Hello?

Hello,

did you see my text?


i missed your call
the other day


the network was bad
[it’s always bad]


i know
wait, had lunch yet?
[just breakfast]


you’re such a slow eater
[you’re picky too]


i’d pay another cent
to speak with you
[that’s not expensive, haha]

yeah, life’s cheap
when you’ve got nothing
more to lose, you know
[i know]

Last Supper

full course, appetizer

long life, sympathizer

watch his body fall

like dominoes out the sky

crushed in strong hands

young lord, dragged around by his horse

till his body breaks

into fine particles

mixing with the dust

step on him, leave your prints in

so he takes the memory with him

to an afterlife where our last meal

is nails bitten

& tears drunk

Magnitude

If you start something
I decide
When to end it



This puzzle we piece
These parts of you


Don’t need fixing
And we both know



When the night bends over us
I take a piece of you
And fix it underneath myself



When the day breaks
I hang you on the wall
So the rays kiss you
Like I’ve wanted to



But you’re not coming this way
Anymore


Even though you left
Quite a magnitude of yourself



In puzzle pieces and wet dreams
And this fucking fog between us
Just won’t go away



It doesn’t matter anyway
I’ll fuck the puzzle. And your pictures. And your shadows.



And the glint in your eyes. And bite the mole on your lips.


And run my tongue like a marathon
On your slender nape.



Even though there’s a fog between us,
I can see you clearly



So don’t even think



Of running away.

#love

build-up

what are you babbling

about? my cracked lips

faux smile

fat waist

i let the words float

stitch them against

each other. breathe in

chaos

fixing

this bad blood

& if i can’t take it

no more

i let hell descend

from the top of your head.

Art by Loui Jover

My mind

Is a stagnant pond

&

I am fragments
Of different things

Where time stands still

In a black film

Each fragment is a piece

Each piece is a vessel

One piece is a man
I carved out from gopher

Another is a girl
I knitted in the attic

A piece is a woman
I molded from leftover clay

Another is a body
I folded with the paper

Of my first poem

Of the first time

I walked into a vessel

That wasn’t mine

If I throw it up
Into the hungry flames
Which of them can pretend to be
Intact? Whole? New?

Which of them
Can imitate me?

Which of them
Is me?

Breathing

Round & round
Round & around



Drip! Drip!!
Drip!!!



I mimick the ceiling fan

I mimick the tap



The shoes are tighter than my dress
But I twirl around without a care



This rhythm, I maintain
Distance, I remain



Candles in the dark room
Tables for two



The sun sets in an orange vase

I pluck out her petals

One by one as I chant

I can get over the cold

Even though it’s been years
My shoes are still dancing
Because the music plays
Faster in dusk

The dark hues round
My eyes, drip
Wide sinks
Liquid trickles
Down my spine

Everything stinks

But you can ignore the stench

Match my step

Wait for the sound

Wait for the bartender

Wait for the order

Wait, while I complain

Wait! I’m yet to answer

Wait!! Don’t start without me…



Wait!!!
Don’t leave without me… please



Round & round
Round & around

The ceiling fan spins
Like a young ballerina
Who didn’t know better



Drip! Drip!!
Drip!!!
Every five minutes the tap leaks out
Droplets of desire
She’d buried inside her heart.



No, I’m not Cinderella,
Not one of the invitees either.
I heard there was a ball here
& I was just passing by.

Blue



Ice queen
Champagne



Drunk men
Diving



Skin deep
Painless



Curse me
Stainless



Ask God
Horseshit



Feel me
Riding



Grey clouds
Rising



Black smoke
Blinding



Dark jokes
My thing



Dumb notes
Take them



Fall through
My dreams



Sucks though
Breathing



Run Joe
Screw them



Fuck you
Distance.
