I'd rather be the girl
waking you up
with coffee
on a Sunday morning,
than keeping you up
with vodka
on a Saturday night

you're never hopeless

you tell me you feel hopeless as you talk with tired eyes- the sky drips with black pen ink poured on crystal cosmic lights your eyes become black vacuums- your words turn to somber sighs, and I ask you: on the darkest of nights, have you ever seen a starless sky?

Literature

a girl at the airport

when she eats cake she presses a napkin to her lips with each bite-- frosting smears are impolite murderers of good, faraway first impressions. when she sees someone beautiful, she hides her face behind a book, book shelf, closed door like a pious man hides his eyes from god. when she has something important to say among a crowd she utters it like the bah of a vulnerable lamb-- a fragile thing, a hesitant mantra to be drowned and consumed without thought or care by the sound of louder others. when she falls in love she looks around to make sure no one saw and when someone sees she refuses to believe their eyes tried to catch hers.

poem for the girl who told me life was meaningless

every winter, it freezes so unforgivingly that i can never believe that next spring there will be flowers bursting from the soil. but i know you don’t care about that. you want footprints in stone, but all your shores are filled only with sand and i understand why you said what you said but i know a man who drove trucks in Vietnam and now drives a bus full of children to school every morning. don’t tell me that doesn’t mean anything, not when i’ve seen the way his hands grip the steering wheel, knuckles white tight. not when he carries pictures of his grandkids in his wallet, like dog tags around his neck. we have

sunday girl

i watch you shuffle through the kitchen and i can feel my fingers softening and my mind crashing but there are so many things i want to scream at you, like: how on earth did you learn to love me when there are continents forming between my ankles, when i'm stuck in the middle of a road and there's a car coming right for me and i just stand and wait, and how on earth could anyone have so many freckles between their shoulder blades and why is it that when you nestle your stupid head into the spaces between my ribs all i can say is that your hair smells like September 25th, 2012, or how your eyes look like pages of an atlas and that i want

dear lover

please make sure that my funeral has sunflowers and that they serve champagne and everyone leaves with a party favor and please make sure you wipe tears away with a handkerchief that smells like tea olives so you can remember the taste of our first kiss, sweet with a hint of something new promise me that the first day sunlight feels like honey on your skin youll go outside and forget about me, as long as on days blanketed in flannel gray youll stay warm and read my favorite book when you feel wind in your hair think of my fingers and when you see dandelions sprouting through cracks in the pavement please remember how i smiled for you

Separate flights

For the Heavens could no longer wait. So they sent a giant plane to fly you off to paradise and bring you to their gates. I stood beside your dying bed with the sound droning in my ears I told you "It´s your flight my love so you should show no fear. For just as soon as it could be I´d book a follow-on flight then we´ll be together this time Eternally." Suzanne 04.09 2019

Men-Machine

Fight the anguish of flesh manifest I can see veins of metal, how they infest Every single little pore, but I need more, Mechanical marvel I’ve become. Look, look, and see the strings And how they chain me to this bed Of nails without any regrets, For the needle helps me forget. Stripped of the anguish of flesh manifest, With wondrous veins of metal, truly I’m blessed But I need more, the wondrous little mechanical whore Always craves more Stopping one day, I see myself in a mirror, no more filters Without the lens, and with all the chrome; the filthiest wretch, a stranger Sprawled on all fours, stripped bare and primal desire flares. Repent, repent, slave, waste, wasting away Pathetic mechanical animal In the anguish of stripped flesh My rusted carcass No blood, no veins, no heart The horrifying realisation hits home I died alone, an alter ego.

The Walker

In the crisp cold of space Midnight comes and goes As She pleases, as she grieves From star to star, close and afar Midnight wanders, and wonders Where o’ where hath love gone

astronauts in my eyes

wait a moment and we'll run towards the sunset, seek the breath of night as it ghosts along in shadowed spears; hold your dreams until the ocean runs clear, salt-free and empty of emotion. the sky told me she'd never fall in love with a man with metal wings and yet the pilots serenade her with droning songs of wind and lust; hold steady, the clouds are rising up to revolt in the light of a broken sunrise. (the sky weeps tears of gilded silver, drops of starlight, disrepair; the moon looks on with crater eyes and haunts the earth with lullabies)

A list of things that don't suck:

The way rain hangs onto things, the way it lets go, lip synching, succulents, the change of the leaves in autumn, people on the bus who sing to themselves, strangers who smile, butterflies, music, people who are honest with themselves, love, people who are honest with others, strangers becoming friends, book quotes, movie references, good hair days, poetry, being able to trust someone, soft piano in the background of a restaurant, hot soup on a cold day, the way bees communicate, the fact that the sky never looks the same, dancing when no one's around, polaroid cameras, walks through the neighbourhood on a beautiful day, adorable old people,

My own type of beautiful

I just want to be the kind of beautiful you can fall in love with, maybe if my hair were longer or if my ears didn't stick out so much, or maybe if I wore more makeup or heels or miniskirts. I want to be the kind of lovely that makes your head turn, but as it is all I am is only sort of pretty in a certain kind of light, and not the kind you see me in, so that doesn't even count. I want to be the kind of beautiful you fall in love with, but not at the expense of my own appearance. I want to be beautiful, and I am, but that doesn't guarantee anyone's love for me. I can't have someone else's beauty.
