1. I ESCAPE HOME

compound heart fractures resemble
washroom sink fixtures                       (leak)
((you would NEVER have known from watching))
    IT IS just.              ...enough to trick me back?

we are
all grown up
we are
all thrown up

I can confess
and make such a nice mess
in my
god -less
God Bless
2. I GATHER STONES

to rock flesh
put an end to my unholy stop-quest
and drop mesh

there’s nothing left / bereft / snare me up in a blood-vine net / head full of mysteries that I just won’t get / don’t sweat / even when the drops get / tracing designs / with intricate lines / while ultraviolet shines

                                                         dead in my tracks,
everything lacks                        ...so pick up the slack and unwrap?
3. I LIKE FIRE

…and burning things / especially my mistakes and dreams with wings / sirens sing, so soft and low / but they won’t see it coming when their island blows / check me out children, I lit the fuse / don’t think anyone will blame me for killing my muse / shine these shoes, got a long way to run / and if my temperature is high then I’ll just blame the sun / sometimes I feel like I spoke up too soon / but the face in my mirror’s wrinkled like deflated balloons / an’ tellin’ me / I gotta stop sellin’ me / so short that my list price is like “hell, he’s free”.

Sky high Fly by
I Try -I lie I fry- I “Bye”
(then I wonder why)
a shy guy, wish that I could just erase
mario’s chuckin’ his lovely turnips in my face
RE-find and… UN-wind:
BE kind and RE-DE-fine time lines.
Sudden life needs to catch its breath;
The only wreck this doesn’t resemble is death.

4. I CHASE WIRE

…are you resurrecting things that never died?
