White Tube Nuke

I miss the smell of Autumn;
Dirt, leaves, candle wax, and bath soap.
This is the maple intermission.
Seasons change but the order stays the same.
I turn over every leaf on every tree,
But I forget to mow the lawn.

Winter Pillow

Value is a coin and you are porcelain.
"White?" "Gold."
We put love in boxes and seal the exits with ribbons.
The hammer slips from my hands
Nail and tact between lips.
I won't fix what won't exist.
The cafeteria empties;
I watch coffee warmth leave.

Goodnight Nocturnal

Replaced my lip balm with superglue
Saving this last kiss for a stranger
Press finger tips and palms together
Like tomorrow is two years from now
Spur of the moments get me stones in my pocket
Spent the alcohol on cleaning wounds,
and restocked the bottles with listerine
Turning heads risks breaking necks
Thread the needle with your tongue
This is homemade loneliness

I am a fairy;
Don't believe in me and I won't exist.
Why break my wand when you can break my spirit faster?
Today is bad luck only if you checked the date
I've got the calendar glued to my wrist,
Crossing the days off until I remember why I'm here.

I'm making wishes on your eyelashes.

"but it will."

Press my cheek against the bathroom tiles
The bubbles break and dissipate
Detergent for my insides
Soak and tame
You can't clean me without erasing me
Blink away the sting
Watch your love stain the floors
Tell me this disappoints you
And I'll restart the voice in my head
You are. "I am
Breaking the habit."
