Where the sun can't reach,
but look, the ferns are dancing—
we’re not alone here.
Didn’t Sappho say her guts clutched up like this?

we’re not alone here.
the walls exhale with us, with
a heartbeat not mine.

a heartbeat not mine;
the remains of what was not
ours to begin with
[soon, i will submit myself to the stars]

Good guys always win
But the moral compass is
Going haywire
I like Gabber. I recommend that you should also listen to it.

Going haywire
fleas in the barn, fleeing
piles of golden grass.

Piles of golden grass
turning to gold so swiftly,
why can't I be gold?

everything i touch dulls fast;
dust in my own hands.

Desert dusk of mine,
paint smoothly on my canvas---
brushstroke memories.
I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

brushstroke memories --
ghosts of hands caress your cheek;
a canvas, waiting.

a canvas, waiting.
its frame hums with a tension
too soft to release.

"too soft to release,
much too oppressive to stay."
"mom, please look at me."

mom, please look at me---
and perhaps you'll recognize
who you should have been.
I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

Most things happen for a reason. Though, usually, the forces that be are immature enough that the reason is comedy.
