in preparing a heart
for the vast expanses of america
be sure to schedule disappointments early
so as to leave endings
open
for bitter defeat
be a firm believer
in the healing power of laughter
this makes trying to stifle
the unavoidable giggles that occur
when considering the irony
of your own demise
a lot more fun
we're making
failure romantic again
we're taking
what we're giving
and completing the circle
with ourselves
when truly taking the time
to find yourself
be sure you've filled out
the proper forms
you'd hate to find yourself
angry or
worse yet
falling asleep
eyes blurry
and just one more line to go
it's something like infinity
(...dot...dot...dot)
if it's enough to make you angry
it's enough to make you
it's enough
and
it all comes down

once more with feeling
the earth we lived on
had two moons.
(at night
they both
held hands).
-
i keep remembering
our naked mornings
and our naked nights.
we were the
sound of the ocean.
wed smoke
poison
and watch
our liquid sex squirm.
-
lets bleed
all over the carpet,
were knee-deep
in secrets.
i miss
your voice
when you still sang
and when my heart
wasnt your
pincushion.
yes,
i use to think
you were from a city
made of stars,
now you sit in the
dark waiting to be
reborn.
at least i
still have your
picture
to smile at.

Night
Tendrils of silky moonlight caressed the stars
Dazzling the beholds, and kissing the scars
Dancing, twirling, singing and laughing
Who knew the night could be so dashing?
Run with me child, let your nature break free
Scream with me child, scream with glee
Dont fall, or trip, dont let the world bring you down
Jump and kick, just dont frown
Peer openly to the clouded skies
Be curious about our own fatal demise
Run with me child, let your nature break free
Scream with me child, scream with glee

sleepless nights.
i.
you cry at the sight of pretty white snowflakes,
insisting such a beautiful thing shouldn't fall
into such a cold, bitter world. it'll all be gone
soon, washed away with the tears of the
innocent.
ii.
rip up the floorboards, you'll find the knife
you hid there so many years ago. a child
of only five, you saw things that no child
should ever see. you knew the value of
protection.
iii.
you still cling to the blue stuffed elephant
as you try to fall asleep at a decent hour.
Joey was the the only one who had been
there through it all. he's the only one who
knows.
iv.
february air leaves your lungs dented and
sore. too man
