7-21-17 I hear noises and I can never tell where they're coming from. Pipes rattling. Strangers' voices. Rustling bushes. The selfish anger in prayers. I'm driven by needing to know. Curiosity becomes instinctual habit with every headspin my neck produces. I can withstand what I can see but visualization isn't optional. Existence to believe belief exists. If something from somewhere, then here to there. |
7-21-17 you are inside me like knowledge like poetry the arteries commanding blood expanding ivy in the dead heat of summertime preparing to dry to die to come back to reply a sentence ending unafraid unchanging with a semicolon with a death with an all-knowing smirk of composure in the face of scathing drama you make me me see like a mute viper noon delights for dinner waken with appetite spoke little spoke sent more or less you equal everything |
7-22-17 Are you prepared to suck the same poison? In the deepening slope of nows your options whittle themselves down to finally celebrating your mistakes; every facet of life equals party and every facet of party equals life until there is no difference between anything and that's when you realize you're dying not at the hand you were given but the one you chose to play. But you were dead anyway, right? There are millions of synapses firing while you're waiting for the gun to shoot...and any one of them has a different and/or better resolution. |
7-22-17 The view was lopsided but we would make it; 5500km give or take. Time-honed and precious... soft as water-sanded stone and similarly we can grow through a mildly muted subtraction that sees us bond over what we traverse. Not having to rely on technology puts our focus more directly on each other. A welcome, and eventually relaxing, change. |
7-23-17 You're in retrograde again... sparking and pinging nothing of note but noticed enough anyway. Nineteen and a half years ago you might've been crazy but you're just a generation too late for asylum existence. Take these pills and take some more until you can't take anymore and we'll try to tell you when you've had enough. If you can stay awake through your pain we'll inform you you're famous long enough for a following before you vanish mysteriously again into yourself. |

Probably not...how I write them and how they sound in my head is dramatically different than how they sound coming out of my mouth 
.
Thank you, Mona!
