I kiss shame
As the bile rises up
Placing primal urges
Back out of reach
In the hopes I won’t follow
Back to these baser instincts

Cancer sticks
Ghosts blush blue
Like smoke
As you kiss
Those cancer sticks
Standing in your window
Of haze
You always were one
To say goodbye in a blaze
Symbiosis
I am her tree
where she explores
my human capability to bleed
NaPoWriMo day 1
Unhinged
Becoming more unhinged
Eyes swivel and spin
With contemplative tongues
Clicking inside mouths
That have forgotten to sing
Waiting for some luciferous woman
To hang onto as we swing
A gorillas existential crisis: Bedlam
I shall cachinnate at the hopes of bedlam being resolved. What flumadiddle I’ve been taught of peace and virtue!
Something wrong is written this way
What about hank?
I heard his wife beat him
With nails in a wooden plank
He should have fought back!
What a foolish man!
Beaten by a woman!
No, wait I better take that back
I hope she doesn’t feel insulted
That would be very sad.
Wanting death when there is no release
I’m terrified I’ll want to die
When the news travels down
The grapevine
I’ve been to that place
I’ve had my neck in the rope
I’m scared I’ll still fight
Against my own conscious will
When it comes to the kill.
Resentment
You can hear the squelch of resentment
In your shoes
Stood there
Putting your intellect to no good use
Don’t think my acknowledgement
Of your intelligence
Is a compliment
I’m calling you the lowest of the low
Because you know
What you do
Yet continue to.
Go
Don’t harbour resentment
you are stood in my territory
loosen these chains
made of thought
and leave me alone
I will not
turn back as you leave
you’ve promised too much nothing
Go.
Squiffy
The reality of life is mindbogglingly squiffy
Topys tervy, upside down, a little bit iffy!
And we
Fold our thoughts…
Into our brains…
With questions bigger than ourselves
Is it any wonder we get ourselves into a tizzy?
