I barred from myself from its beauty

I braced myself from what I wanted the most

Like how I always want to be consumed by the sunset

Like how I always want to dwell under the full moon,

That’s how I want to gaze upon its beauty

So I look back, and search where I first saw it

I look back and it is no longer there,

Where I left it. It left me, so I left.

execution by the morning light 

like you don't even need the sun

--- 

i'm the piece of gum you swallowed

                                        six years ago 

i'm the shoes on the phoneline

                                     in front of yr house

stuck on you like rare-earth magnets

you're like really hard to care for 

   shotgun shells as yr breakfast   

     like its some sort of crime

cause of death: embarrassment

 i can touch you but i can't taste

 you i can taste

                                          you

   but i can't eat   

girl with a single bedpost but she's whittled it

         down real thin like a toothpick

girl with a heart like a six-speed transmission

your insides are trusses and ladders

     and winding stairs made of cast iron

              and stainless steel 

girl w/a body like an armoire

         eyes like sandpaper

             irises black like snakes

                     on the fourth of july

the kind with the diamond grit

the kind they might use to sharpen glass 

       my tongue is speaking in stomachs

don't worry baby i'm just the dress rehearsal

    hanging onto one single second

forever     last fall when you just left me

     to dry up on the sidewalk

but i got stepped on and dragged across town

and i wound up in someone else's yard

       your heart is a glass of whiskey & mine is

a ball of ice abt the size of my fist       dusty enough

kite tied to a string

        but when you reached the end of the spool you couldn't

bring yrself to reel it back in so you just let go 

 now the significance of the moments you really want

 to remember is the way they go undocumented 

   question no one

    trust everything
