Youthful I wanted the sugar sweet
Time hurts, bathing in her every day
An appetite for ginger’s burn brightened
And wounded I covet citrus cuts in every way
Things we once craved candied
So bitterly in the way
Pleasure is such terrible pain
When needed every day
Time ossifies the breath to sighs
And how quick the rot wrapped round my grin
She shapes our spines to infinity signs
Amazing grave, how sweet and soon to be devoid of sin
Deja vu my oxbow until then
Pray disease of memory to begin
A salty restlessness in which to swim
I remember being a different person again
I used
To be
So full
Of details
That way
That I grew up
Grew inside
Of me
What tastes compelled our beastly sires
Raised appetites for line division
Seeded roots for bough breaking salvation
And still dance upon the salivation of my tongue?
The sun no wider than her glass of wine

birds fly by
round my eyes
bide their time
by and bye bye
just fake it till you break it
hold me under
under water
show me pictures
of the slaughter
we waited for the answer
the city gave us cancer
just fake it till you break it
that love of mine
so saccharine
she needs hectares
of nectars
to satisfy her mind

Been burning up at night
Look what you’ve done to me
I was waiting to confess
Before my eyes
For a sunset to match the light you hide
It was there upon the cold salt flats
A vision revealed I was certain
A train on the horizon,
it were pulling back a curtain.
You told me, “It’s ok. You’re 29.
There aren’t many firsts left for you.”
God knows how right you are.
However:
You should know that:
I wanted to take your fingers
And push them into my chest and
Self-destruct my apparatus
And last word haunt you with,
“There’s a first time for everything”.
