Neon (2015)

beneath shorting starlight,we’ve created our own language from the cadence of shattered hopes and squandered dreams. and I just want to touch you,but when was the last time you existedfingers curled in my hairbreath            less and wild?

My Desires (2013)

I want so badly—For some random contact in the night,To be the thing that drives me forward. But that isn’t fair to you.I should be the reason I go on,Not you, That’s too much pressure on you,Beautiful wonderful you. I’m just tired of doing this shit alone,Of dealing with this shit alone.

Narcissus (2014)

I wrote you a novel once,though, I haven’t read it. ‘n I chant your name endlessly,infinite dirges in the dark,but, I don’t have the meanin’. when I was little,I would thumb my dad’s Rosary,starin’ up at our lone steel Crucifix.‘n those same curves come to mind–                                       …

Man Lusts Man (2013)

He is arterial,in the cell-bulging way,splintering off into capillary moments— plot-points roll down his skin,exuded by him to keep his internal temp. a crystalizing fuck yeah. his dimples tell dirty jokes,his eyes write theses,his voice is the sound of thunder on a clear day–    lighting piercing a snowstorm,    smoke without fire,    a third-hand desciple that …

Love poems from Millenials. (2013)

If you ever love me,and you write poems–    if you compare me to things I can never be, Bradbury did something with a weathervein,that echoed Shakespeare’s witches,“Something wicked this way comes.” I’ve been far too many failed expectations,and I’d think you’d understand the feeling,what with us all being:fat,lazy,useless,uncaring,selfish,ungrateful,assholes. We’ve been left a shit world here,but …

Losing (2013)

Emotional instability means,I don’t need a reason to be upset,To be god-damned angry, And you and I both know,No matter how much I take it out on you,It’s really me I hate. This isn’t chess against myself,Whoever wins,I lose. Emotional instability means,My reasons don’t have to make sense,Because I don’t understand either. And I’m as …

Love (2014)

The first definition is is 52 letters long. My definition is four women long, eight years long and capped with [more to come…] My favorite, had pale skin and hormones wild as March rain.                                 and when they noticed that I didn’t care,                       …

Love for Scherezade (2013)

boot shakin’ good sense up in that head,venom-sheened lips,and an army of Guinea pigs, one-punch-two-KO poetry,oozin’ out in surrealist, multilingual,    monolithic, ‘n oppressively inspirational fashion.writin’ to wrap your head around and bend it ’til it breaks,    despite my arguments otherwise,        more than worthy of an affair,        if only to grow warm next to …

Lock-Down (2017)

Been focusing on security at work,not like we’re fighting off NSA threats,just your basic padlock on a locker,deadbolt on a door kind of code.       and I can’t,           can’t quite see where all this will go,and unlike literally anything else in lifeI can plan around that. make the clever choices where:       I may not …
