songs from somewhere

"loneliness"

is okay

i loved her then

and i love her now

put milk in the fridge

and give love to a cow

dream all the dreams

and when you wake

say "wow"

Raven Feels

Orange

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, I hate this color:)

from the couldn't write to the couldn't sleep
almost questioned the revenge from the read
to have the crumbled skin kiss the red
the lost bitten nails got teared and fed
pastel in capital letters on sand
the cruel wave washes in no clock hand
an orange flee for your life
leave a trail to follow and strive

Field of view

You gave me enough space
You gave me enough time
For me to finally realize
You were never going to be mine

Graft

little

Graft

It's probably somewhere
Under couches and stairs

Hiding issues

Splitting hairs

That kinda thing
Look at me
I'm hurting

It's not there.

Childhood

Childhood

I put stockings on my head and robbed the corner store for gum

I ran down the train tracks naked with just my sneakers on

I went into a church and smoked a cigarette
Put it out in the holy water
Something I'll never forget

I stole wine and brandy from my mom
Decided I would tie one on
But ended up ******* the bed instead

I was a dreadful mess by the age of 10
Should have seen it coming then

My disco man

Nomadic poet

My disco man

The days may merge together
But youve made the best mushed together memories for me
"Might have wasted all his money
But he's never been a waste of time"

Disco man by Remi Wolf is my soul right now

Being literal

Being literal

I had a thought
says it was my conscience, mine alone.
I asked it was it worth a thought.

I got a sense it was
prepaid.

On second thought I left it here,
having thought some things once,
it is easy
to think it
at a distance
in a reading being thinking as I am.

In joying impossible proofs appearing
