I Thought 02:00
i thought. i could. leave here. unharmed. i thought. i could. leave here. unwrought. i thought. i thought. so much. so much. i thought. i thought. a lot. a lot. i want. what you want. to be alone. to be apart. i want. your mouth. rusted shut. broken in parts. i thought. i want. i thought. i want. i thought. of you. a lot.

Carrion Kiss 03:08
3.
Continent 07:10
there are scars on my arms from razorblades— marks on my body from bad burns. where have all those places gone where you touched me for longer than an hour? every stroke blossomed into beautiful bruises— my skin soft as mute paper, and you, my towering shadow-like man, you said: “i want to become an island again”. blackened boots and cigarette smoke— i heard your car rumbling by as i walked. you said you were driving just to get out, but i knew that it was something different. you are far gone now—across an ocean where you seem to belong! i’m holding a mirror up to these waves— nebulous medusa appears then crashes into nothingness; i could lay here forever, let myself be littered with coral! you don’t belong to me— you don’t belong to yourself! i want to become an island again. you giant continent, break off your tectonic plate. we will form a new earth— watch the sun make the day.
4.
Mute 02:00
i am mute like the music that hides within the body of a violin. i have chosen not to sing. i fear that the next one will be the last, and i fear the next one won’t be the last. mistakes are not eternal— haven’t i learned anything?! the violin is broken— the violin is mended—
5.
Monotony 04:14
words leave my lips like papier mâché catching aflame against a candle waxed to its frame— a column of homogenous thing. tear off the tendons— expose this ivory skeleton! and when our bones align in this light, i feel fine. and when our bones collide in this light, i feel fine. shooting up iodine in a pattern like an assembly line— shoving syringes deep into what is pure and divine. and when our bones align in this light, i feel fine. and when our bones collide in this light, i feel fine. these throats, these thyroids were made to be intruded upon. these throats, these eyes were made to be intruded upon. these throats, these bodies were made to be intruded upon. these throats were made—

Oppressor 03:30
let the flesh rot let the flesh rot outside let the flesh rot let the flesh rot inside let the body divorce itself from the mind let the man in don’t feel anything everywhere we look all we see are blue skies everywhere we look broken bodies all the time
7.
Old Wounds 02:35
we stayed up, watched the sunrise— and i felt myself melt under your eyes. i asked you, “please, make this stop”. you tried your hardest, but it wasn’t good enough. the cut got deeper and i breathed in harder— started shaking from the deepness of your love. my scars are shown, but they’ve all healed up. funny how time closes old wounds.

Queer 02:35
9.
Crisis 03:24
stop trying to find your friends. focus on getting to the end. it’s a labyrinth. bite your bottom lip. bleeds till it dries out. find the distance between. the sound and the moving. separate the sand with a sieve. it’s a maze. don’t get discouraged. don’t lose this here. this time and space. isn’t real.
