LIKE A PHOTO NEGATIVE

the sunlight 

is invasive

is heavy 

as chefs knives

cutting thru
lime neon leaves

it makes me feel 

like a photo negative

like a hiroshima shadow

i hate how 

it gets inside 

of me

&

how sad it is

to be irritated

by a star

FRAG 7

you hear stories

of people who die

because they couldnt & wouldnt

cry out for any help



why cant we hit the rooftops

when its raining black inside ?

LIKE I LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING

the myth of muse

is a side effect 

of all the saliva we swallow

& it sneezes its lexicon-salad

from
inside
even
my
scheduled rest attempts

like i left the engine running 

& this heres the fumes

 

ILLNESS DOWNER THERAPY POP

'every six months or so
 like the seasons i suppose
 it seems to me 
 a bit of me dies 
 somewhere inside'

 & we started from there

 my essential therapy
 &
 the therapists education
