more, he tells me one thing i already know toothless famine worn like his star mapped robes, sky large atlantic deep and turbulent as hands marking the burials of his scattered pieces fingers as oracles whispering behind his ears in the lightning flicker of his own treasured tongues

Oooops

morto

You okay?

better all the time

racoon eyed i am in an angeled blur of sleeplessness built up for imprisonment in sternum adjacent cages a week now a month a year humming between my ribs a year coming in this skin asylum stretched thin across a moaning ocean, i shrink into the blinding shine of a gilded island, a shadow lying awake in the hollows of you

#stolenhead

i'm a chunk of wood and aluminum smashing out music lying in verses like a baby sleeps through the screeching choruses of a man is a man is a man is a keeper of secrets i am and none so secret as that i keep from myself the happiness and the hurt of it the crush of plastic flowers under tender feet the cold stone chest of ink and paper howling with the winds of old hurricanes and slick as sick slimed porcelain oh the foramen magnum of this life oh what a hole am i

angel named and arcing amber along the ceiling of my mouth my darkest inclinations as exhalations green in the galaxy painted throat of this brand new forever divide me along the softening edges of it a noose of star jasmine and lavender braided into the swaddling shadow that holds me out of the light that coveted admiration that keeps me to itself the oceaned looking glass of your potioned gaze

bruised rind of sleep peeled away reveals a pale and pillowed tide sighing lavender and lilac a feline slide of eye trialing and undecided

the weakness at the bottom of the day jagged pearls of bliss and agony like broken teeth softening the lilac throat of a monday evening a star falling from the bloodshot eye of nine pm edt netted in chattering palms torches carried into the lightless yawn of dreams

neon frosted birthday cake dissolving on a rented countertop coffee gone cold whorls of curdled cream dancing with mosquito larvea ashtrays collecting rain brave strawberry smiles the bright white panic of empty pockets the familiar cadence of a stranger's laughter echoing through my unturned head hurtling across the dark a thousand miles an hour towards lonely company muttering myself through cold sweats and nausea and the wry-necked melancholy of an arrival to nowhere window smiling at the sweetness of a half-remembered dream

#poetry #nowhere #stolenhead

sunsong a neurotoxin a bitten tongue a paralyzer, that name swells into my mouth on waking, insect sung, a hymn of dirt shakes my teeth baptizes my body in earth my searching heart recedes into sand swathed in shades of storm and stone sifting soil seeking sleekness of nightless bone the scaffolding of lost castles casts the ulnar umbra of an arthritic joining
