there is this drug we all seek, a drug we’d never speak of, but a drug we need nonetheless

Love.

What a stupid fucking high to seek

Can I have some?

Wanna play a game?

Describe your favorite taste.

You ever get so lonely

My youngest has started writing. She’s on the spectrum and has always grabbed at arts door. Her drawings are unique and steeped with her own style. Her mom, who I met here like sixteen or seventeen years ago, sent me some of her poems last week.

I was blown away.

Then, this weekend, while she was sitting right next to me, she wrote this poem. I was blown away. In someways it feels like something I would write. She’s nine.

I’ll die knowing that my kids will take a piece of me with them, but also, they’ve given my life definition.

reality is this,

you can fight it if you wish,

we are perverts for the verse,

of course it could be worse

I could write every line about you

trick you into fucking my mind

reality is this

you couldn’t fight it if you wished

the verse has always been a curse

we a perverts for this shit

I’ve posted this on all my social medias, but if you’ve ever enjoyed something I wrote, I could use some help. I don’t have books to sell, only words I’ve already give, and my power is going to be turned off on Friday.

I need $170 miracle.

Im tired of ramen

“ the rocky banks of forgotten ridge “

rocks are just

hearts cast away

left to bake on

rotted soil over top

hells eternal boil

so remember when you

skip a stone , count the

seconds in increments of

falling

[vbkpoetry]

I am only

Lonely

When I think

About it

[vbkpoetry]

“pity, kitty”

My heart is

beating like a

caution light

underneath a careless black sky

I can hear a litter of kittens

crying, the unmistakable sound of

starving

as my stomach growls I’m

going to cry like a starving

kitten soon,

myself as the caution light

inside my chest knows

soon my choices will be

made in vain

He cracked your back

his sack spit out

a seed

and the next month you didn’t bleed

that’s how this tree was planted

[vbkpoetry]

Outside a bar in pinconning

I wanna live

long enough

too see my hair turn

white

watch my eye brows

seasoned by time, my face

gas light my life

but the poisons i

take destroy the canvas

my parents created outside

the crump pump

tavern on one misplaced

night

[vbkpoetry]

“Outside a mcronalds in midland “

I am sitting at a table

they are walking on a sidewalk

there are people all around us

we are not communicating

I suck the straw and water comes

she wipes her eyes clean

he is telling her

that he no longer needs

there are other people around us

watching the same scene

but we are not communicating

as he erases everything
