In my mind I’m so in love
I’ve never tasted you
So how could I ever know
Such a pure bath
Could end up
Eating crow—
I let your body
Pass over me like an eclipse
I let my body
Rest under you like a
Raging river to abridge
Our differences
In one story
Twelve trees
A rope knotted and aligned
In a hanging bed of twine
Twisted and divine
In my mind I’m so in love
I’ve never tasted you
So how could I truly know
Such a pure bath
Would be worthwhile
To swallow

Sweet disdain
Bitter broken heart
Rotting love
The harrowing blisters
Of a brilliant butchery
Leads to eerie concertos
With gruesome conclusions!
O, sweet disdain
No blame no hate
No anger can create
A fusion for love
A potion for what
Broken-hearted throats
Are thirsty for
Are dry from it all
O, bitter broken heart
You know what it’s like
To feel forgotten about
That’s what this feels like
I don’t believe that it’s better
To say it out loud
But I’m working through
Living under a shroud
O, rotting love
Serious heavinesses
Now with gripped work
I understand that to feel hurt
Is to be forgotten about
Underneath all of that
What I have done
To provide this beautiful space
Consider feelings in every step
Of this shattered place
O, the harrowing blisters
Of a brilliant butchery
Leads to eerie concertos
With gruesome conclusions!

I’m turning blue
When I hold my breath
Thinking about you
Maudlin enough that I’m
Emotionally silly
And over you
I’m turning blue
Innocent explanations
For decadent expectations
I’m turning blue
I’m turning blue
What would you think
If I told you
I’m turning blue
I’m turning blue
Because of you

My lover stabbed me one thousand times
Over and over with piercing eyes
Looked me up and down
Thrusting my veiled disguise
Through and through
Rescuing my skin
With several strokes of the tongue
100 different stars I’ve counted
When I close my eyes with you
I recall their starchild names in Latin
Monoceros, Triangulum and Pavo
I recall one looks like you
Spread out spaciously
Against midnight satin navy
My soul splits open wide
Stab me again with your loving eyes
Wrapped in forever sheets
No beginning, no end
Let me be your mortal prize
A lusty labyrinth full of
Dizzying cries

I’m in public
But I do not have permission
To be here
I have feelings
But they do not have permission
To be here
Chord structures
Can be built to make me cry
Why does the change
Make me want to die
Something unreachable
You want it more
I feel the world closing in
Like everyone is just against me
Is all of this untoured?
You may not have
Trampled my heart
But you left a footprint
You may not have drawn blood
But I can still smell its essence
Faintly in the air

When we’re ready to
Give it up
Say goodbye
Flip the script and pick
Side A or side B
Like charades falling apart
I’m looking through your eyes
From where I stand
Look at these possessions
That I presented
For you to love
Can I listen to this tape
And pretend that you’re there
Would it be the same if you were?
Will it sound better without you
All the stories that are sung
Chapter by chapter
Verse to verse
Can I listen
Can I watch
Before the one
Who wants it shows up
I’m arriving
Now that it’s done
You’re the one I haven’t met yet
The one I haven’t slept with
Do you want this with me
Can I offer my cassette
I couldn’t want more
Nothing more for what we would
To make love with a mixtape

I know there’s something there
But I don’t know where
And I don’t know what
We can feel it but
We don’t know
How untrammeled
Like a canal
A tubular channel to lead the way
Some interstellar direction
But who can truly say
Would it be whom that knows
The passage leads the way?
There’s something there

Leave me here
Irreplaceably so
Dig the whole before
You wear yourself out
Take a nap
Hours before you grasp
Hold of the emptiness
Your smile will
Leave behind
Our destiny is black
So we are lost in the drop
Outlined by stars
It doesn’t matter who
Heard us before
It’s just the sound of
Zip codes drifting apart
You will land exactly
Where you choose to fall
I can make out with the
Memory of our passion
But I am not flexible
Enough to stay
Abandon me

I want your green light
Satisfy this appetite
Spark my dynamite
Everywhere I see you there
Green light
Mystified
Truest eyes
The brightest smile
The warmest hands
Running towards your
Sweet demands
Miles and miles
Goes on for days
Your
Green light
Kill the red
Love you til we lose
Our heads
Lose our way
Forget the plan
Wrap my legs around you
In a
Green light

Norse code
Looking for the compass
To uncover the myth
Of your body
Not to feel
Defeated
For to be what is desired
By the thing I want the most
Is to inhale the breath
That you exhale
Am I awake or am I sleeping
How much more
Will it take
All the promises I’m keeping
For us
For myself
How many more breaths
How many more steps
Until you fortify
My every morning
