---------------------------------
i was there

another person or another life

strange how one can

disassociate the days

 

when it separates
i owe you one or one

 

tarnished what you keep

locked in the basement

the lip of your glass

on the table

to tell you about it

keep your eyes shut

 

unimportant what passes between
one and one's own

 

misrecognition

 

read as an epigraph

 

an empty room of something  sparse

 

--------------------------------- we live in a place of corridors
it is true and not real
and you turn the corner

 

framing light referends

 

slowly
and disperse as equal impermanence

of waves

white  lines

who had once played for the silents

 

but he didn’t think

they’ll heat to vapor

of things not lasting at all

 

go around me
you know the answers

 

and real and not true

 

--------------------------------- to record the tension

 

you’re much crazier than the weather

 

live quietly within this city

 

and murmurs

and names we can not acquire

 

but my fingers

had been kept secret

 

hello

i didn’t recognize your face

 

---------------------------------where the time goes
what you call retaining

vomit talk

it’s not this quiet

 

some kind of animal

 

i think last night was

 

a slip of the tongue

 

thing

significance

thing

 

how you keep finding me here

 

as elephants have past lives

this thing is bigger than you

 

and to retrieve it

 

retains of a particular

 

an empty coat of somebody

 

lead on my face

 

them with their kill

 

---------------------------------soon and soon
it has to

fucking stop

 

night

an explanation

your eyelashes

 

jumping into my chest

 

if you weren’t real
i would make you up

 

every song

i am what

the water

ringing for patterns

still to the count

for nothing forward

 

---------------------------------fair enough

keep firing

and though it changes you

i mean to leave everything

 

thinking i am thinking

already a man without lips

about one thing

i forgot

i forgot i forgot

i know nothing of physics

 

about putting skin on

how you are attached

to this machine and to its timing

 

girl you myself as a child

 

the way it echoes you

is to echo you

 

now and from the side

 

no matter what it sounds like

 

it is the sound of burning

 

---------------------------------transparency would translate beautifully to the bottles

navigators

little bird

actual black

 

but these are not my shoes

 

random unhappiness

backing you up

in faucets

in frames

what you want to remember

don’t worry darling

soon and very soon
events call themselves into question

 

nobody knows nothing

 

white waxed cocoons

black waxed dioramas

 

everyday i make up things to take seriously

 

---------------------------------

it’s not about geography

 

when the past becomes the now

 

he is leaning over her from the other side

 

fraught seams

 

these beats are twenty years old

 

if i could be that for someone else

 

between her stockings and her skin

 

---------------------------------

the danger is that we will listen

 

we went looking for lightning

 

it did me in

 

---------------------------------

chasing

the memory of

our sacred so and so

 

i steal everything

 

to reconstruct air

that something splits into

these bodies lacking parts

 

make a fist

put your mouth over my mouth

 

ruins and ghosts

we’ll never leave this room

 

---------------------------------don’t try to change my conviction

a little map 

in your mouth

in my mouth

 

ricochet

by your own memory

a cage of fire things

 

i want to hear you

 

i only remember falling

 

then you must

 

tell me i’m crazy

you told me i’m

all people inside

 

i can’t drink my coffee until i put you in the closet

 

close your mouth just close it

 

you were here last night

you were driving circles

 

---------------------------------

tell me would it kill you

 

not the other way around

 

glossy red songs

 

i will find you in the distance
