UNDER

UNDER

they* trying to pull me_

under_

the lovers_ & the thieves_
the back biters^

they* trying to sm other me
in my own weakness es_
my need for sex and glory^

like snakes and arrows
they slither and shoot_
never under/standing I went_

under_ 

a long time ago_
& their lures have little power
over me
or my de ad body^

MY LIFE

MY LIFE

this IS my life_
up all night_ co-opted
by my own bl__d_
se eking pe ace
but getting NO relief^

sometimes_
I want to move
{NORTH} to
Mad-a-was-ka_
far from the heat
& my troubles^

& if my own bl__d
de ceives me a gain_
I* jus jump higher__
into the aurora borealis^
