Pen Leak

I took things out of proportion today

And I realized that the sky was a starving

mouth that sucked everything up up and up

It even eats the smoke

I wanted to be hungry like that, for once

But I'd just as soon bury my wants into the

kind of air that melts with summer



I couldnt breathe. And when I cant breathe, my

system starts to shut down

My eyes became a ceiling vent

and then I ripped them out

So I stood in the kitchen, facing the window

frozen. numb. the master of all voids, my heart made

of sidewalk chalk that will wash away consistently with

the rain

So what could you possibly say that I havent already twisted

around in my tip dented fingers?

Don't flatter yourself with the thought that you could make

me believe that the sky never gets full and eventually spits

everything in its guts back out



it does.

fuck thy heart.
