CALEDONIA OHIO/ TOO SMALL FOR BABIES TO GrOW BEYOND LITTLE MEN/ I BURIED A RAT SKULL IN THE BACKYARD/ & HE DECIDED TO RUN/ NOW THE POPULATION IS BACK DOWN TO/ 577/ LORD I DO LOVE THOSE 7s/ CURVED LIKE LIGHTNING TWICE AS SHINY/ THEY CUT ME DOWN THE MIDDLE/ MY EYES ARE INVERTED ELECTRICAL STORMS/ I SWALLOW THE MEN WHO FALL FROM THE POLES/ THEY TOUCH/ THE WIRE & THEY ARE MINE/ CALEDONIA OHIO DON’T EXIST EXCEPT IN/ MY BACK POCKET/ DON’T SIT DOWN, BABY/YOU’LL BREAK MY BACK &/ END THE WORLD (azona)

a giant asked a room full of ants/ what is your greatest fear?/ my heart cried out/ being forgotten- fading away- disintegrating with time/ but I was too frightened to answer out loud./ a giant asked a room full of ants/ what is your deepest desire?/ my soul sang out/ being powerful- making a mark- defining my time/ but I was too quiet to be heard./ someday that giant will topple. perhaps I will be the reason why. ||-azona-||

MARVELOUS/ GLORIOUS/ ASTOUNDING/ and UNTOUCHABLE/ you arch over me/ under me/ your spirit runs through my veins like the needle and thread i used to stitch eyes to my clothes/ (the better to see you with)/ you taste like the dirt back home/ ivy covered town i tried to forget/ CONSUME ME/ ILLUMINATE ME/ let me down gently/ i am mercurial/ i am POTENTIAL ENERGY/ i could easily explode/ if you are not careful. - ||azona||

there is a girl i used to love/ who has forgotten me/ she found a dream in falsehood (they played lovers for so long they fooled even themselves)/ & through her dedication to that dream/ she has forced her childishness into WOMAN/ people told her she was an old soul so often she fooled even herself/ i used to love a girl, but she is lost to me (azona)

If I were asleep in the garden, & a serpent came upon me- / would I take the apple or the poison?/ The true question is: can I tell the difference? ||-azona-

i am going to go to sleep/ and i will dream again/ dream that you love me, that you always have/ and i do not want to wake up/ until that dream is the truth/ i would go to sleep now/ but i am afraid then that i would never, ever, wake up.||-azona-

And I feel like I'm drowning/no escape/no other side when I'm upside down & inside out twist and shout swallow your doubt/ all mixed up and falling apart my words don't work my mind is foggy frightened and alone/ deep breath inhale more salt water/choke and breath again/inevitably, we fade away/ forget again/ keep dissolving there is no solving this puzzle/ pity my apology swollen mouth.||-azona-

@azona and ae: thank you for the kind words! I only just saw them and I've been smiling since.-mothfloss
