love often deaf
no antennae scream from deep within
no bliss to contend with
whatever as long as there’s someone to do your best with
to fall through the chair as it were
on the porch
with no clothes on
love often def
its just you and the alone
a poem of a you being you being loved
going to the place that only we know about
tie becomes a blindfold
and hands cut the holes
that no one else can follow
it could be that love
only leads to tears
once a day a crying spell overflew the flybye
i don't care, i don't care, i don't care
Love Often Def
i don’t care i don’t care i don’t care
as long as there’s somebody to lose your breath with
it could be enough to stay under bathwater as long as you can with your eyes open wide and you’re burning with shampoo your hands have gone raisin
i remember when you were a grape LOVE OFTEN DEAF
i don’t care i don’t care i don’t care
as long as there’s somebody to do your best with
I CRY AS THE PLANE TAKES OFF
not for quiet little birds
not for television’s words
not for shark teeth i concur but yes
for the proper creation of worlds
NO NOT FOR TEACUPS IN THE BURBS
PERHAPS FOR WHALES WHO SWIM IN HERDS
of carp
not for the 100 strings of joanna newsom’s harp
aren't you tired of people who
only take photos of themselves?
lets slice trees into books
lets hide treasures in nooks
let's feel something that
a camera can't capture
smiling over your slides in deep reality
on a stage walk around on a balloon
that is something worth being born for
special hands to make you feel sweaty
and a hundred boxes filled with silver wheels and safety pins
and cooking magazines deathly still windchimes and
and unanswered texts and flat out regrets
Oh, terrible, terrible regret.
The answer was on the table but
After I saw it I forgot to look...
suddenly I became the abyss that everyone was looking at
there’s a lot of life watched by sunsets
and life is often watching sunsets lots
o girl
how can i miss you
its just me and the alone
these are just the things a person writes
i’ll die in a double un-tundra
i don’t care i don’t care i don’t care
LOVE OFTEN DEAF
