it keeps one awake at night
to last it through to dream's end.
she comes drifting in again, i swear we can't keep the draft out,
how would we ever think to know then,
what was lacking in telling what was needed,
but also what wasn't,
and we cried once, but foxes dust off
and laugh it off

in the night's eyes
in the cat's sighs
in my longings
for a future, ever farther
in the distance to which i reach.
seeking riddles i want not answered
yet too foolish to ask what's needed
for my heart, for my love
for my ever-yearning trust
for a fortune, a good one,
pretty please

alone she skulks the night away
waiting to inspire kindred schemers
to act on their worst impulses.
a nudge, a seed, planted
deep in cerebellum
fertilized in waiting, for the right moment
i swear, when you see it, you'll know why we waited
patiently

a lasting impression carried on a single breath's whim
venturing so far out, farther than you've ever known before.
it's a scary circumstance, but an opportunity you can't afford
passing up the chance of,
i know how big this could be for you in time

from my tears unto your palms
lick them clean
won't you please
kindly tidy up my dreams
now i'll know it, you will too
when deferring goes too long
hold me close now
whisper secrets only mothers show their daughters
holding hands intertwined
just how i know you like it

i hold up once, twice, at a family gathering even
i ask my dad's aunt
to tell how he and his cousins once got lost chasing rabbits
for their paws
thinking luck comes from an herbivore's krebs cycling
and after everyone went home i took out my own rabbit's foot
and said i was sorry

as she fills you all up
rot
as you break down beside her
rot
as your legs buck under insomnia's pillow talk
rot
as it fills up every pore, every cell you've ever known
rot
as it keeps you from breathing deeply, true
rot
as it lends you a ride, asking to return the favor
rot
as it all slips away
as she fills you all up

and she lies on her back
laying innocent
lying distasteful
ending notions she's never started
bearing haphazards to the tune of her muse's
whistling, all through the ear canal
passing thru the skull
and that's when she knows it, feels it
clutching precious to her insides
sending love

Runners on high
where does one run for a piece of the pie?
assets, stocks, divestment opportunities
loser type a shit, but it allows for immunity
think you're above it
but you'll never truly own it
he has it all and you too, silly thing
freedom's an illusion these days

descending down on the mud-stuck luck-drained
and the far-flung with their undeserved esteem alike
so where will you squirm and hide when the night comes
crawling over your lids so precious
tenderhearted
eating crumbs caught between its teeth
for all its worth?

absolute tones,
bells in your head
of lost tidings, beating
their sweat down your ears,
so deeply mistrustful
but so sweet the hope and dream is.
oh god please, show me the higher salvation,

ships on waves, cresting
falling,

beating down the breath of a
fear completely overtaking
ever present, ever knowing
smiling to yourself at long lost jokes
from folks no more. hee.
taking a snapshot of your heart
and posting the notions
for all to see.
do you know truths?
real ones your mom said

don't kill it off
so easily, you'll need it
for what comes next
I promise you, I won't
take advantage
of all that you offer up in
the night's cold depths
holding close to the heat of it
lapping up and eating the full
thick of it
knowing beyond knowing

soon closing round your collar,
propping up your squalor so long as you do your due diligence.
knowing proper places in high society and such nonsense
as you slip beneath their noses
dropping the petals of your posies,
now desiccated.
eating your fill, but never enough, right?

creeping
knowing
ever-present stare
lack of awareness gets you killed
not knowing anything
as the true shill,
you are, Runner.
as you know it
faker, tempter, dilettante of each sight you set your eyes on
so where is it you'll go
when everyone and everything lies in soil
