You don't pay attention to the cost of the rental
Only the amount of force on the pedal
Curses slash your throat like words went mental
The synonym for addiction is always accidental
The closest thing you got to Darfur's peril
Is the $50 t-shirt you got from American Apparel
And if it's you staring inside the gun barrel
You know why the women wished they were sterile
Daddy telling you to stay away from black men
Marry a man that fits the mold of a Ken
White skin, blue eyes, ends a sentence with amen
Soul as inky as a ballpoint pen
He is the hand that chokes
The throat
That spills
The bullets and the notes
I spoke
Caught them in filters
Kiss the one that feeds
Your seeds
Share me
the way he grinds his teeth
and eats
I am your crayon box
Give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Give me away
Give me away
Give me away
I am the bird out of the flight formation
The coyote follows the shadow
I flew into May
They shot down Athena
Give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Bullets
When your staring at his clay face
That smiling clay face
you ask your self
Who gives the most?
And he makes you want to give yourself away
When he doesn't want you
You ache
When you don't give
He takes
When will you learn
rings aren't as shiny as first bought
Your conversations only consist of calloused words
While your ribcage starts to cave in
But you still give yourself away
You take off your dress for him
Your hands and thighs are stained black
You still take off your dress for him
He's waiting for you to hurt yourself again
When he doesn't want you
You ache
When you don't give
He takes
There are so many trees on my block you could swear someone was trying to plant a rainforest. Each tree has their different style of imperfections. Some are lumpy and stout, others are wiry and thin.
The elm tree outside of my bedroom window smells like rainwater and the leaves create shadow puppets that look like fire in the fall. The bark is hard and sturdy, and makes you feel like Superman when you manage to tear a chunk off of the trunk. The branches are as random and sporadic as a drop of blue food die in a tall glass of water. In the summer the leaves are the most vibrant shade of green I
It's just the way he closed his eyes
And set his hand on his cheek as if he was trying to remember
That he was human
And to see the droplets form on the tips of his eyelashes
Knocked down pillars inside me
He outstretched one arm and lied on top of it
And tucked his hand into his pocket
He tried to look occupied
But his eyes screamed vacancy
His pupils like hotels
He watches the people walk in and out of his life
Like a revolving door
And the one man he wants to leave
Won't return the key
It's just the way he forced a smile
With one end of it trembling
"It's nothing"
I keep praying that it's nothing
But my rosary tells me di
Melinda Biggs has been employee of the month for the past three months. She prided herself on her perfectly manicured grey pantsuit and level nametag. Her husband died two years ago on a damp Monday morning, and the event has left her bright face an expressionless abyss. Her wrinkled skin had evidence of the laughs she used to have; her crow's feet were like dry empty streams from her aged eyes. She guarded the Impressionists area of the museum. The doors were being opened at 7 am and, as usual, the crowd poured in. Two twin boys, one with a slightly shorter haircut, walked in two identical red polos and capris. Their mother was stringing al
Click, step, Click, step, Click, step
Pacing in shoes that give me scars
I thought I'd become a skeleton on my linoleum floor
I told myself that the sun would deflate
like a balloon hit with a shotgun
It would rain acid and leave holes in tree leaves
The wind would knock electrical chords into a rich kid's pool
the cement would become quicksand
But instead I realized the sun was too far away
the bullet would get lost in the marshmallow fluff of atmosphere
And the holes in the leaves are just the aphids celebrating Thanksgiving
And there's the back of a pickup truck crawling with clanking metal
Tool belts and plastic red boxes
Two
When waves crash down
they make storm clouds
each grain of sand
loses its name
i stay the same
her hair grows short
her nails are crayon boxes
filled out, dressed nice
her hands have changed
I stay the same
I wait and count
the stairs and stare
and pick at nails
after the pain
im still the same
I'm waiting for the sun to peak above the horizon
I try to count how many faces it has already seen
My body is lined with seashells on the cold clumping sand
and the rocks on the lake
melt with the dark blue and black sheep clouds
each crack and crevice like a hard finger print
people paint their problem and promises on them
Marry Me Joan? 1978
Happy Birthday Mom
EB + LS
Some are so sweet
like an extra cup of sugar in their strict recipe
it makes me so sick, and how I want to scratch them out
but instead my fingernails
create catacombs for ants in the damp dirt next to me
writing out the dreams and futures I childishly believe
