Vanishing Cloud Burial

we wandered into the sea
with the intent of a lifeguard
but preemptively, i brought a bodybag
for hours we surveyed the scene, but i am still right here all the bad omens we knew of carrying white flags and the sea felt pneumatic while it pressed
and it feels absolving, i am with you now
your body lies where you fell at the foot of the lighthouse exhumed by the water and bleached by the sun your limbs arranged like a pentagram on the ground you were forgotten but now you are found

i said i wasn’t scared
i lied
you should have killed me off back there
at least i know where i stand

i am a snare before a fawn
i am the body and the dust of a life lost
and i lost myself
and i led myself on
and i lost myself
and i led myself along the way home
i had a window and a throne
i was a kestrel that flies out and across the battlements and i lost myself
and i led myself on
and i lost myself
and i led myself home

let them in
my head down
my lungs so sore
check the wind
every arrow in
my neck and stomach
then skinned alive
the harbinger of death bags me up

I Deserve This
05:19
|

|
i feel like a shell
i felt a gasp in my chest
the moment you fell
i won’t forget it
it was so poetic how you
leaned back
i won’t absolve you
you were not the right one
and i was so stubborn
but i will break
you and i were like one self
i dissociated
and i’ll wait
to find the right state of mind
it’s a long two days to drive along the prairie roads without a soul to be found
close your eyes
and the moment you die
there’s no one to right the wrong that i’ve done but you don’t buy it
and i don’t deserve you

Missile Gap Year

|
the whitest light fell from the sky
survival instincts flared as we looked for reasons why every breath feels as sharp as a knife
i am alive
why am i alive
every stomach swells like a balloon
the wind is a noxious monsoon
tell me I’m alright
as the fumes pour in
tell me i’m a liar
let the right one in
i am alive
why am i alive
i am pulling on their forearms
like i am pulling on the sleeves of a winter coat are you watching
you waive your life off
you like how it feels being alone
you are like a night owl
i never see you when it’s light out you waive your life off
you like how the water comes in you like your lights off
you can’t believe them
|

dare me to do it
and i’ll do it
recent access memory erased i just bought myself some time

Cat Wand Mastery

|
i can’t kill the night sun
in spite of how i’ve tried
are you sore from all the blisters that’s how it starts
i can fire the door-gun
so long as you feed the belt
are you lost in the heat of this moment that’s how i felt
i feel like a fraud
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
i don’t like letting you down
i will try to find my own way
across the end line
i will try to find the infected wound
that makes the choice mine
will you pull, and will you feel inclined
i wouldn’t judge you if you tried
|

Anticipatory Grief
04:20
|
|||
|
you are the light that binds
you are the light in the cellar
i am right where i belong
i can’t afford that life
i’m in a nondescript room
i am right where i belong
you are just passing through
you are the last one who knew
i am right where i belong
come a bit closer, before i go outside
come a bit closer, you’ll be right on time
i will fail the weighing of sand
if i lose my cognition i will let you decide
