Sundial 03:29
Look at me burnt by the sun, I laugh it off, and glance at the clock My gaze is interrupted by my shadow. What is this spell? Will it wear off? My silhouette cast on woodgrain panels serves to remind me of my time, yet I choose to sit Idly by, and cry, with a star shining on me
2.
Emeralds 04:10
Oh, I want emeralds, I want your hair in my hands, I want reigns on the world so I can begin to pull it behind me, to assume the role of some deity, My hand will shine, but I don't want you to see it, Your hand in mine is necessary to shield my eyes from blinding passersby so you can live where you can see, where you coexist with me, and all of these soon-to-be corpses. They were in my way. They are in my couch now. Be careful where you sit down (sit down on the deepest couch). Oh, they say emeralds To find myself I broke my jaw, so now I can't speak, but I can swallow the world.

Cloud Coffee 03:45
Coffee

Chlorophyll 05:14
Oh, we grow when we are green a glowing garden growing in each other's great limbs, or grape vines, dangling, strangling, suffocate me so you can breathe, Oh, Chlorophyll in me, green as the emerald daggers that we lead into each other's solar dreams (emerald daggers thrust deep) when we mean (Oh, when we mean) when we mean to swallow our tongues (to swallow our tongues) Oh, the ones on which we feast (Oh, the ones on which we feast) We grow, and we grow apart We grow We grow, and we grow apart

Why won't you wave when I'm flailing about? (Why would I y0ss it at that sorry d00bah?) My frustration anticipated infrared (I'd make a fool out of myself) I hate waving to my 'maginations of a friend out of hands What might my hand must have to flip my brain off anyway? My tattered hide exposed My existence exfoliated until pestilent extermination life is a tournament: single elimination but my own hand slipping from a gated precipice remains an animated presence My hand’s present not taken not reciprocated just left there out of my right mind hushed by your side loudly my need to stay sound silences my screaming Where are the emeralds in my eyes? It’s winter I can’t photosynthesize Viscous Black, beneath what lacks, fellow fingers tactile and tough, a hand so roughly blown out of glass remains alone the onyx syrup of trust, too hot to touch my silhouette erects with shadowed lust

about

This is an exploration in maximalism.

So often do I make too much out of very little.

Wave to thy neighbor.
