Psycho Haiku

They found her playing
In her menstrual blood all
By her self, laughing.

Love Haiku

I'll never read the
Words because I could never
Write you off, away.

This Is Love

smiling at myself
stretching the skin
across the skull it covers.
I would erase you
but then you'd be
forgotten.

trouble down the line
fools apoxyed to the
barstools they'll die in,
listen to the symphony
of gutter rain
just like me

I changed who i was for you.
For you, amor, for you.

My Mother, When Older.

After ten, lights out
just as they do since my arrival,
often wondering, does the girl in
the next bed feel heavy as i do
when breath escapes, rising up cold
revealing itself in desperation.

Has anyone ever slept in this bed
My eyes rain like hurricanes
fast and meaningful but no one comes.
I am still my fathers princess
locked in a tower.

Creating this prison
it took work, choosing to walk these miles
it is black now, and the only sounds are
the jingling of keys
Against a free mans belt.

No Glory In Battle

Being a child,
I'm reminded of a time
When my own mother
Would Tongue-In-Cheek
Whisper about the ascension
Of death
And the hell on earth
When she forgot
To take her medicine.

And this glorious time,
When I almost forgot that
A child of my own
Existed
And I alone was teacher her
Lessons that possibly executed
The reasons she died.
I killed her-
Clutching,
Scraping,
Twisting,
Spooned out with a ladel,
And no one will ever know.

But how was I to know
Such an error was a sin
To the mother, To myself.

One Overused

My heart feels full at thoughts
That stars I wished on guide me
The same stars I wished on lied to me.

I wish I'd never wished the day you came existed,
I wish I'd never wished that hopefully you missed me.

So hard to disbelieve in wishes
Won't come true
So hard to wish that I could still believe in you.

But I wished for you
And I wish you...

Hips That Face Towards The Door

Rushing Something So Inevitable;
I Can Taste What The Air Will Be When You Are Gone.
