poor dreamers in a world
where dreams are sold,
we are autumn's acid tears and
we are one and we are none.
i, am you - you are not me and
our reflections don't match. i am not
here but your face still shows.
breezes stand still. i, the
child of nature, listen to what
nobody has to say - the silence

what is it to love? for Lizzy.
Softly, ever so softly,
the piano is played,
by a soul, gotten lost in the music,
in every single note,
in the sound of its beauty.
how elegant a piano is, when
keys pretend to be your spine and
my fingers play the
lucid movements,
reaching your heart and
stealing a part so that you can never
leave me.
I get up,
floating almost soundlless
across the room.
back to you,
beautiful words, I thought
weren't meant to be said because they sounded
so untrue.

Prada, our new shiny armor,
we walk down postmodern streets where
poison rules, from origins we don't know
(and can't point out on a map)
run through with the hiss of a serpent those lowlifes
chose for us, thinking one day they
too, could get shiny armor for
themselves.
and we don't know
who to say yes for and
who to say no except those guys that
totally salivate on ya, like when you're all dancin' and
popped the ex and he comes all rubbin onto you, ew
how cheap, what a creep and
i feel so small again

i'm a faded graphite

scrapped voice
rips through a cloud of
newborn consciousness to keep me silent -

you are ruffled hair and a piece of deserted skies.
there is no
time, for you. only the
words you've forgotten
in languages you don't understand,
between dilapidated dreams and
broken castles.
you're the wolf and
the rabbit.
the truth will save you but you
don't want to admit that
you're the naked walls
trying to inhale the stars but filling your lungs with
cigarettes,
you're no different
sky, crystal clear, gazes deep inside darkened corners of
our minds - the
sea wanders, a girl looking away,
through pebbles,
fear of growing old,
children's sand castles, aren't there anymore
impervious shields and
covered words.
footprints in the sand,
how they dissolve slowly and
how they try not to vanish completely -
and how they do, eventually.
i slip my feet into yours,
the warmth of a winter sun and
your skin, i want to believe -
i forget all the beautiful words i
found for you and promised my
self not to -
i think they went down a sewer in a foreign town.
i sing as a record player stuck
in the same tune, over and over -
same notes beneath same words
in the same sincerity.
i'm a record player and a black woman murmurs
through my words, and i feel home - she whispers a
tune of a broken loneliness. the type you find in the corners in
crowded streets. on the desk next to the window in a classroom.

i'm a grey bird in a blue sky. i'm envious of all the
