hunger

you told me you were hungry so i laid myself bare for you.

i placed my heart alongside my kidneys, cups full of my essence for you to feast upon.

but then you saw how bloody the table looked and decided that you weren't hungry anymore.

there’s much to look forward to (uncertainty is unattractive. it invites instability. it’s life). my favourite colour is aqua blue (aqua as in ocean. as in every now and then between the grey and the green there’s something so vibrant it strikes art). I like daffodils but I don’t buy them (they’re never at the florist. no wait. they look prettier by the waters edge. no wait). the book I have the most copies of is “picture of dorian gray” (something must teach us to be beautiful. something must teach us that being only beautiful will ruin us). the last poem I read was a love poem by li-young lee (love bleeds into everything. art yes but also words. my emails. into you. sorry me). it’s sunday (quietly dreadful day. the one I least like to enjoy but the better of the ones I don’t enjoy altogether). it’s supposed to rain tomorrow (the weather app has been showing the rain icon while glaring “zero percent chance” at us for weeks. I don’t believe it. not the rain, just the weather. it changes too often. familiar). I don’t know why stars formed up instead of down (it hurts my neck to stare so long. stop staring. id rather die. why do you think we get buried face up?). the crinkle of chip packets is too loud (I love to know people snack. there are quieter snacks. it’s not my enjoyment this time). there’s much to look forward to (even though Orpheus taught us to look back. just once. doom your narrative. it’s life). I remember to put on joint tape and forget to stop jumping (I’m a child. my body is nothing without the love I have for it). winter is my favourite season (I find myself to be alive in the sunshine. what better way to feel than warm in the cold). there’s much to look forward to (when the ocean is aqua. the next sunday. rain. clear starry nights. snacks. looking back. jumping. warmth). there’s much to do then, before all this (life.)

what’s there to look forward to (much).

A poem, for the first time in a while.

I wish I didn’t give you my heart.

It turns out, you didn’t deserve it.

When the stars align

I know that I’m alive

Just sleeping.

Dreaming, fast forward somewhere

Keeping me up until the morning.

I suppose I teleported here.

And then Im kept awake by the birds,

they always sing.

Even on Monday’s.

Perhaps,

It’s not a bad day in this lived in home.

Perhaps,

I am just sleeping, and tomorrows gold.

Kleenex

Alabaster petals frill my body

A softness to give, I reach out,

You reach back, I flutter free

A puff of succour, spotless cloud,

Wettened by mouths, by fingers,

I fall limp, unblooming shroud

You're taking, the question lingers:

Do you prefer me small?

Or like breaking me down?

A little emptier, I peer above,

Taking

And away my layers are flaking;

To be used and crumpled is love

And I've been loved well;

The box gapes empty,

A wound, a womb, your pit of hell,

Taking, taking

means you love me plenty,

So take and crush this cardboard shell

If I write the words down

And burn them

Will they vanish with the smoke?

The burden of unspoken feelings,

Held back by the damn of silence

That we built between us,

If I let the words out,

Perhaps they will let me be.

Set them on fire

To set them free.

Without you there to listen,

I have forgotten

How to speak.

One year to a decade ago - 22/01/24

Feels like I left Mackelmore down 

And that dude was rapping for me specially

we’re so alike. 

Feels like I left Mackelmore down, afterall

Getting on the internet and checking a new hit

as soon as I wake up, and I’m not

even choosing to check on hits

simply scrolling to get my fix

and stumble upon argentinian chicks

doing some good

rock’n roll.

jolt out of the bed,

gracias chicas, 

It’s not so bad when there's music playing,

even if your two weeks deep in a bedroom mess,

I feels like you’ve lost the plot, if not the book,

What’s the relation between dopamine and dope? 

And for how long I’ve been addicted to the feeling 

That there is something wrong? 

Skateboards and bullying some 

ten years ago, I couldn’t fight the past, nor let go. 

But I look around and there's nothing here, 

only online echoes of a past life, where I 

only had one tattoo. 

some ten years ago. 

And fucked up, stumble

tripping on my own legs wherever I went 

Lamenting, wherever I go.

But that’s that

So much times past

what's in this week, 

to dissect

was it that spliff?

was it the sext?

Was it the lack of weight lifting?

Pluto shifting? 

I wake up at noon, 

and know

that yesterday

makes as much difference

as some ten years ago. 

Pacifica playing riffs on my phone,

Rock’n Roll.

why do i see you everywhere?

it's ended now, i suppose. has been for quite sometime.

yet i can't help but search for you in every space that i might catch a glimpse of you.

my eyes wander to every tall man, searching for that face of indifference.

and on days when my wistful longings come true, i turn away from your dark brown eyes.

when is the day i stop?

It’s sad isn’t it meet a a girl and think damn this is it

But she ghosted and ruined it. Had you thinking she was really into this

Aphrodite's palimpsest

Aphrodite  “Slender aphrodite, Has overcome me With longing For a girl” I was so happy when I found that pink slip What now though I was so thrilled when we met in the hallway What now though I was so sure when she loved someone else What now though I was so pleased when I thought they could love me What now though I was so sure I could convince myself to love them  What now though  I was so blessed when you sent him to me Wha† now What now, please, please what now My dear Lady Don’t smite me where I sit Where I hammer away at these keys Keys so different from those In your sweet palm That unlock fate With each stroke Where I only make silent noise But please Your majesty what happened | You took those keys Showed them to me But they unlocked nothing Your plan I know you had it It was all too purposeful Kismet And now And now I’m without the map And I’m stranded And it was all a lie And Please, please my Goddess I’m so0 sad And so scared Please Tell me before it’s too late Before I go numb This cold is slipping into my fingers  And I couldn't burn the rose for warmth My dear angel Did i do something wrong Because all my heart feels Is empty When you filled your cup With my hand in yours  Know I am so thirsty In a desert And you, where have you gone Tell me, tell me please Apollo can’t speak for you He holds my hands but I have to turn away Because I feel so dumb I’m flushed pink And I hate pink But for you I tried to love it And he can’t make this blush go away Burned by the sun when he tries So it must be you I never meant to bend the keys But i guess that is my MO So maybe that’s the answer You tried to help me To give a makeover to the dork at the beginning of the film But this is no movie| And I am no protagonist And you have no time for these follies that lead nowhere You tried your best to mold this clay Into something lovable But walked away when you realized I am a hopeless Useless endeavor  So i am left unfinished  A torn up manuscript of your hand Journal with dates left blank  It’s okay I am not mad I promise, lady of love I have to cry though  Forgive me  And the twin archers can hug me Because they deal with my fate  Something there may still be hope for yet But you had to leave Because dealings of love Cannot be meant for me When I am this  This. Sorry for letting you down Goddess
