damnit

I've been falling for a long

Long 

Time. 

I finally hit the ground, just now,

Just over here. 

Pieces of my skull lie

Around me. 

Some of them are shaped like

Hearts and

Lungs and

Brains and

Isn't that funny? 

I wonder why I don't collect them. 

Why can I not 

Will my legs to move so when I 

Pick them up maybe

They'll become a body again. 

I lie on the sidewalk and 

Roll my eyes at 

the people 

Passing by. 

They'll notice the blood on their

Shoes 

Only enough to be disgusted. 

I try so hard not to be

Inconvenient. 

Damnit. 

If only I could move. 

i have never breathed

I have never breathed before tonight;
The breath of the earth soothes my throbbing lungs.
The spinning world smashes through the universe
and I with it, dumbfounded, a useless tongue.

My insides feel vast, a passing match for the sky.
I think they may even be black, black as the back
of the throat of the man that has the world in his mouth.
He must have been there for ages, for ages past.

To live with the stars would be paradise;
A dream of a life in the loam never won anyone.
I believe that the trees understand better than we,
they recycle our breath as we ask questions.

heat haiku

All day long I have
been frying like a hot pan.
Bacon with regrets.

I should not have worn jeans today.
