Months of Grey

The Viennese sky: a white cover, just light, no light – it’s like the endless search for a pen in your bag.   How scary, to let poems slip through your fingers.   The endless search for a friend in the lecture; I can’t make one, not a single one: I can’t find a pen to lend them.   And I don’t know any poems by heart.   Because now and then my tongue is getting too big for my mouth; I once literally slipped on a banana peel: It lay so brightly amidst the city’s months of grey.   But somewhere between Now and Then I found a lookout for a friend, a curtain just as silky … Or was it only a glimpse slipping through my fingers, again: a smile, a pen?

To Go On On The Go

The left headphone kept falling out of my ear. There's nothing like getting over the fear of dying alone; am I right? Imagine being the skull of a skeleton and forgetting how to dance. Are your knuckles itching yet? Mine sure are; lets make out with the orbit. My knuckles are itching from the warmth after having ridden my bicycle through the frosty night to knock on your door; this is the last time: Good riddance!   Remember when you almost accidentally murdered me after I had told you about me being a werewolf on the vacant sports field of my old High School? I think your pen punctured a soft spot in my skull, now my brain is leaking. Maybe you healed me and maybe I'm dying; either way, I had a good time running in circles and sharing full blown secrets I made up on the go.

It is a space to see and share beautiful, interesting things. Plus, it’s incredibly queer and very political. There are issues I learn about on tumblr more than other media

The First Roof

My mother is an architect. My father is an architect. They dream up buildings together and they constructed me in a way that explains a lot, for example all those windows that I have, windows a house would need but which are painfully unnecessary in a human.

No Continent

Last time I kissed someone was on another continent. The night was blurting and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to be happy about it. Last time I loved someone is reaching for Today. I’ve never kissed her but I have thought about it many, many times.
