Messy & Priceless

has purpled palms

from the weight of her own affections

and fingerlight bruises

angel kisses on her forearm

traces of want

a need love never knew

to be wanted

to be clung to

rather than the one to cling

-lovely,

Changing is growing is discovering

something new

is that scary?

will I do it anyway?

New is different is challenging

the state of things

is that a bad thing?

will you do it with me?

Things are restless; are confusing

propaganda for fact

why else do we educate?

what do we know?

the magic of discovery

revealed in dexterous fingertips

centuries of knowledge

behind paywalls and formatting requirements

-that dream has never been real

-lovely,

Fuck off, dude

and you do not know

who the man is, who is on

who needs

to Fuck

Off

Hello, friend

poking, peering out of

primordial hummus

Knower of nothing, of

darkness, of damp Earth

and suffocating air

Dearest friend, I know

you, in light, in love

with the roots you crawl between,

the ancient world of buried secrets you

explore, digging, blindly

discover divide, split

in the center, spliced

down the middle, again,

again,

again,

your heart

in five

In time- darling creature,

lovely, little

worm, the chances you take

hearts you break-

five times is knowing
