I am towering over Iceland
This time, it is covered in snow.
The natives wear nets over their faces.
They yield chariots of molten metal, and run them into my foot.
Their heat is the only source of warmth for miles.
Icepicks are taken to my toes.
They don't seem to understand that if I fell,
I would take all of them with me.
Reyk Jovik, everytime I visit you
I grow less and less inclined to come back.

I am going insane.
angels are flyin' 'round with styrofoam wings
naked wisemen are lost and the cattle sing
the babe's in the manger but he's wet and cold
mary's much too young for love and joseph's much too old

Crush Pungent Wine
Jingle like it meant to
Crush pungent wine
Wave of the hand
Dirty caress doesn\'t forgive
Whisper sublime
Smooth to good kill
Rustling tight underclothes removed
Indulged fantasies brilliant white
Crash to floor above
Burning rug sensation true
Escape before dawn discovers
Cold for grazing lips
Decaying sheets dry like flames
Unwinding cigarette smoke like a prayer
Can\'t stop twilight running thin
For all it meant to him

Life Without Jenny
Life without Jenny
Like nothing the world has seen
Like lying on your back in the dry dry grass
Weathering bugs in an attempt to be real
She wanted to write the great American poem
Like nothing the world has seen
But there was nothing left to write about
Nothing left to be deep about
No reason left to be beautiful
Chantelle with buttery buttery eyes
Chantelle with hands like milk
Chantelle with a presence like a smoke alarm
Chantelle knew that she existed
She knew that she preferred Merlot over Cabernet
She knew that she had lost her virginity at 16
But there was nothing left for her to be beautiful about
And she could not liv

Composed of Passion
Composed of passion
Composed of sterility
Carefully orchestrated dewdrops cannot
capture this.
We could jump this town
Like another bad dream.
Under a pastel cloud cover
Things wouldn\'t look so bad
Would they?
Empty harnesses are left hanging at abandoned bus stops
With some inexplicable
desire
To destroy something beautiful.
BREAK
Because everything does in time.
Because falling in love is named so appropriate
happy birthday
youre fading
weve never loved anything
quick lets drive to you know where
drown
its all for you
dont touch my shoulder
ill suck you in
youre leaking
wheres your life
its your special day
and youll eat up my affections
ill be where glitter stars eclipse pentagrams
and hair gel smells like sweat
trying to touch you
its not unrequited if it never existed

Epilogue of a Break Up
How do you trace a scream?
Such subtle lines that softly blur;
a moment designated to sing
by beauty
or ugly:
a lily lying in a field.
Sometimes
she wishes on the leftovers
of last nights rain.
Closer to starlight than stars
with two weeks of tracing,
screams singing:
"We can't talk about it now.
We can't talk about it now."

Making Love To Musicians
I suck hard on the cigarette you gave me,
bummed by you just thirty seconds ago, from
the blonde by the bar, with the legs that have seen
better days, and had better compliments than that
She stares blankly, now at my boyfriend
who strums a guitar with the grace of a parent
walking in on spur-of-the-moment cunnilingus
fumbling fingers and muttered motherfuckers
Now I play with your wedding ring, fist round
the gold that she spat round your skin
to ensnare you as hers in moments like this
when messy skanks rub a forefinger into your lechery
You\'re inhaling more of this cigarette than I am
cilia expanding to welcome my sweet exh
"Send in the applicant." the Talewinder told me, as I bowed and walked away.
I'd been in his service for the past seventeen years. I was twenty six. I looked nine. The Talewinder liked me liked that. He liked to watch me skip down the stairs of his castle. He wanted me to be nine forever. So I was.
The Talewinder lived in a castle made of stone and dreams; from the outside, it was enormous, half of it hanging off a dark cliff. A river raged underneath, only interrupted by the occasional stone that would fall into it with a splash. There were human shaped gargoyles and beast shaped statues on every ledge, twirled around every cone sh
This place is neat. I've only been here a week and have gotten some wonderful comments. I hope I get actual feedback soon though, as opposed to just compliments.
