Nobody's Tune

Maybe nobody 
Will exhume
These bleached bones
Reconstruct these limbs
With tendons made
Of melodies
Maybe nobody
Will bless
This desert heart
Resurrect a pulse
With rhythms made
Of kindness

Gold star
Dykecycle loyalty card
Just collect nine stamps
And your tenth fuck is free
But if you've ever
Kissed a boy
You're not allowed 
In the club
You can watch from
The sidelines
But you'll never be 
One of us

Exegesis

Make a prayer
Out of my ribs
Make an offering 
Of my spine
To the benevolence
Of silence

Flames

Tongue starved of kisses
Feasting on loneliness
Fire eating
Feet bleeding
Ripe for sunshine

Inked In

Storytelling skin
Lovelorn secret scars
Hidden in plain sight
Tattooed code

September Haiku #3

Double negative
A meeting of sadnesses
Reading each other

Sacred/Profane

You found me
Where the sacred
Meets the profane
Peeled me back
To the bone
And expected me
To stay
Put a blade
To my throat
And made me
Take the blame
For all the lies
You believed
For all the treasures
That you thieved
And now you
Rake my name
Through the dirt
But you're blinkered
So full of shame
And you think that
I'm the one 
Who broke us
But it was you
Who choked us
So take your
Insecurities
And your gossip
Take your
Immaturity
And your toxic
Tongue right back
To before I knew you
I see right through you
You were a playboy
I was a decoy
You found me
Where the sacred
Meets the profane
Peeled me back
To the bone
And expected me
To stay
