Identity is a fabrication
Patchwork falsehoods sewn pristine
Individual fictions interwoven
Justify plainness your self-concept

Conviction precedes disassembly of parts

Pulled apart by seams suggests zero input

Rewriting the same words in a different age
This cruel truth mattered not
As each page turned with your hand over mine
Yet context dictates I the absolute
As you saw my first death
Our grasp slips, but you held on
Condemnation scars color our dreams
With you gone, wounds forgotten
Only my friend remains
And your reassurance
Loss closed the gap between our hearts
I will win it all for you
A monument to my friend
A monument to my obscurity

Breathe crawl walk
Walk crawl breathe
Breathe crawl walk crawl breathe
Vomit up breast milk
Locked steering wheels
Put through drywall
No words shared
At the dinner table
Look at my feet
Stand up straight
Make me small
I wrapped you, shared you with god, I kissed you, stitched you, held you in my mouth
Pull my hair
Spit on me
Holding back tears
Ringer on silent
Mouth full of blood
Mouth full of soap
Mouth full of teeth
Mouth full of words
Close your eyes we’ll be there
Soon be safe and sound
Never ever never ever
Still standing right where we were

Where I am
Not where I wanna be
This time things have really gotten to me
Where I go
I don’t care
I don’t wear
It on my face
It’s not your place
You’d look back and say
I should have known
It never showed
How could I have known
Where’d you go
Where’d you go
Yes I can
All by myself
Where I go
I don’t care
Cuz this time
I ain’t scared
Cuz this time
I ain’t fuckin scared
Oh my god, I can’t see the bottom

Perimeter lines flash across ID tagged boundary fields
Eye contact indexed, self-disclosure scaled
I cry. I want to cut it all away:
Misunderstanding, bias, trauma.
But we can’t allow that. How could we?
Harmonic core resonance
Trapped in a brain
Crowded with ephemera
Where is a way
To undo which has been made
Gored open hearts via separated space
Limbs blossoming technicolor red
The end result of an off-glance
The end result of an off-glance
Landmine gait--assumption, misdirection
A shield wall turned down
Corner folded are corners turned

Lower class
Bred like pigs
Rats pulling levers
Relearn how to love
Relearn how to live
Incestuous panopticon living room
Never learning how to hide
Never knowing what is safe
Your eyes tell me I’m pretty
Look me in the eyes
And tell me you love me
Hope bobs along until it’s pulled under
(Trust already has)
Screaming with your mouthful of food I made for you
Shitting where I sleep
Fucking the son I made with you
Cycles spin on like a rotary phone
Hanging out of the wall
Interject
Self-soothing bloodied lip picking posterity
Starts and ends there
Some people do deserve to die
You taught me
That there
Is no
Such
Thing
As
God

Locking eyes
Closing the gap
You have it down to a science
Prodding, pestering, negging
“Come on do it”
“Don’t be that way”
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Choice words that make them feel guilty
You know exactly what you’re doing
I’d love to meet your eyes
With a knife in your belly
I’d love to watch you feel like a victim
You’re a big man
I am too
I know you
Wait and See
