I was sorry for a time
but it sunk
with all the other little somethings
I swept under the blinds I keep shut
I've been sorry for myself
but it floats
inside my inner ears
and disrupts my heel-toe patterns
I trip over the ones I trust
I don't shine out
anymore
I don't shine out
I am preoccupied
with cells dividing, without my consciousness
I am unblessed
unblessed because I am not the sun
Time is in the dirt that scales my fingernails
but when I cut them off
I am still not free
Time is in the dirt that scales my fingernails
but when I cut them off
I am still
still sorry

Decentralized brain waves
I haven't felt this warm
as of late
Destabilized heart rate
I swallow the mass
disintegrate
Lately I've been leaning
on bodies
like walls
my split ends
skull deep
and fixed with
children's medicine
Decentralized eye gaze
pupils plunging
perception displaced
Maybe I need a long rest
maybe I need a tall glass
maybe I need some vitamins
maybe I need to grow
some new cells in
Lately I've been leaning
on bodies
like walls
my split ends
skull deep
and fixed with
children's medicine
Hope is restored, a breakfast renegade
help comes to you
in store bought ways
hope is restored, a breakfast renegade
help comes to you
in being
in becoming
an empty space

Coming Down
06:16
|

I've been coming down
but it's not softly
I've been coming down
but it's not quick
I've been drying out
the blue prints of my brain
resuscitating
origami schemes
and taking pills
to make the bad things turn to
plasterscene
But it's hard to force
consistency
when it's been holding
up my spine
it's hard to force
consistency
when it's been holding
up my spine
I've been coming down
but it's not softly
I've been coming down
but it's not quick
now it's important
that I always know the time
and it's important
that my troubles are all mine
all mine
But it's hard to force
consistency
when it's been holding
up my spine
it's hard to force
consistency
when it's been holding
up my spine
I've been coming down
but it's not softly
I've been coming down
but it's not quick
not quick

Black Spot

They found a black spot
but I wasn't surprised
hasn't there always been
one in your eyes
when you didn't like her nose
or the shape of her teeth
hasn't there always been
a spot underneath
They found a black spot
caged in your ribs
you nursed it quietly
while letting her live
she grew up quickly
sprouting her kids
but there's still a box in the basement
she blankly forgives
And all of these black spots
you can quickly forget
she scrubs away softly but
never adds to the debt

Blank

Wen everything's blank
I watch the time
it's not my fault
it's in my mind
it's in my mind
Should I not eat?
Should I not buy?
I go to sleep
apologize
it's in my mind
Somethings
are hard to look at
somethings
they surface
I can't swim
Give the ones you don't trust
the time of day
three square meals
stay awake
with a heavy chest
as you start the day
take your pills
it will dissipate
it's in my mind
When everything's blank
I watch the time
it's not my fault
it's in my mind
it's in the ends
of all my hair
it's in my teeth
and every empty chair

The Handshake
05:12

I had a dream
I touched your shoulder on the street
before we met
and now I know
I know
sharp bits of me
tap you behind your major
arteries
I guess it's been a year now
since you shook my hand
Dissociating buildings we once passed
taking five steps back from memory
relapse
my body is stacked
with scaffolding
connecting my innards to your past
I can't be sorry you shook my hand
Well I guess, I guess
it's been a year now
I let it crawl
hope things are well
and you can call me
if you need a kidney
or my opinion
hope things are well
Well I guess, I guess
it's been a year now
I let it crawl
hope things are well
and you can call me
if you need my kidney
or my opinion
hope things are well
Hope things are well
