idk

Find myself horrified by 
modernity
maybe I really am getting older
the words we say 
those plastic smile
delinquents with too wide eyes

maybe all too well and I’ve
lost myself to it
the vodka no longer does
protest and the butter smooth
that doesn’t seem to mind the
hour of the day
asbestos mouth and flint stoned feet
with hands like a saw mill vice

Idealism Or Someone

What do you see in my emaciated emerald eyes?
Idealism or someone lost in love and hatred
Birds eat my meat thrown on the clean floor
  A death sentence has passed on my sick neck
Don't grind your teeth as you walk on my rotting body
My blood has become fertilizer for the roads of the raging seas

His cries tore my ailing eardrums, my skin as blue as the calm of country nights
Then I sank under the mud of the battlefield, My heart sank like the stars of the raging galaxy, My wet hair and the mirror watching my majestic body, Save me under

Science, they believed, held the truth,
But endangered animals for knowledge that was uncouth.

Verse 3:
Mathematics, they claimed, was the answer,
But used it to create weapons of

Pillowcases

When the moon crochets a pattern so subtle that I think I can hear it;
This is fluid feeling; this is a force I cannot replicate.
A calm silence in the silence- I can feel it. 

You’re in love and you're alive and despite every heart-shocking, benevolent
crucifixion you hold on the dead cross of a body you

I
Tbh 
There seems to be 
a reason for it all
The call 
for everything unexplained
explained  
Icymi  
It was a game 

To await 
		The fate
Of one side  
	Or the other
Calling your name
	IRL

In fact
	They didn’t really 
choose you at all
did they
Nor you them

The uneasy peace extends 
18 years 
	But Iag
