you’ve taken it all out

the memories the electric

i try to remember and it’s like pawing air

reaching for stars.

buy this car to drive to work
drive to work to pay for this car

an invitation
and i wordlessly roll tangible possibilities
on the frontal lobe.
no.
no again.
fear in the cortex.
fear in my epidermis.
fear in my lungs.

it’s a split second.
i turn my face to the sun
i turn my face to you.

BREATHEbreathBREATHE

sirens suprise

on the way home and i remember why i 

don’t use public transport

after dark.

it sounds like a howl.

and for safety, without thinking i 

 

flicker, eyelids, small split second remembrance

bits of 

grits of hearts and

bursts of mind

fight me right here

with your mouth

and

the brilliance of a body

that is too too wilful for flesh.

prinprick into where

you are you

i am given what

i want

i find power circuits

and licked batteries

a lost workshop behind

locked and upright doors

i knew i could see them before,

i knew it, i think.

i am tempted

the sound of breath urges me on.

i am doing what I

do (what you’re trained to) and my hands hurt and heal so

i send you messages through the skin.

 

BREATHE

BREATH

echoes out through the mouth and the sirens are in the distance

and i feel

it’s in my body.

i look down and i’m clawing the seat.

i’m digging my fingernails in.

you’re sticking with me, kid.

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There’s a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you’re around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

(thoughts while possuming)

this isn’t difficult
cause i’m happy.

that’s what’s confusing me.

this is a tendril
little limbs creeping in
woodsmoke air and
ever changing eyes
over unsheeted pillows.
