i am proper in the way that i break things
taking flowers
the ones that you gave me
arrhythmia comes and slows
as an extended
finger pokes holes
in the soil
oh my hair and nails in the
kitchen sink
you've been chain smoking and
i keep hoping that you're hurting
one a.m. like the grinding of teeth
chewing on bugs
like a bending tree
arrhythmia comes and slows
as an extended
finger pokes holes
in the soil
oh my hair and nails in the
kitchen sink
you've been chain smoking and
i keep hoping that you're hurting
counting graves like children might pick flowers

i am made of blood and wine
mother mary jesus christ
there is a water i have tried to drown
there is a rosary
a thorn that cuts my thumb
yeah but you don't try to taste the
blood
i have always had my doubts
thighs to lips and eyes
to mouth
there is a water i have tried to drown
there is a rosary
a thorn that cuts my tongue
yeah but you don't try to taste
the blood
if i love you then i might try to kill you

i sold my mantra so i can fuck

i was gone for seven years
with ribs and teeth that made
very much like piano keys
he sees the pisces in me
and i see
the cancer birth he boxed around
his knees like christmas lights
and mostly i
i just wanna die
