Even though the bones were getting sharper, the skin getting longer and the shards getting taller, she desperately wanted the home made family, the large fire that she stoked for the small circle that fueled her for what had seemed like lifetimes to know that she would never take them for granted & hadn't. They had held her up, wiped away the sheets of sad that were only kept at bay by THEM, hugged her when others were afraid to speak to her, gave her a purpose and a reason. A reason to...... She would die for them, and maybe was; either way she wanted them to know that they were the ones. The ones that would be forever. This time and every time. Thank you.

Those Stickers Hurt...

Up. Down. Turned. Examined. Under intense observation, scrutiny morphs into a judgement posing as concern or curiosity; depending on the depth of woods said "observer" is stalking. The haze that this imagined projected dream produces is as freeing as it is lugubrious. I don't know what it is that you think you lost that you will reclaim in me. I am more hidden than you. It's a series of shards. A waning sleep that wants nothing more than secret light nestled in gray days to last. Not with you, but the one that's there to stay. That was never you and certainly the expectation that you house for its potential now, is futile. The best part, is that I never have to feel that static, anxious discord again. Not in this life. Still water in the cactus you emotionally devastating fascist.

If they wanna be real about it, they'll bring you the ocean.

On top of a roof top under an electrified sky that rumbled with the thrill of what was previously thought to be not only the improbable, but both parties had resolved an impossibility. That being said, a walk was had. Not off the side of the building but on the solid concrete that would fuel the conversation that would last a lifetime. Who knew an ocean was portable? She had no idea. The actual transference of energy could be felt, the ramifications were unseen, but she felt herself falling right off the edge. As did her phone. Right out of her fucking pocket. Chaos ensued. Reality notwithstanding, all of the engraved muck ups, not for you, not ever, brewed into a deep & thick chrysalis that brought her not back to reality, but to the ever present fuck youatude of the situation that had a way of continuously appearing for quite some time now. Long enough for her to believe them. It was too late. She was in ever loving, swooning l o v e. There were strange occurrences, close calls, blatant displays of back to black and just plain back. Then he was there in the midst of the dust, debris & shattered memories of things no one that had ever taken a breath ever wanted to know. Waiting. Looking. Approaching. Embracing. He brought her the ocean. Again.

I changed my Mind.

So one day all of the things that seemed to be set, maybe not in stone, but certainly viable none the less, sort of, just melted. A sufficient fire had been stoked, made its way into the dark that had held the tension and misconstrued ideologies for what seemed like an eternity and vanished. In it's place grew realizations that had always been dormant but never allowed to surface. It made her fearless in a way that she had previously believed was only reserved for those of the dawn, but came to find, they were also for the wolves of winter. She saw that the painstaking waves of contentment deprived years had been in close succession to one another for so long, due to the necessities for these truths to rise. It isn't in one day that they appear, but over a series of time that is on a pace unknown to the receiver, but they ARE here. No more nickels echoing in sad cups, no more vein stopping to subdue her children's absence, no more bottoms of things without bottoms but wrangling with the idea that there might be in this one. It all came to a halt, when she saw that winter was in fact not forever and there were mountains of glass that one was trying to move through to get to her. She didn't know anyone was looking. Her person had discovered her again. And for a long time, rain had never sang to her in the way that it did then. A wind telling of encapsulated fatalistic events that had to happen in order to get here was on its back. She knew that maybe not only should she live, but deserved to after the smoke. The apex of the triangle had been appointed to his care, and it was like then never was and would never be as good as right now. She knew it was him, because air was meant to carry something, and she chose fire. She knew she would never know the cold again.

The Devoid are making a Pilgrimage to my Medicine.

Ever notice how some folk always think they can wait it out; leave a rusty busted & most certainly un taut canoe out in the water, just to see, see if there's any bite left? There's hole in it love. There's no dyke big enough in the world to fill it, particularly, when it's docked in my yard. Perhaps the answer, is to simply stop stealing my force that can't be reckoned with & feigning ownership to it. I have earned my keep under the soft night & am in little to no danger of losing my medicine. I suggest you stop leaning so hard on socially acceptable memes that some how translate to your virtual happiness, promulgating a way of life that is foreign to you and have no business treading through in the first place. I wish truth upon you in a way unbeknownst to you as of now. If that doesn't gel, you can always go back to being a bottle blonde, buying spanx & or Jordans respectively, planting fictitious seeds where no soil lies and last but not least; if you can't stand in my light, certainly don't hide in my shadow.

Dear Da Nv Tli

It's a gnawing feeling, yeah? Like being suspended from moments you didn't understand then, so they were erased via heroin or otherwise at the time, but not really, now their here again in this muffled loquacious haze that keeps you at bay from falling in but it's not enough. Where you were, I don't know. I know the endless dicks, rigs, blood and floors didn't provide any of the shade this suspension allows a peek at. I wish you hadn't left, but I understand, you run with black horses. Making sense of this without you is difficult and I need you, but you're not with Elisi at the moment, there, but not there, she said so. I m not slipping but not sure this is an endeavor that I can stomach for a long period, however, there's not a choice it's accompanied by either. It's all deadly. Thank you for sending him. He's doing it. Wado da-nv-tli.

Lighting the way.

I had seen them before, creaking in on the splintered floorboards, in between flame licks that somehow never seem to touch me. I knew I wasn't like them and that my fate would be one ripe with choice, not of a series of mistakes that I actively participated in. They seemed to volunteer for such things and ends. It was and is not in my nature to allow atrocities to stay and make a home, not for too long anyway. Folks tend to make their choices so final without any thought to the groundlessness than can take and does nest in their already packed psyches. It is as fascinating as it is sad and am glad that I can choose not to get my ticket punched. The delicate orb that once embodied the soothe has expired for them. As they march into what not to do again and again, they are beacons for me and I appreciate every last one of them. To the slaves of vastness in all the wrong ways, thank you. You pave the way clear. Wado.
