reflection is licking me spitting me out like an unwanted diary entry I have become graffiti. Engraved on the inside of this bottom lip. I spill my self slip. <\/span>

Drown. Down. Own. Gone. Now. Someone…<\/span>

I\u2019m a dot now rotting over I! A blood cut in the memory clot! The other of self. Ish Ish Ish Ish! She is all fish down below. All fish down. I hook her, and fling back! <\/span>

This is what I mean by dancing           join!    join!      join! <\/span>
I am going to be to going am I            joy!      joy!       joy!  <\/span>


I walk through the grass and hands my ankles grasp. <\/span>
Underneath all the self-taking the love, it kisses, hard. <\/span>



Dust<\/span>


Here…a pearl-drop on the eyelash <\/span>
It reflects a myriad of wounds   <\/span>
Some travel with us <\/span>
Which were we born with?<\/span>

No one blink. No one let time pass without outcry.<\/span>

Voices overlap, speech turns back on someone longing      <\/span>
Voices overlap, it\u2019s over; the television speaks. Voices<\/span>

Overlap speech turns back on someone longing <\/span>
Voices overlap, it\u2019s over; the television speaks <\/span>

Is the window open? I\u2019m longing to repeat my mistakes    <\/span>
Longing to repeat    to repeat   myself      Longing to<\/span>

Repeat     to repeat myself<\/span>
Is the window open? I\u2019m longing to repeat my mistakes.<\/span>

No one blink. No one let time pass without outcry.<\/span>

We have woken into something. The midst, the mist of something. <\/span>
                                                                                       <\/span>
Choking dust        choking us.<\/span>
