Read Subtracting Poems Online

 

subtracting voices

chandeliers hung by dead feathers
cannon balls of years when time hated fairly
left over promises i'm not friends with

getting lept out
hanging death 
to find a friend
running away
marrying the wash out
battling for empty
filling up the old crimes
inside my healing head
to destroy their evidence
useless when its good
too ugly for views

prisons too important
for me, the left overs

i was the addiction
now another contraception
hailing ghosts
tangled in timecards
under hung
and still voting 
to take my spots
