Her last suicide.
Others had been rehearsals
practised in dark rooms.

the smell on your breath told me Exodus
the existence of us on the precipice
right where the left side chest is
the edge of your lust told me Exodus

a band of the 80s, a mere decade older
a book of the Bible, 2 inches from your shoulder
you came up and said "i'd like to get to know ya"
i made a little space for a supernova

the usage of ink on a body of sin
a skin that wasn't so paper-thin
i took my ink to paper for a spin
you took yours straight to the skin

the color of the smoke told me Exodus
a far exit away from the darkness
a fine walk ahead of our Genesis
the edge of your lust told me Exodus

I'm losing my flow.
I'm losing my rhyme.
I'm losing my voice.
I'm losing my time.

i stay up late,
to twiddle the chill
that hooks onto strands of hair,
tugs them into a maze,
then expects you to find your way.

i stay up late,
to search with the silence
so my grief might melt faintly
with the remaining rumbles
that drown out this ****** world.

i stay up late,
to kiss the ember
that sails from insomniac chimneys.

i stay up late,
to see beauty
i've never found
between the dishonest daylight.

i stay up
until dawn rips into existence.
my last poem was about night too, oh well

For someone so beautiful,
You sure are a ****.

We scoff at smokers ******* in stone
Yet we've held plastic cigarettes of our own
Nightcaps of cyanide to end Hell's day
A field one at that, while we wandered away
From higher thoughts and chanting gulls
Now poisoned air does fill our lungs
Singin' Glory Glory to emporiums that sell
All that we won when the lottery ***** fell.

Making progress
Can sometimes be hard
to start.
Especially when you not sure,
What to progress,
With no grades to raise,
and no friends to impress;
life is pretty simple when,
all you do is
work and ***.

So little depends
upon

This physical
object

And this here
too

or even this
really

Alacrity is what she exudes,
a passion for greatness,

and she has it,
it,
sublimity,

too many distractions,
too much derision,
or she would already be so paramount,
a DaVinci with the brush,
or a Lagerfeld with the needle,

her beauty is Merovingian,
so humble it vamps me,
me,
a lucky man,
electrified by her words,
and waiting for her touch,
