i can see the gaps in myself.
its like understanding the
spaces between the letters and
the voids in the restricted frames of images
i am fractured, volatile, searching

i want


0330am : i want

i want to be missed, without being known.// i want someone who will take my mind and/intertwine it with theirs;/ who will stare into my eyes/ until we reach infinite moments.//

i want [finger]painting at 4am/ and nostalgic butterflies coated in musk.// i want meaningful love making /in the midst of the crowd..// i want my breath to be devoured.//

i want to taste the trees/ the bark.// i want someone to listen and/ someone to show me/what is not visible.// i want to explore [  ]/ them.// us.// show me [  ]  am real/ and exist.//

i want to be released.//  i want my mind to be let free.// i want to feel everything.// fingers on [ ] spine.// i want bites on my neck.// i want warmth and care.// i want beautiful minds.

thankful:

for hot baths and the /hot water heaters that / reach boiling points and/ soak into my skin in a /most painfully pleasant /way. // for pencils and erasers/ but more so for pens and / the fact that ink does not  /erase so it forces me to / accept what i write even /if it’s honest, raw or ugly.// for acceptance from and / for the people in my life/ who take me exactly as/ i am and swallow me /whole.//  for sleep and for the / [ ] that help[s] me sleep/the coffee that wakes me/up on nights i cannot sleep.// for changes in me and others in the world for/ new opportunities and the/ never ending row of doors waiting/ to be opened by me.//

lucid dreaming

at 0330am i am perfectly
lucid in a squatted patch
of space among filtered
subliminal contusions.

i am entering a theor[y]
-etical mind over matter
in a grammatic pause or
a cause to speak or to be
spoken .

0335am awake i am
slipping through the
grip of reality. i am
sinking, swimming,
in this deflated water
with these wings .

i am high above the
unjust irrationality of
just sticking to the [ ]
rules. i am coming .

unglued stealing love
lies from an honest
pair of eyes just to
survive what i am
alone becoming.

unhinged at 0341[ ] am
a broken door through
which [ ] go in and out,
swinging back and forth
between (k)nightmares
and seizures of grandeur

i am a tangible sonnet
beautiful. different. new
secretly shifting through
running sentences and
manic metaphors i am a
volatile creature wringing
hands clutching fire.

0350am whispers heavy
silence is the only answer.

unlocking JANE


unlocking Jane


lately the words in my head
have been very loud. banging
sometimes without any rhythm.
sometimes to my pulse, my
lust. but i am all in my [head].

my words are constantly chattering.
often they awaken me to my Self
having a heated conversation with
Self answering my own questions
about colors, conundrums, and the
uselessness of  sentence structure.

individually they are each only
words. tiny, miniscule capsules
of expressions that i re-use, re-
think, re-cycle, re-call, re-order,
into thoughts, breaths, and ideas.
compressed into columns  and
constructs on notion bound pages.

they want to build new stories,
these words. they come at me.
all with hidden agendas, thoughts,
wants,and needs. they are tortured,
enunciated, played out, stacked up
but still trying most desperately to
conjugate a new sentence or to
complete a smile.

i use words. not legs to seduce.  hard
bound shapely words like [anticipation].
to expose doors and open windows wide
to confess that this is what i want is my
words to make you feel my thoughts my
touch. i am more than black ink on white
paper.

i carry my words close as if i may
need them any moment, day ,hour,
minute, second, if we all fall down.
and i draw the delusional curtains and
sing private lullabies under the guise of
infinite and the definition of  struggle.

i hope no one notices that. i am these
words. raw. chaotic. complex. kinetic.
superfluous. scribbled. even beautiful.
sometimes running on from  sentences
and metaphors. slight in frame. distorted
in look they pour out undefined. unlabled.

bare crosses

bare crosses

i am naked
like a frame
up on blocks
stripped bare
barely standing
rusted through
wiped out by rain
my brain my heart
my bones my skin
 exposed.


i am naked
but not everyone
can see me.

snowflakes

snowflakes


there are snowflakes as big as my heart and
they catch as globs in angry jealous winds
naked souls dancing through tree tops quivering
frozen in soft kisses around cold little feet
currently vulnerable waiting for warm hands
to defrost my fragile chest gently sneaking
through my window there is beauty. there is
wonder. there is faith. there are snowflakes.

driving insanity until dawn

0745am 2010: driving insanity until dawn


i am at a borderline.// my personality meets me halfway.// but i am still Myself.//
i am at that /place where thoughts grow/ragged/and bending light/shifts through
words creating spaces.//

if i were to leave this space.// if i were to disappear into .//  broken atmospheres/
of the past/ of the future/ of the present/ crossing.// between/blurred boundaries
and textured contours?//

space is an illusion of/ depth and movement.// and my left foot is racing my right.// in horizontal timed rhymes/but i am still Myself.// standing with this disorder/ in order.//

i am an intersection/of zeros and ones/ at a border a/ cross between/ my life lines and sky lines.// but i am still Myself.//i am driving insanity/ toward the sunrise.//  released.//

exquitiste chaos

exquisite chaos
i woke up with my hand on a thousand nerve endings.
neurons that respond to light stimuli flickering and firing
bits of neural code mapping the steady rise of visceral blood
pounding the raw limits of imagination for pleasure only.
how did this happen? and by what means?

0330 am: out of control

 0330 am: out of control


[   ] want so much and [  ] are just doing [   ] best
and [   ] see things there that no one else does and
[   ] keep tripping and banging into walls of worth-
less conversation but [   ] keep going because [   ]
know its worth it and people say that the journey
matters but of course the destination does too or
what is the point if [   ] are too real for anyone to
comprehend and too passionate to the point of
self indulgent excess and all of life is focused on
a single point that is out of control.

[   ] really just want to kiss [    ].

0330 am : alone

0330 am : alone


this is what it is like to be alone.
squinting fingers hang on new edges
emptiness glances up at me like old times
nothings whisper over fallen shoulders
i feel liberated and possible.

free fall

free fall




you forgot the pedals on your bike
i broke the tassles off my handlebars
we’re still breathing hard, moving faster
and faster and faster and and faster and
i’m letting go of these mindfucking theories
this logical state of this and that and
there and then a quietness fills my throat


and suddenly
abrupt walls are built
fear of heights
i jump

a rare lapse

revelation at 0400am

revelation

4am or one hour before the
beginning of the end of time
and i feel a sad dream falling
slowly through dimly lit trees like
petals of white papers with black
words touching innocent sheets
on the line in the shadows between
truth and deception, good and bad
melting into an aged rain that
bathes the grass at dawn with
the spit of shallow weeds and
medicated repetition as the
so[u]l[e]s of my shoes become the
legs of my jeans and the day/i
surface[s] gasping for air and light

5am another inch of time creeps out
of fragments of broken monuments to
step forward into fragile enlightenment
trembling under fresh green skies
orange horizons fall eternally backward
into silver ribbons of sun awake

6am sweep the patio clean,
lie to the earth, swallow the spaces
stop chasing citrus thoughts with
bittersweet aftertastes and just
gather up all the blue lemons,
add happiness, stir, and
make some lemonade.

the keyboard is unfeeling and
the words are darwinian evolutions
perhaps even freudian re-volutions

there is only the exit and the clock
the monitor no longer sees or saves

or should that be salvageable?

up-grades, up-dates, down-loads
automate, populate, disseminate

my mind ticks and clicks
