Neck

Storm System


Rain specks on summer glazed skin
Flicking, pop 
Pop on the glass
There.
Up. 
The spiels and towers,
Mountains of layering wet 
Unbrazen
Loom
Wind picks up
Trees sing and throw limbs
Arms
And fingers
The Godseats' fluff rises and strings sun
From star yellow, blind white
Top to low grey I can brush with a pole
Revealing the simmering cold inside, a sheet of rain
But a holy sight at the brim of the pale turquoise-
storm clouds.  
Neck

Dew

A fallacious quivering clean
Fisheye perspectives on the green streams of cells.
Spinning in itself, swimming and reverting.
Caresses the surface it faces below.
Pierced and reflected, shimmering sunlashes quiver at the breath of leaves.
One star of a sky-
One fallen hair a humanity-
Sliced in gold and green, borrowing colors from the thirsty air around it.
Everything
And nothing as a single blink of its consistency.
Neck

Sugar

Sugar
Crawling sucrose like epidemia venom
Sugar 
You can't taste it yet
It's a breaker, Cane
Covered in stick, reflective skin glue 
Guile is my epidermic scale
A proud,
imminent
groveling
I'm not above this either.
Paths of writhing firth will find me, Cane
Sweet as your Plague
My plague
Us, we die fleshed pollen
Keeping our affections for the other species' nectars,
Ours too thick to swallow in the moment.
Seeping cesspools of disintegration,
Carbon,
Sugar
Neck

Callous

 Cut my heels
make me click bone.
Make me decide where I'll root the ground with my red.
Sulphur incarnate
I am tired of my Sodom.
I'd prefer the wax to the breath.
Today-existence is a burden
because tomorrow it will be me
who limps with nothing to lean back on,
because the earth on my heels
wasn't mine.
Neck

Need

 So much middle ground
I beat my feet and palms against.
Too much middle ground 
and not enough.
One side of middle ground soaks through my skin 
I walk on needles
walk on spells of hatred
and denied shame.
Other side has no ground.
In dreams I teach myself to rise there.
On those sides, I have a favorite color.
I have emotion and opinion.
Now I am just tired and nonexistent to myself.
My color is grey
Feeling nothing
but suppression. 

Neck

Silhouette

 Slick like the linear lines of your bone limbs
But are you there
Are you the infestation that I want everyone to see?

And you,
you just want a fitted person to love.
Someone of worth to know.
Because they want to.
Comprehend
the dripping leaks on the walls you press against.
The inner isolation that's relished
required-
appreciated.
Withholding love
and it grows so cumbersome
so big
you lose some
like paper balls rolled tight to hold smeared pieces of your actuality.

And there you are.
Long limbs
Flesh lips and bones.
Cheeks in sodium gloss pores.
You refuse to press them off.
So that the mirror will remind you.

There you are 
blotting impressionable skin
upon the pimpled wall.

There you are.
Such loneliness is truth,
you liar.





Neck

Impediment

 I have found
How much weight my words carry
When someone listens-
and understands how they throughly won't.

It is a vitreous, filmy breath.
Thin, pliable; stone to force.
How rich we would be
how gravid and full to bursting-
if we felt our soul at all times.
Well now, this intricate glasswork of flame grows quick to my structure. 
And it doesn't fear to let down its
ethereal
ceaseless
skeleton be seen naked,
bleached bone of smoke.
For that is what it is.
As everything else-if not human.
Cherishing
Relishing
Tasting
The sensile 
quiver of a sore discovery:

Existence and how it feels.


And how does it feel?

Raw and birthlike. 
Because those around me have chosen to grow up 
and perhaps now there is someone who will not oppress the dewed webs
of my mind
with my own need for companionship.
