THE UNCOMFORTABLE SKELETON

 


Reknit the bones, reset their tones

Rehouse the known, reset the moan

Reknit the bones, realize the grown

Rehouse the known, realize the drone

Reknit the frame, rewrite game 

Rehouse the blame, rewrite the name

Recall regret, reflect regret 

Release regret, renew reset

Reknit the facts, recode the cracks

Rehouse distract, recode retract

Replace the bones, reform the home

The house unknown, revise headstone

Your mouth is spitting bitter snow but everybody's changed the station. Scrape off the tears of rage and cultivate a garden of attrition. Feed the beast of kindness and pray it don't die of malnutrition. You think when the dust settles you'll ascend to the upper crust. But when all is dotted and crossed you'll only be left with dust. Elevator filled with fallen leaves, crisply blanket the fallow field. Throwing punches yards from the mark, it doesn't matter if you yield.

TO THE STARS

Self-loathing smirk, eyebrowed away, dropped in the coffee to evaporate Slice through the gloom, sour apple green, disarmed in the grace of St. Augustine She sends me to the stars, she floats me over the trees We’re forever entwined, she is my infinity Your heart is an egg, fragile and full, hiding from shadows that creep from your skull Voyaging through, negative space, modify monsters that we can’t erase She sends me to the stars, she floats me over the trees We’re forever entwined, she is my infinity As our futures coalesce, like a tree burst in the living room Dispatch demons in the wake of our harmonious vacuum Conjugate dreams, igniting nouns, synchronized heartbeats in endless countdown Four three two one!
