...effort/trouble/trade/tirade/gamble...

 "...I wanted you to know my head."

Words, saturated. Stippling the layers

Of every fucking all that I know.

No hyphens, no conjugation,

Direct, clear, sung with indifference.

Into the right, into the left, pouring in slowly, thickly, 

With unintentional purpose.

That metaphorical grain of sand, invisibly planted

Melted on its own, to procure a meaning, pure

To know, to nod to no one, to know the dots connect

To substantiate nothing but itself, in the long hall of one mind

My own.

As sinus cavities blare

With barometric oomph,

I fucking bang my feelings,

Against the rockiest miseries.

I do this,

Languish in the moodiest halls

They are familiar to me,

And in that familiarity, I find a kinship 

To the grief.

How daring it is to acknowledge difficulties

To assign their due, their reasoning, their

Incontrovertible definitions.

To own and take into account, all I expect of who I am

And all I am willing to do, to rise to challenges,

No matter their level of uncontrollably fucked variables.

Duty. Responsibility. Loyalty. Commitment.

Willingness. Accountability.

Restraint.

The order in which these attributes derive their purpose.

To who does this contemplation belong?

Self, is a beast, with candor, unmatched.

The highest form of monogamy.

The ultimate sacrifice to obtain solace fed from completion

Of all I have in mind,

And all I swap in exchange for that freedom.


Worth the effort/trouble/trade/tirade/gamble?

Fuck yes.

Today.


Ask me again in a week,

When the night gets long and the shadows pour 

Onto me, into me, open wounds, intimate witnesses

That ooze with internal cream

And wail over the wonder

Of Genital Solitude.

Dutch Goat

Neck noodling
Hip spooling 
Wrapped, in whiskers 
In whiny moan, in
Earthy, deep tone. 

Moistened smile
Pondering the Zoom
And
The invasion of
Your space. 

Distracted. 

Bubble, magnetized
Dreamt in daylight
And though, 
Processes hurl, 
I focus there
An inch below your nose
Where sound eschews 
Action. 

And
Tongues, might

Taste.
