Raw eggs
I tried beautiful,
I tried pristine,
I was no good at it
Iβm not neat within
Iβm not βcleanβ
Even externally, I cannot master
Clearing every bit of clutter
Iβm raw, like an egg
Itβs not pretty to have a cracked head
But if I donβt
Iβm practically dead
As inanimate and detached as my wooden bed
To be raw is
Painful,
Ugly,
Messy,
But itβs rich with fee...

Bigger than you
You should know better
Than to think youβre alone in this universe
Youβve seen breath come from nothing

Now I write their songs
I tweet along
Everything I did, I did do
It still was
Even if it no longer is
Whatever I am
I still am what I was
Even if I no longer am
Youβre right
I was right and now Iβm left
But the person I was hasn...

Fingernails
My hands are patterned by ambitions,
these lines on my skin are wishes,
palms marked like the sky after a shooting star
and shining when they interlace with your fingers,
your skin's wrinkles and crinkles.
The crevices of our skin do not match or meet
the way coloured paths on a map synchronise and intercross,
reaching destinations.
We are separate pieces of meat
but
