[MENES ]

CALCULATED! SEE IT IN YOUR FACES
HARD TO STAY IN THE SAME PLACE WITHOUT A BASIS

IN A BASIN, LARGE BAY OF VACANT
NOTHING REALLY LIVES HERE, MY HEART IS A BASEMENT

BOTTOM FLOOR, OR THE LAST PLACE YOU CHECK,
THAT LAST PLACE IN THE HOUSE, CHILLIN IN THE DEPTHS...

ON THE SAME PLAIN YOU GO AFTER DEATH
THE MAINFRAME, MAIN-TAIN ,OUT THE PICTURE INK WEPT

THE MOUNT-AIN, SEEM TO CHANGE WHILE IM DROWNING,
RAINING FOUNTAINS, TIL IM DOWN WITH ATLANTIS

THIS IS WHERE IM REMINDED,
A BEAUTY, SURROUNDED BY DARKNESS,
ITS YOU, AND IT HARKENS

TO EACH GASP, THAT I CRY
TO EACH DAY THAT YOU LIE
TO EVERYMOMENT IVE GIVEN YOU IN MY LIFE


A PIECE OF ME DIES, EVEN DEMISE
CUT IN HALF, WITH THE FACE THAT, EVEN GODS HIGH


I LOVE YOU ; SAID WITH BLOOD AND GUTS
BULLET RIDDLED FAIRYTALES, SEE ME IN THE MUCK
OR THE MIRE, ANYTHING ELSE TRANSPIRES
PUTCHU IN A GRAVE WITH GUNS and OTHER LIARS


[stranded]

alternate blinks of fates worse than death
while they both gape to the next
they’re each graves nonetheless
in one
out the corner of my eye
frozen in place
time’s a portrait of a tortured butterfly as it ululates
i try to sit up
but realized i’m falling
upside down
now something far more awful is haunting that awful sound

a pareidolic head snaps and glares in my direction

staring at what he is unaware will be indigestion

it shrieks at the speed of a shadow that hasn’t grown
when it would have reached me i found myself drowning in stone
i’ve been atomized
but somehow i still see as if i had my eyes
i’m being crushed by the depths of a mountainside
subatomic anthropomorphs surround me and shrink in size
i can’t take whatever breath an atom must ingest to stay alive

suddenly i’m back to plummeting
half-eaten by a wraith
it’s discomforting to see so vividly how delightful i taste
before i have time to contemplate ceasing to exist
the nightmare begins rewinding so i can see what i missed
enough of this eternity’s perverse murder permafrost

this horrid machine is absurd
please turn it off




i love you ; said with blood and guts
bullet riddled fairytales, see me in the muck
or the mire, anything else transpires
put me in a grave for fun and start a fire
