#1

no one leaves home alive:

ancestral rage
makes me want to flee home
the excess arthritis builds up
between my wants and needs
I want to be permanent
I need to be free

I'll run
but no one remembers to chase
I blend in with the pebbles
a jay swallows me whole
I make his meals digestible

I didn't realize freedom ment
living in a gizzard

Guilt Trip:

guilt is a comfortable emotion
since I've learnt to swim at midnight
pleasant daggers,
safety pins to my internal organs
aka the unseen team of jelly-beans
that make me a real boy.
...but really, is it safe?
they dial nine-one-one
asking for an ambulance
forgetting that
there was a stabbing
and the criminal
is still in the room.

these pretty things have an expiration date:

the door-bell moans
today he wants my elbows
and i am worn from distributing body parts
but i grumble to the door
plaster on his favourite smile
'cause when he stays away
my eyes tend to leak
and the plumber
thinks it's the pipes
clogged with self-regret
and self-disapline
and self-dioxide
but when he opens the door
and I see how much he wants to be a man
i want to invite him in
but like my phone
I'm sixty-eight percent dead

say hello to Evangeline:

Warning, this one's a bit grewsome. It's a horror for more than the usual reasons regarding my poetry. XP
Spoiler! :
it started when nana refused to refer to Eva in past tense
then we all started referring to her in the present tense
now she sneaks into bed with me at night to protect me
with a knife.
i like knives
and so does Eva.
sometimes she has to protect me from herself,
stabbing herself while we sleep
i know because the bed shakes and some of my stuffies fall off
and Eva cries
sometimes so loudly i think mummy will come
but she doesn't
so i go to get her
and she doesn't wake up when i nudge her
or when i say her name
and i realize
i want to wake up
but it's not a nightmare
Eva came too
and brought her knife

sun-shower

it was the rain that left the water out today
the rain blamed the sun
and nearly convinced the dandelion stems
that the rain had a VIP pass
to summer
this is why the weather changes
because she's often exhausted from hearing them argue
about who gets to play outside

anchovies
bite me as I sleep-
chat
dorthy says to say hi
everytime I call her
fingers melted to the cell
golly, she got the wrong number again
heaven knows that she knows I know she's faking
introverts; figures
jammy time, she still isn't hanging up
kangaroos ducking under my armpits
lonely while I listen to vibrations
miniature lady-bugs that carry the message
never lying, never lying, never lying
otherwise our conversation would be lost
particularly dangerous considering the dwindling panels
quilted in our companionship
relationship-wise
still, it's chatter
talking, even
until we fall back
very slooooowly
where reality becomes a dream
xoxo
young as we used to be,
zoe

they stowed him
tied his fingers
around the gym
so he could dribble
when he felt inclined.

they never visit
praying from a distance
as if that will save them
from a rogue basketball
in search of its game

fifteen was the number on his heart
cardiac arrest isn't common at his age
you arrested it regardless.
marbled-blue when you finished
dead as the daffodils rising between his toes
