He screams wake up
I am awake!
and i’m terrified
those who have awoken
prefer the bliss of
ignorant sleep
———————
Through my lips sleeps
the tongue of a lizard
beneath these heavy lids
reptile eyes, blood cool
and skin sleek
I cannot awake
while the world is
so
weak
——————
Mortal
Mortal
Mortal
I am but
Mortal
but my words
these words
scribbles of conscience
tracks of thought patterns
are eternal
—————–
I am hellbound
straight from this accursed
ticky-tack town
with its pristine
ticky-tack boxes
and ticky-tack people
with enough ticky-tack audacity
to mock me
but I hurtle hellbound
with reckless abandon
to escape their
sticky ticky-tack
promises of change 

I applaud these soldiers of the land
for claiming this metal monster of a boat
as its own in a cage of roots
just close enough to the shore
to freedom,
for spite.

tearing reality at its seams

I see the whites in your eyes
Target acquired
Fire at will!
Just shoot.

won’t
you
shoot

This party could be mistaken for a war zone.
Smoke and rises in pitch
mix all noise
into an ungodly decimal
girls scream
men laugh
tensions are high
mistakes
are made

Inspired from page 81 of The Lords

I sit at this window into Suburbia.
We’ve domesticated our own mother to lawn accessories
and lifeless products
In the distance, crows feast by the roadside on our plastic
constantly mocking our cement paved way of life
with their vicious laughter.

Inspired from The Doors’ “Hello, I love you”

Hello, I need you
why won’t you tell me your game?
Hello, I crave you
won’t you scream my name?
Hello, I adore you
why can’t control this pain?

Inspired from page 35 of The Lords

I will wait
only for you
my eyes dilate
