all your desperate incantations,
whispered into falling snow,
hold no power nor sensation
be it warmth or winter cold.
and I ask myself with hesitation
do I hold your hand your slit your throat?

I now know,
the coughing dust exhumed,
how it feels to suffocate.
the iron oxide blemish
perched fermented over eyebrows,
drawn on the contours of their cheekbones
caught lazy up in cobwebs
hollowed out cocoons and tiny lacquered fossils
at rest they idle in their boredom
ticking, whisper, tell their stories
beg for us to listen

cravings
crystalline shards of concentrated orange juice
saccharine pulp, sugar coated and citrus infused

despite the hushed and harsh impossibility
of our curse, dangling above us like a mistletoe over blindfolded and dumbfounded drunks
disbelief pushing the cringe of halfhearted smiles through crooked teeth
and all the wherewithal always just almost all set,
all right.

despite any attention paid, the debt lingers on
past due and just shy of full fledged approval

despite everything
we carried on, carefree of our abandonment
the carnage and carrion debris of our wake, listless and listening
a song for the deaf
imagined sounds hum out of tune
brittle vibrations sing a chorus of calculated silences
and we mouth the words to all our favorite songs

I'm like a black hole searching for
something to light my way

and I can quote Pablo and Gabriel
but everything I say just goes to hell

and everything about you that I learned
well it just served then to confirm
what I already knew
I already knew
