Amplified

Electric shock of .you're alone. sits stinging,
radiating panic of a time past,
new born, still unable to crawl,
dying of deprivation,
dependent on the world of your touch.
Engulfed, this is my reality.

This. Meshed with a watery clean container,
inviting this process,
a safe place to feel unsafe.
My entire body brimming with buzz,
This electricity feels terrorizing, traumatic.
I feel dangerous here,
like i could break my neck convulsing at high-voltage.


I am like a fish, still alive,
while parts of me cook at high temperatures.
How terrifying, to witness
the transformation of one's own flesh.

I switch to the widest channel:
comforting Mother, stroking my head.
The more courage i walk with,
the closer She caresses me.

Its All About Timing

I'd hate to lose you, but its about the timing,
Pressed petals on a silver lining.

Smile and wave hi.bye
A terrifying fly by
The clouds here zoom past
My face at an alarmingly fast pace.

Incapable Tuesday shows up on Thursday,
And patterns collide, midair.
Rearranged heart pangs.
Clarified chaos, shocks like
A jujube stuck in the throat.
Keep your thoughts up where I can see 'em.

Shouldn't gifts be fun to give?
Like a bright fuchsia dino in cellophane.
