Your Tears Are Guilt, Not Sadness
Touch forever and stare into the burnt blue sky.
Gentle winds of hope that tear across it like fighter jets.
A rocking - back and forth, slow, frothing change.
Delicate undergrowths of shade and shame.
Hang your head.
Your fingers on my back.
You're crying.
A shudder like a gunshot in the dark.
Methods
you scribble your dirty soul on locker room doors
Cold metal against your cheek.
Dank wetness, body odor.
The slide of skin against skin.
Green Gum
You have rainbow laces on your shoes.
You smile into darkness.
I see into those sad, colorless eyes.
A little Russian bubushka so far from home.
I stare at you in the silver mirror.
Darling, darling.
You'll find love.
You'll find "home."
Don't give up
Keep smiling into darkness.
Even if you want to scream.
100 Bones
Feet
Tiny
Muddy
Toe nails red
A gray dryness on the heel
The smell of eucalyptus.
A slight curl of the toe.
Run a finger along the bottom.
It's just reflex, you claim,
It's all just reflex
Love is a chemical reaction
Just a silly reflex.
Trumpets
The little bones of the ear
Have you ever seen them?
They are cute
Tiny
Like a child's toy
Small and curved
But complex
Outside adult ability to understand.
Grasp
She hears me crying in the darknes
"Oh why do you cry?"
Sweetness
Glucose
Five cornered ring
CH2OH
You reach into the darkness
A hand to hold
I bury my head into the pillow
I cannot believe what I can no longer see
Oh
Matt
You've been dead two years
Your body rotting underground
Are the steering wheel marks still on your hands?
Leave me
Matt
Leave me
She speaks to me
Matt
She still speaks to me
Leave me
Matt
I can hear you
Don't cry
Matt
Help is coming soon.
Leave me
Please
Your face in darkness
Your hands tight against the steering wheel.

I love that style of writing
