you dont know how to stop violating my boy

Only in the wretched 
Broken locking
Of the safe
I was beaten into
Which refuses 
To hide
Privately, despised by standards
Breakthrough! Simple
To be your sickness, in fiend
In the fiend you 
Rusting edgework of him
And her and his fathers and hurting 
Me better
Thanking myself always
Your cursed reproach of silence
Uncontrolling the illness
People please themselves in the dyes

sundered tulips

New York Theory

Boo don't talk to me news
He rebegins
Chaste in here with you
I held out empty ink
Twirling walls 
Rampant porcelain dreams
Too many parks
In one day, destroyed me

sundered tulips

Tell my brother not of his famine
Call my brother in light of his sails
Bring home his scabbard
And part with your blame
Why your name so unfair
How long till your shores erode
Leave this page in which you find me torn
Escape fear at once
In barreled ink I fish
Squandered remains of wheat
Delicate death you’ll not find
Only jest of my tears

Always cutting off branches begging me
I can’t sweep when I await the fruit
I grow whole in rain I drink
And beneath shelter life reveals leaves
Uncharted Sails and wind begins free

She lost standing up without language,
A passenger missing from a train.
Her mother should be here by now,
While she waits and misses, empty comes back.
A good empty she can hold, at least, at her least she
Can be worth holding

There, evolving exists
Outside of where you
Can be, the space
Where nothing remembers
You. Your all done
With that lesson
Just being a baby after trying to grow
Means the whole flower will
Understand
This is my father, the time of Francis
As Eden resumes and idiom
Desecrates the grave you aren’t
Enough. Saint is sour language in
Your fearful form and stage is
Frightening to take. You are
Conquered in films rot.
Vent!!!
Speak to me
I command, air!!!
Begin your tails against
My feathers hate
We shall duel in the rain
Perish fire?
Crying furnace of ruined lies
You desire my shelter?
It wasn’t for the suffering
That I was lent
Or to how something was
Unwound in time
A chair would rock
Spins of yarn

The chase in the return
Of midwinter’s open cry
Closest to the legs
Hiding him fine
The father
Is in process
To his words
In advance
He is prepared
As she raises his sun
He attends to the wounds
The medicine
And the fortune
Telling before the days
Her land is not alone
It carries burdens
Ending in sorrow
She is a ketch
Limp and mundane
A potion inside of a stain
And yours left dry

Stolen desks
A wreck of in the night
Frantic pacing
Of ideas
Misplaced building
We have not captured
Our lens
Together, last season
It was for study
Ahh, but ever the farthing
A just penny she was
So beautifully shrewd
To fall upon our scenery
Dormant and formidable frost
She wills to grieve
And not to stay
Travelled and placed
Emperor’s strain
Curt and long
Days veiled in song

Why hadn’t fickle lunged?
Or danger ascend
Professed white
Guilty sight
No remorse
All shadows
And stilled
In her voice

She had hurt
And follow’s
As huntress
In shallows

A body
A remorseful partner
No trust
Her next choice
Taken
She’s found
In rehearsal
Covered in failure
His and there I watch
Her give up
In tears
Stolen beauty
To his ways

boy diva writes about?

butterfights
on butterfly'd
stopping goodbyes
without saying
i has a song
not in your garden 
long time you spent
washing all the dirts
evidence

"let miss thang be in control"
just as long as she's around

"but the old dead tree!"
what about it?
"it is gonna squish my house"
so your not protected?
"your right i should use my words"
yes i am right
that crooked witch uses the whips
and controls that switch
she the welfare wizards

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

Working on a Home

In every lifetime we live and work
For progress
The court must hear free speech
Or the halls of Congress were useless

I am not a just man
I am only here for world peace 
The thoughts that don't get here
Are the thoughts spoken in wars

admonition

The generals cries
A blind baby 
Released of faith
His bloods eyes screen
Undone binds
Freeing the filthed
Upon his head
No justice
Beneath the shod
Brother he can’t find
Called war

towards the exhalting booth

dotherant's hardened mule

news of numbers and yearling's pew
ardvakians, mustering askance the dairy
frolic, adhere, nearer, when forward

finding in country
beliefs?
how have you been beaten?
never the please you say

smiteful river of dirt you burried?
startled priors, trampled by grass weavings
I shall share a terrain with newalking briarly today
in the moss groves of yourn I will a, wait

Lost in Sound Stations

or Down Winding 

The shoes went
    up on the
line back to the
buildings 
     to pick up
the news

girl hate

girl hate back
backwords she can't gavel
above her the beast
hateful of beauty in arrival
to learn the day 
to burn the way
opened eye must, alone
become a sacrifice
not to a throne she bevels
his edge lower and unaware
the liberty of private war
she alas will declare
this and thou
is how we leave the tombs
handled over too many ways
and consumed
succumb to my fate
walk towards the water
be not less, be not with me

Deliberate New York

Hey repeat
You a needer
Last night the today beeper
Called me back
Hey repeat
Ima lose her?
Night wards under rains
Ferry won’t visit my shores
Last daymare you have?
Me running out of boys
Like girls cost news
Hey miss
Did works close the deal?
Didn’t rules get you clothes?
Ima mystery from ireland
Just like tank shells
Follow my wind
Brushed off the vested
Gotta let you bake it
Take nuns home in limes
Paused enough lines to bury the sun’s syrup
