Initially, hatred is gashed with such restraint
allowing only suction from mountainfat pipes
to swallow out between pulp the chase desired.
One day tho, all our hearts will shake out thrones.
What we say is a species of what we've said,
tho strains to reach low, hardened darkness
does not shine how we expect it should.
Barely anything deep knows how to stroke the day.
Of course, you can dig inside your mind
for your thoughts the way miners do diamonds
but what you find is riddled with wanton promise.
Better to just go downtown, get what you need.
It's funny, the places want will tend to create,
hinged or loose, tissued with the shuddering,
cooing, then the collapse. Sawdust dreams
blown away so easy and never that real wonder
lashed together under hammer and nail. Does
a forest really hold more beauty than a garage
or is there just more shit in the way so
delayed are our senses' relapse to boredom?
The nightsky is garish when all the stars elate
their shinylines. Nightmares are simple:
laughing clocks and broken dogs. Scarred our
flesh by smeared chandeliers in rabid myriad.
This skin is so lost. Where once it strayed
no further than our selves, billowing now
with the sail our scars formed, so miles
could become waves and touch an ocean.
But, the bottom of the sea is a disappointment.
Pearls are only dirt, so are all our coral reefs.
Forgive your worst joke and your very best bruise.
Gasp bright with all this hour we've found-
