warm light
shimmers between
the surface
stillness
life in
life out
sunlight
beautiful sunlight
glorious sentience
yet the distance is infinite
but, your will
is unbreakable
so remain;
in the sun
for as long as you can

brutal bungee

|
you lay right beside me
conversation between us is sideways
i stare out the window into blind day
naked colour setting in to blind hate
pulled apart
and giving in, his lines fade
brutal bungee cord round your neck
i watch your life drain
and essentially suffocate
i saw the life give
over the last several months, i watched you cave in
checkered container grows claustrophobic
object permanence has been broken
i watch you die wrong
ballad turns hell song
symphony starts to break down
and it folds any day now
hysterical misery
was it ever a symphony
optical structure breaks and
you’re gone before i can blink
am i the song or the dancer
mouths filled up with plaster
and nothing comes after
you’re taped to tv,
that plays over inside me
in through my inputs and out through the tv
in through my inputs and out through my body
in through my inputs, out through my patterns
i watch your pixels sink into the lacquer
a digital memory so you always remember
our infinite sadness, the infinite tightrope
the infinite sickness, and bliss in your presence
i watch you die wrong
ballad turns hell song
symphony starts to break down
and it folds any day now
hysterical misery
was it ever a symphony
optical structure breaks and
you’re gone before i can blink
am i the song or the dancer
my mouth’s filled up with plaster
and nothing comes after
you lay right beside me
conversation between us is sideways
i stare out the window into blind day
naked colour setting into blind hate
pulled apart
and giving in, his lines fade
brutal bungee cord round your neck

oscillate
up and down again
out of sync
out of reach
out of breath
rubber band again
rubber band again
rubber bungee band
still wrapped around your neck
oscillate
up and down again
out of sync
out of reach
out of breath

corrode
03:40

each day, it’s worse than the last
i can’t see past tomorrow
bone pressure you start to crack
and wind up all demolished
ribs poking out of my skin
m m m m my body
is caving in
when did i get so thin?
this plastic body is useless
my body is useless
and your body is useless
and you’re not even human
bababababababa
tell me “i don’t see what you mean”,
im hanging on to anything you say
to keep myself breathing
my only concern is what i want and what im feeling
so step the fuck off, get the fuck off
im corrosive
(corrode)
so tell me or you’ll see what i mean,
im hanging on to anything you say
to keep you from breathing
my utmost concern is to take until you’re valueless
human material mess
corrode from the inside out,
feel your tendons stretch
each day, it’s worse than the last
i can’t see past tomorrow
bone pressure you start to crack
and wind up all demolished
ribs poking out of my skin
m m m m my body
is caving in
when did i get so thin?
each day, it’s worse than the last
i can’t see past tomorrow
bones fracture and they start to crack
and wind up fucking hollow
ribs poking out of my skin
m m m m my body
is caving in
when did i get so thin?

the tent breathes in
like the lungs of a fish
pushing in.
but oh, how it makes
you
feel alive
the guilt of it all
how sweet is the taste?
when it feels like
nothing will ever change.
but oh, how it makes
you
feel alive

passing
01:01
|

|
you catch a glimmer
on the car passing by
on bendy shiny glass
your eyes
cast their reflection
on the opposite side of the street
and it lasts only a moment
but you look each other in the eyes
then continue passing by
in another life

somersault Richmond, British Columbia
i am a carpenter.
i am a lover.
i am a cowboy.
i am a girl.
i am a hopeful romantic.
i am a curator.
i am a shield.
i am a dancer.
i am a prancer.
i am a smooth operator.
