human debenture
02:21
|

what do you want to keep?
material things?
corporeal me?
i am a poisoned leaf,
bereft of anything;
you can come see
see me some time
see some time, okay?
fold the crease around the seam and expose the gap: heaven
you were the first to laugh, weren’t you?
you were the first to laugh but they warned you it wasn’t built to last
nothing is really built to last
human debenture
you know what you lent her
and it’s real
take it all
make a deal
i won’t call
and i’m gone

really happening

once a day take the kid to the city center
let him out when the streetlights start to flash
watch his eyes twitch
fingers start to tremor
wonder if he’s gonna leave but i never ask
let the kid take a hit if he has to, keep the fix in a bag in the bathroom
is this really happening?
not that it matters
nothing, it matters
a shame
with an internal life in decline for a feeling and a moment in time
can i spit in the palm of my hand?
we don’t need to make lines in the sand
and nobody can make me believe all love does dissolve naturally

tapeworm

like a beast on the streets and you can’t secure it
like a snake in the grass who defies the laws
you couldn’t picture the appetite of tapeworms,
eating all and then register the bereaved who are left with nothing
the seams run
cracks closed by unremarkable hands

natural devotion 2

now i feel the shadow of your touch
the years return to memory for us
but when your head is on the chopping block they all know, they all talk
i look at you desperately trying to wake up for me
they don’t think we’ll make it
there’s a private club near Almond Lake where everything exacerbates
a phantom eases in to rapture
everything between us is new and all i do is think about you
the streets are dark, the air’s on fire
i’ll give you what you do desire
you give me the same just by looking in your eyes
living like a cancer, there’s a question that you’re asking
when you finally find the answer bet you’ll wish you never had it
don’t dissolve in the water with your hand stretched out to find her
in the stillness i’ll remember how you held me when we were together
