Every part of me is giving in.
Calling it a
year, a lifetime.
Saying their goodbyes
I am killing myself right
now. I feel off and wrong
and the conviction that used to
swim in my veins
has been drained.
My muscles lack energy
my brain stimulation
and my soul is all out
of inspiration.
My heart is well, in love,
driving every other part
of me
insane.
My mouth is dry
and not from any wine
but from my mundane way.
I can't think
of anything new to
say.
Just do it. Jump.
The platform
The cliff
Off your ten story building
Just do it.
Oxys are in the last drawer, two bottles of wine in the fridge.
DO IT
DO IT
DO IT
Just do it
Your ex-boyfriend's razor is still by the bathtub.
Just do it.
So the catchphrase goes.
Need a little inspiration?
Want to get a little creative?
Beat yourself to death.
Bruise your face, crack your skull on a concrete wall.
Let's go traditional housewife-style. Head in the oven.
Or historical classic. Hanging in a barn.
Find a gun, bring it to your temples.
You can do anything you put mind your to.
So the catchphrase goes.
Just do it.
Drag along your guilt, pain, anger and shame.
Do it.
Need a little inspiration?
Even if it feels bigger than you, it cannot be because it is a product of your mind.
satisfaction presents itself
in an unorthodox fashion
it slurs and burps, strips and teases
binges and purges.
tripped over the wire-thin
line that separates carelessness from happiness.
(you, too, would have slipped)
ego defender. i never lose. i've seen these cards, played this game and made the same bets.
(a slap across the face. a red burning mark. but i wanted the spanking
on my
behind.)
left, right.
black? white?
maps folded, kept close to the heart.
seeking, always. seeking
see, king.
no! queen.
a queen. with a red cape, majestic eyes
and a leather whip.
things look different from the top, elusive dominance.
Motivation?
to lay an egg, and let you hatch it.
bruised, calloused, ink stained fingers
variation of words that hum the same movements.
the way the paper feels against my shriveled hands,
the clicks the keys scream
but mostly for the sensation
oh! oh! deeper penetration!
for(e)[word]play, to get my fix, an endless desire to find tranquility.
i am, and will always remain hunched over a puzzle that will not negotiate. this is mostly an obsession with its refusal to reveal itself.
