And here it is - the last great place
the last safe space
a pissing wall in every room
a savior for every occasion
conditioned on contempt appropriation
and a Moon that still doesn't care
about the shape of you, or the shape of...
you think that everything dies with you if you fall
your parachute is on fire
and as you're falling to the ground (in business casual)
the conversation tangles on and on and on and on and:
NO/YES
maybe now’s the time to reconsider all the things
after all, it's a long way down
and if you strip away the decoration, everything's just ones and zeroes
maybe sometimes two
but the maybes got away, and I think you'll just keep falling...
falling
down
through a fake wind of adversity you plummet, feet first, on your mission
an eagle (just like you dreamed it) talons balled in strike position
but everything below is blacked out
long lines of redaction where no one will remember you the way you want them to
your parachute is on fire

never forget
remember?
that one time, that one slight, that precious bruise
roll up your sleeves in anger
take it out on the lawn
In a box
In the back
Iron rust rake slap
flinging seed
In the hope that they will grow
But for now their treasure is petrified
A dance of life in the mud
“This is the oil!”
Little fingerlings sprout and wait
Grow and grow
Circling
In the box old bones corrode
Locked up memories sacrificed until the day you set the new lies free
And only then will you tell your martyr’s tale and how you told yourself “believe”
Forget
Remember
One by one, as you feel through the mud
They reach out to touch you,
Their primordial creator
Smear the mud on your skin
Aroused
Arise, hairless...engorged
Cells divide
Expand
Explode
Coalesce
Time dilates
Constricts
Has no meaning
This is the oil
They're everywhere now
Around you
Inside you
Throbbing with your pulse
Millions!
Remember how everything you loved abandoned you
Remember how everyone you hated became you
Remember how your dreams dissolved as you burned out
Remember...so roll it up in a ball and swallow

Lilacs

In the egress of a haunted world
And the quiet of a thousand bells
Life is teeming, phosphorescing
Sucking the atmosphere into ever smaller fists
Proselytizing - a toxin, beautiful
Earthproud, now
So narrow it down
Pull focus, in
On too much propagation
Settle for the stench of lilacs
The sadness of entropy
A continuous fight
Burning up in circles
Rising in the atmosphere
So much to savor
So much for living
You worry
Containing it all
Earthbound, now
Precipitate it down
Pull focus, out
A rotten distillation
Killing in the name of lilacs

Eating sweet cheese, and searching for the madman in its shoe, it finds
A crowd, an endless stream of windows, all alive inside a beautiful cake
It spends infinities in thought
Says things like, “smother me in your feathers”
And through a slow process of suffocation, discovers its will
Its pasty white tongue bleats into the void
Days, hours, minutes, seconds
And it persists, waiting for the day when everything falls
The shoe relents, the cheese ripens
And the cake walks away
I stay on to play you
I stay on the stage to play you
I stay on and try very, very hard not to blame

In the wet of a cancer world
In the cold of a thousand suns
Life is creeping, convalescing
Hiding from the atmosphere
And it's never promised gifts
Polarizing a toxin, beautiful

You've let the stomachs burn
They've eaten the frost off your skin
Suckled away, still hungry
their dusty mouths…
Dogs!
No
Burning our dead
As a consecration
As an escape
A flat black charcoal smiler worries a worm and laughs
"Where are they? Where are they?"
- scrapes for jewels in disgust as a sycophant, dead in the neck
Serves a fortune of stones
Balm for the gullet of a god
And nothing grows...
And the frozen trees are smoke
The mud is a rock, abrasive and birthless
Wrong barriers crumble in the weight of this cancer, this river of hair in a blizzard of skin
We cannot abide this leisurely rotting
Tape it up, choke it off, make it cry, make it die
Plains, laugh, wreckage, motion, blades, bones, torsion, throw, nails out, fire, push, stab, climb the stairway, hunt!
Here’s the part where your shit is flushed away
Anger and loss
fear and frustration recoils the rope around you
The frost makes a tighter bind as the sucklings dry
Their carbon crushed of its oil
Once living, now rock and powder
Sad entertainment
Compassionate sweat
We're coming for you and we're bringing the cake
Holding no truces
In a smothering light
The scent of a healing upheaval
And as you swallow your stones
Our gums bleed a rapturous song
Of throwing you over the safety rail
What the hell do you think of that?

The bells outside
melted into weights
Resole your feet
To stand proud and free forever
To greet the starfish in the darkness
The final statue swaying in the saline breeze
Waving your little meat flags
Eaten from your golden shoes
A flower of bones, sinking in the mud
All the sustenance long picked away
Say goodbye as you become
An archaeologist's sad little fever dream
Waving your little meat flags
Eaten from your golden shoes
Rain
Thaw
Life
Dance
Life dances on as every last piece of carrion digests the emptiness and you're nothing
Waving your little meat flags
Eaten by your golden shoes
