upon my birth
i cast first sin
i broke the spell
of harmony
the void was sick
an abysmal flu
go have four decades
then i'll call you back
i was
Babel in the flesh
to not know how
and it's
touching and breathing
for the first time
when the lights go out again
touching and breathing
for the last time
waiting for ejection
on empty plains
i named the stones
the sky was mine
to draw on
an engine planned
for eventual
failure and obsolescence
craving relief
from the burden
of being cast in flesh

unreasonable
it leaves me bleary eyed
a compass that makes no sense
arctic's druthers forbear
you betrayed when we met
in the arms underneath
time feigned its subtlety
then he says he's okay
then she says she's okay
okay, okay, we're all okay
one jubilant portal
you betrayed when we met
in the arms underneath
time feigned its subtlety

The Alphabet of Movement

we walked outside
and saw
the alphabet of movement
and
we wrote
letters that were
previously unknown
to the best
anthropologists
and then we
broke me
with the ropes that i climbed on
from the sound of it
you knew
what you meant
all along
from the sound of it
you knew
what you meant
all along

Cancer

my palms sweating at his velvet stride
every precious step an indication of my atrophying time
i looked at her empty face, abreast, grey
the pollen of my metastasis settling atop her thoughts
inevitably centered and i say that without any sort of judgment
but i say it with conviction
because he said to me then
well, i said to myself
i have to die
here i am in my coffin
an ironic comfort for the audience
as my nerveless pillows sets on some pillows
surrounded by beautiful bouquets
the mirth wrought from relativity
is nice, is great
they versus i, and i versus them
the inevitability of our personal extinction
trying to quash the idea from top taking root
because what more is there to the charades
unclean messes left longer than clock's demand
the thin fabric of bridges

paper thin
consciousness
but still hope
despite
being
near erasure
the onyx release
awaits us with no barbs
just max entropy
inside
the bulb's glow sits
empty pupils
paradise
the walls caved in
that's fine
the mirage and i
parting ways
at dusk
paving
light
jeopardy arrows
pointed
two scrolls
unfurled
diploma
imbalance
wrought into
their jewelry
cinnabarine molars
gazing back
magmatic sprite
eager for
its boon
the sad truth we must countenance
despite
the infinity of consciousness
we are
subject to
parenthesis
