Lake that glistens tame to the bare eye.
When you come across it suffocates.
Although it's beautiful and melancholic,
there is a darkness surrounding it.

My Dripping Machine,
keni Dec 2021
It's the end
Turning gears
and engines are burned
How can I dream?
Valor you have, to
stand in front of me.

I scream,
you're in the valley,
almost out of spite.
I can live in the sink.
It's cold, and the droplets
of water hit my forehead.

And when the snow sticks,
the water, ice, crack the empty thoughts.
In the middle my cranium.
Making space in
this place to play.

Your valley is lonely,
but the air surrounding you.
The mist and fog.  
In fields of ***** gold.
The sun kisses you
as it sleeps early.

It ate me,
and I gauge my eyes.
My presence is minute,
and at fault
the droplets are insignificant
to what perjurer turned to be.

oblivious to my words
your sleep is the same
and on days the fields aren't ***** gold,
You prance around.

Naranja
keni Feb 2022
Vanity of the boys,
cascading tears and
the hair that moves
along orange zest
and spiral ends.

Although the sun shines
through one side
of the everlasting,
orange. We move,
we rotate.

The faces change.
Your shoulders hunch.
But the moon was
once a plump orange.

Hangers
keni Dec 2021
There are rocks in my shoes,
Flock of birds sparse around.
The cracks in the spruce trees,
Are homes.

Lake water, folding chairs, and nooks.
Coats, warm, wet, uncomfortable.
Panting dogs, and clocks that have hit 6
Before 5.

Taking the rage out, the lamps,
Cables tied, you.
Eucalyptus, daisies, and ***.
Your ribs,
Hanging.
And tumbling of them hit the nerves on the right foot.

Although I might’ve drowned
I can assure you
That now I can breathe  
And the air is crisp.
I think that I am good
Finally without you boiling the water around me.
I am good without
You.

Heavenly- scent laundromat
keni Jan 2022
Gates that seemed too short.
Woman who speaks
on your behalf I came to see.
The bone colored outside.

Tinted windows and a mist
Of your washed hair.

We walked as three
As we waved goodbye to
The mellow tree.

And when were alone
You'd laugh when your
neck tingled

Jammed and dammed
Days before school.
Longing for it to go away.

Heavenly scent Laundromat.
I am not in the picture yet
true cicadas were quiet.

Stick around your mouth.
Trails of aroma smolder you hair.
Not tangled, and not fixed.

Who do you know,
back that carries trees
and maybe the history.

Blackmail, slick
slippery goon,
who stalked her moon.

Strange days, those
I found out,
that followed gaze of  
psychedelic rock was not
an excuse to follow.

Stanger is the fool,
the danger,
going home paranoid
what a lovely smell,
dammed.

how to be wanted
like
curves sculpted by an artist
a lover with a paint brush
wondering what goes wrong by sunrise
a stroke with your hand
the air so fine and heavy
as our breaths pace and dogs bark
the fence behide us
if the eyes of someone struggling to understand
how to be loved.
Drink water

Nickel shavings
keni Dec 2021
Ridges preserved to notice the value of you.
Beggars on the street have sweet words.
Lure you in to give them you.

Days pass, and shavings of you are missing.
Flat, rustic, disharmonize.
I only see you some days.
On others you are passed around.

Taproots that grow in me.
Ink on paper, sitting in the corner.
Walking in and out.
A gasp,
A glance,
It's love of short time.

The maple leaf is here,
and when I watch it,
the crows watch me.
There's a breeze that I can catch
in the quicksand pit stomach of a bear.
to be a child again as I
let go, it feels like I'm old
But my birthday passed and the chains made noise
but oh how nice to finally see the light,
in a never-ending maze I feel happy.

Wife
keni Dec 2021
I was born and my role was determined
To love I was capable of,
I knew the change before it occurred.
When the rooster woke me up I knew,
The dishes, the table and someone’s lunch.

One day,
I’ll have to conform myself
to the role I was born into.
Oh, the identity of me will be gone.  
And I will form someone
From the womb.

I’ll be grateful that he’ll come to me,
When the silver of the night reflects on the pond.
Next door everyone’s asleep.
I’ll be there next to kitchen.
Like a doll.

When I die I’ll regret it all
A life I couldn’t choose and
People I ended loving,

If an age to indulge is a santifictation
then what prohibits the love for war
the children that cry in the hands
of those with lack of affection
What is the difference of a man who starves and
the ego of one who fasts

Baby hairs
keni Jan 2022
The sounds that hit my eardrum,
requiem on water,
and I listen through the night to ease my thoughts.
because to dream again is a never-ending goal.

To go insane is short for my needs:
It's the true that I paddle alone,
I'm not meant to be next to you

The long curtains reveal!
Scenery of my thoughts
Where I hid for the winter a year later,
The next door neighbors and the dogs.

The cold makes our breaths smoke us inside in this january night.
The time has consumed me,
that time,
I wish I had with you
but let's start with forever.

give me the other key
keni Oct 2023
When I leave I find the peace
in a world where I choose
where to be how to be
I have yet to settle.

When November comes around
I can only think of death.
The arms of faith and the past.  
One can fear the endless nights
but I've found that fearing the truth
of one that has lost its other fragment
is the more excruciating death.

When the only thing left is is looking at
the remaining pieces of a constant.
Something that will never change
But I tie it to things I can't get a grip on.

so tell me now, if it can only be
when the overwhelming feeling of the night
takes over.
With cold front,  a kiss from a stranger,  and wandering mind can end this bending of time inside of my womb.

No, I gave up.
Concept that I cant swallow
Because it swallows me.
Like the time I'd ask for
Things and the answer was
To think older.

Now, I still think the same.
A child who cant fend for themselves,
or
Speak in manner,
or
Right
or
Securely attached to the
Rope of ideas and hopes.

When the music
Is over and the repeating
Screeching sound of
The needle on the record I
Ask,
"Selfish to ask
for it to stop?"

Thorns are stuck onto
My foot as I walk.
And I am a forest
and I am the fire.

Lack of oxygen on a Tuesday afternoon, still forest burns.

insecure
keni Feb 2024
Looking at pictures i saw
what i thought could’ve been me.
I have this exact feeling over and over.
Strangers and passersby
yet i question the sanctity of it all.
A slight hint of difference in the shape, a
slight improvement on the face.
Maybe the way her hair falls.
It runs so deep now,
but how could i have known
i was next to be destroyed inside
by a man that can’t hide his most ugly side.

Things you should leave alone
I can't tell you what I've done.
I need someone to tell me what to do
what to eat, what to like, when to like, how to like.

as I circle around the circle of gas
twenty times, I am still as lost.
Please don't have a written response.

enjoy your life with her.
