Proxima Centauri



Ursa Minor

does it hurt you when you breathe ?
stink around the wallet itch
a towel was thrown between the ropes
sweat inside your eyelids
it exorcised the fire from the sky
(snakecharmer make them dance again)
it exorcised the fire from the sky
(make them itch in kerosene dance)

prepare your sleep apparatus

autopsy performed on probable cause
while you sleep
they will come and get you tonight
(so i guess this is goodnight...)

skip with elbowed sobs
your palms were soaking wet
parched in the stupor
elbowed, teach the tutor
peel the scabs
incognito with wounds
this anecdote fountain
won't dry too soon

500 times
"i must not talk out of turn"

no vents opened
but all settlements new
a second native
for deserved growth

permission to land
all systems go...
propeller snapped
decapitated while you slept
upon your pillow

inertia kisses those around me.

Heliotrope

beneath the residue of film
beneath the chemicals
that the picture split
the ouija board had
spelled its name
in tiki torches set aflame
taking rations from the ballet box
cursing like sweet tarts

increase the dosage
count back from 10

and it was written down
touching earth in a capital faunt
heat seeking gums bleeding
fingers snapping
at the catacomb stabbings
taking rations from the ballet box
cursing like sweet tarts

adhesive she said
don't stick to me

inseminating motives of lukewarm persistence
let the theives in
through the front door
let them take what they've been missing

it's as if
someone raised the
price of dying
to maximum vend again

turn slowly for maximum vend...

Metronome Arthritis

strike this match
and let loose the oven's breath
up the volume that
flirts with the UHF

swipe the magnet on the audio tape
these arsons of grand larceny
keep running...keep running in place
achilles tendon
severed from the race

quick to the throat
in this ink cartridge funeral
marble caps lock
zip code affiliate
you got a run on your pharmaceuticals
you better change it
before the night grows old

set the temperature on delete
keep running...keep running in place
let's hit the neighborhood today

you got a run on your pharmaceuticals
you better change it
before the night grows old
prescriptions filled
now cut your suit and tie cuticals
you cut your fingernails way too short

what if forensics finds the answers
what if they stole my fingerprints ?
where did i leave my book of matches ?
we'll find you...
we'll find you...

300 MHZ

in the unlikely event
that sarcasm is an unfitting dress
amnesia proletariat
amnesia proletariat
coughing up the coffins
cotton candy coated teeth
the reflection of your enamel
made no reflection in our mirror

malfunction

these pockets were clinching
all filled with fists
these decibels were rotted
in the canals of my teeth
amnesia proletariat
amnesia proletariat
sharpened on the fucking hides of men
in the full of this moon we will make amends

malfunction
whispered in the ear
300MHz

198d

this is forgiven
if the uniform fits
postponed
at the first showing
this is the tension mold
of frozen icicles
and it feels like it's snowing
you speak in tongues
tremors that warn us of ourselves

born in hearts
etched in cold
at the first showing
(walk away)

nothing bleeds the same
my travel expenses paid
postponed
at the first showing
this dance is out of rhythm
we trip on excess steps
postponed
at the first showing
you speak in tongues
tremors that warn us of ourselves

born in hearts
etched in cold
swingsets pay
the playground toll

tremors that hold us
tremors that warn us
nothing bleeds like
