’s life is one thing, reputation and honour another. Can I do the right thing in the dark, when no one will see? Or am I no better than the rest? I keep asking why this is us, little one, or if this is us at all. In the 70s the rats escaped the cage only to lock us in it.

dreamer

by all the gods, is she lovely— the sweetest lullaby i have ever heard. and her fingertips soothe this raging nightmare which roars inside, a decaying dragon that one too many knights have slain. if i could worship at her feet i would. alas, her temple is guarded by pale clouds and a witch's moonlight; only ravens may find their way into her tower and break her chains with a featherweight kiss. i do not feel her embrace every time the darkness whispers. no, it is only when the ice in my veins burns hotter than the sun and my voice is lost in the supernova that hides itself behind a black hole. it is only then that she is there,

You are More.

You are more than a number, statistic or fraction, You are more than a stranger’s glance or reaction. You are more than a puzzle piece or a missing link, You are more than what the world may think. You are more than a stigma or sign which you're labeled, You are more than “special”, diseased, different, disabled. You are more than a whisper, you are more than a name, You are more than rejection, you are more than others' blame. You are more than vibrations that torture your ears, You are more than disorder that drives you to tears. You are more than emotion you can't read or display, You are more than the words you’

Beautiful Disaster

You came to me- a sinner with wild eyes and saw me as an angel. I had flowers in my hair, you had blood on your hands. You saw my love as a halo circling my flyaway hair and thought my forgiveness to be wings that could lift my frail body into the air. But I got down next to you on hands and knees and showed you the slits in my soul, the imperfections marring my body. Yet you still looked at me with wonder in your eyes saying my heart was still more pure than a human's would be. And slipping my small hands in between yours blood slid between them, staining my hands along with yours and I promised you I'd save you if you saved me, too. A
