welcome january

welcome January
I have been a little out of line

should I say?

maybe not.

I own a lot of plants now
but I could not wish the dark away

I wonder if the snow will last tonight.

the window feels cold just like he says I do
But I am picking up signals and obstacles
to clear your way
Don't you read anymore?

restive

Could never whistle
and make music out of water,
so I sit in a box and
listen to John Mayer
to feel good about break-ups

my eyes, they never said much,
smile almost unfamiliar
nothing grew in me,
ever
today I cut my hair short
saved them locks

I went out to get drunk by myself
in the arms of a cold December night,
witnessed some things which never existed
came back 
and
slept restlessly

Ugly but clean

Impermanence
and only impermanence etched
on us
I dug about 5 feet of earth last night
I was tired
but I am scared of napalm skies

Thousand words and counting
I wish I was friends with time

fluid fissure.

And now, I sit here 
wondering where was I last night
do I mend the cheap fate
do I revel in impermanence

do I re-do the sketches?

Falling

I am starting to engage in conversations with imaginary me
slight deviant in nature,
being stretched along miles, this plastic brain
unconscious of my own presence
tells me, you should run
and maybe fly and jump outside the earth -
Is that even possible?
It calls to me again, rubs my face with its chilly hands
where do I go now, what do I do?
The numbness is free,
as frivolous as it gets,
I cannot hold myself down

Counting the atoms to the precise number
a shrill voice in vacuum dissolves us
all down into what sand we are
It is stunningly liberating.
Where do I go now, what do I do?

Fools in love

Wish I could bake your heart 
and eat it

Why does the world call lovers ridiculous,
maybe rightly so
but why?

don't forgive, don't get a tattoo
don't be passionate
just get me rosa centifolia 
everyday
for the rest of your life

Dead in trains

Such a rush 
to scrape my presence off the highway,
highway so calm, refusing,
choosing me over that crew 

accept your shame
while I ride my train in peace,
sitting there quite irresistible
don't come over here, don't make me look into your eyes
your heart is maligned
so much so it reeks of dead
but the dead does not care
just like I don't.

Champagne Supernova

Can't remember the last time I danced
but I'm drinking tonight,
drinking to the sight of a free sky --

Who thought I could look at the sky from my window

All these girls missing the sight of all these boys
when will the pain end?
