100

i think i can count
to about one hundred but
i think i'll need help

[ ]

i fell in a hole
came out the other side and
again saw nothing

revelation

i don't love my life
so much as to shrink from death;
whole milk is holy.

o death, i will be
your plagues, man-killed child-- the ghost
who looks in. yes, death,

where is your sting? i
fear silent gaps where kraken
wait to devour me.

shame

shrug it off like flies
from a corpse and pack up-- your
mountain can come too.

chastity

an iron dress-- white,
which is supposed to mean pure
and whole, but really

means easier to
dirty, one more thing to clean--
bodiless and cold.

a thousand and one

i just saw we hit
one thousand visits and i'm
pretty pumped, for sure.

dependance

for a brief moment
i lost power in my house
and i was helpless

friday last

we started at two
thirty and raced the sun back
to our flats, then crashed.

untitled

slipping to the end
back to where this all began;
why can't i move on?

dinner with my family

circling like birds of
prey, eager to peck out the
eyes of the weak, we

eat and talk at once.
everyone knows the price of
mistakes-- wary of

slips, we choose our words
with care, and each heartbeat pounds
like furious wings.

großgarten

it's nice to ride my
bike in the park and not see
any trash or bums.

how stuff should work, part I

here, i can return
my bottles and get money
back. what a concept.

this is life

in germany, things
function like they should. i'm scared
of going back home.

uuuuuuuuugh

ants crawl down my neck
with dagger legs piercing the
muscles that atrophy

ouch, my wrist!

took ink from your veins
I wrote and wrote endlessly
never plagiarize!
