Not Born of Man and Woman

I woke up to a loud noise
As mother, father and little father left the house to go to the super market
They are swallowed up by a big beast

The beast swallows them up and disappears
The cotton fills the air
Soaked, dripping water

The ground soaks up the water
Like a bounty
The ground got so sick that it started running, I didn't like it

As the window bursts open
I begin to shiver
Violent as a tea cup in a earthquake

When mother and father and little father came home
They saw that the window was broken
and scolded me

Father grabbed me by my chain
and dragged me through the kitchen
He let loose of my chain

I went back down into the red cellar
And I turned around as fast as I could
but father hit me with the door and I trembled backwards

Father told me that I was bad
He told me to never do it again or he'll beat me real hard
I slept that day

Our heads are round so our thoughts can change directions

Our heads are round so our thoughts can change directions
My skin is as rich as the earth's soul
My eyes are like a deep sea seized with an abyss and heaviness of a thousand untold stories
The way my spine binds at the touch of your fiddling palms
She has ran across the pavement bloody and barefoot for as long as she can remember
The way her eyes light up like the moon when the night time holds her captive
Forced to watch as the drummer boy uses her bones to make noise against the old hollow tree
She felt like a slave to his lips
When she gave herself to him, the walls collapsed
The masks fell off
And when you're that close to someone
They're free to call on your soul, at will
Whenever they're lonely means it's fixed

20 Thing I Did


When I was born, I opened my eyes
When I was almost one, I took my first step
When I was two, I used the potty
When I was three, I started pre-school
When I was 13, I had my first kiss
When I was still 13, I had my first alcoholic
When I was 15, I had my first hangover
When I was 16, I couldn't wait to be 17
When I was 17, I couldn't wait to be 18
When I was 18, I couldn't wait to be 21
When I was 21, I was happy to be legal
When I was still 21, everything I did that was illegal is now legal
When I was down, alcohol lifted me up
When I didn't need the alcohol, my books kept me sane
When I bought this jacket, I bought new pants
When I bought the left shoe, I bought a right shoe
When I was right, he was wrong
When my mom bought herself food, she always knew to buy 2
When I bought an iguana, I had to return the iguana
When I get the item in pink, I know to buy it for her in light blue
