Oh, how the days blend together... to hell with it, here are more products.

I sit in front of this screen so much, I'm startinging to think its weird during the day when the pale white light isn't shining off my nose. but I guess when you sign up to be a writer you reap what you sow. It's a strange contradiction to my writing style though, I'm all about figuring my life out through interraction, creating joy in my life through that odd thing we call face to face communication. But today I woke up in a glorious mood, maybe due to the fact I am mear days, hours of papers, and a presentation away from being done with  my undergraduated; or possibly its that I woke up refreshed at 11:15am, skipping my class that has an amazing ability to deflate me intellectually and leave me with a sneer and a distaste for litterature. Whatever it may be, I think today I will finally sit down, bite my lip and put the last of my poems down and complete this project. Through this project I've realized something about myself; I can spew a whole bunch of shit before I find something that I think speaks true to the Human narrative and in a more self-centered view, myself. these last poems were longer and I spent a little time with them. they started more raw and I formed them over November and now I present them, content with my product. Enjoy.


Convalescence/ Your Ekphrasis

I

This was never…
Staring at the Floor,
Two lucid minds,
Aimlessly avoiding the eyes
That once had…
These clothes confining
What we used to keep warm
Your arms crossed with nothing
To hold.

The empty space

Grows

With the tick


Of my golden alarm clock,


You’re miles away from me
In this room, we... are undignosed

II

The absence creates reprints
No blacks or blues
Only whites and reds.
Wipe off the dust
Enough
To see what we created
When we created it
A romantic picture
With several copies beside it
Corroding in the dust among
The skeletons in the attic


"She heard the message from the bottle"

I
Drink up, little Girl
You’ve made it where you wanted.
Here, amongst the wolves
Frolic in your short meat skirt.
And baby, they look hungry
But
Don’t fear, I’m hear
So Drink up, little Girl.
Taste the world, little mama
Savor the nail polish,
The flavor of watered down pine trees
Learn to love the burn
That coats your throut,
Restlessly sturing in your chest.
Feel your freedom sweetened or tart
Enjoy the familiar smell of your father
Of your grandfather
Of me.
Drink up, little one
I will always be here.

II
Drink up, little girl,
Take me down fast and violent
Spill me, my love,
From the corners of your mouth
Sliding cross your cheek
Rolling down your neck
Blotting your shirt with wet.
Don’t worry what they say, love
I’m here for you.
Drink up! Drink up!
Fuck their whispers,
We sing badly proudly.
Let’s dance, My baby, Just dance
I’d catch you when you get dizzy
But I love rollin’ in the grass
And on the carpet.

Drink me, lovely girl!!
They are numb, you are alive,
We are amazing!
 


III
Drink slow,
Wait for me, baby
You’re swimming out to deep.
I can’t see you anymore
Over the swells of drunks.

I Hit the floor, near empty.
Without you, Im naked.
What happened to you
When I got left behind?

IV
My dear,
Put your hands round
My shoulders.
Don’t Cry, love.
Tonight marks the beginning
Of our love affair.
I know its true,
By the way you kiss me
In the morning.
