Apart from What Parts


“I don’t want a single sound,”
She said.
Arms crossed underneath the banging machine.
“Just give me something natural, you know, pound for pound.”
“Something away from these hunched over fiends,”
“who scrape in the dark.”
“Feeding on wires with blinded remarks.”

“I just want a single world,”
She said.
Her thoughts thought through, nice and thorough.
“A place where a girl can be one girl.”
“Removed from things that keep my imagination burrowed.”
“A life that never has to part.”
“A place where I don’t have to stop and start.”

“I could take a single moment,”
She said.
Under the light diffused by all these things.
“You know, the simple stuff.”
“The pleasure that doesn’t need to build wings,”
“to reach something that could be enough.”
“Something unrefined, not manufactured, something rough.”

From Truth













Nobody can see the world like you
So let it go
Nobody beyond the creation of your dreams
Nobody you know

Every ash
Every burning ember
In the sky that lasted for a minute
Reaches your heart
Your mind
A unique line
Leading far beyond within it

So let it go
Let it tell
Who you are
The subjective truth of an object
And the objective truth of sealed bars
That kill the hard fallacy of realness

On Me















Stand on me
Out but not beneath
Mixed within
My polished kin
More than we deplete
On the dried up surface of this Earth

Look on me
Inside but from the top
Where I thought
Lives were fought
Until the rushing stopped
Just like the opposite of birth

Fall on me
On top but without the knowing
Shifting round
A placeless sound
Where the dry erosion’s flowing
Behind the dried up shores of here
