Flatland Spider
Snow
keeps piling up and Killing
flowers. that hurts my head.
to crawl inside a spinefish.
to move its mouth. to bet and to
win. i miss my mother's arms and
the soda farm where i broke my
hand.i fit the wrong way in and
i'm liking it. but i wanted a kiss.
i fall in. it's automatic. i crawl.
this kid was selling powder. he
had a hat on. and he took my name.
"just for our private files in case
we need a hand or you run into
Him". i'll suck this panda's
thumb. and wait for Monday to
shave my head. small fires still
burn up fuel. they eat the guts
out first. then they break into
fits. i fall in. it's automatic. i
crawl. it's automatic. to forget
i you will. disremember me.
The Onlies
i been
here
for hours. i been here for
days. sleepy in your mind.
like a picture all faded from
age. this is my last chance.
to say it to your face. but
i can't stand. to watch
you smiling and turning
away. you lead in forehead
let it die like sunset. i
lead in forehead. i bury it
away. do you remember when
i said "you like him better
than me, huh?". i ain't been
home for years. now
nothing here's the same.
i still here all those voices.
calling out to play.
they leave me cold.
like october wind in
my face. they
leave me empty.
like nothing's worth
living today.
