These Days

by BT

These days my body is filling up with light,

I can’t even help it

It’s happening without trying

There seems no room for darkness

My feet are extending

white roots

are growing ever

like a pair of tubers in rich soil

The universe is funneling itself through me

There is black hole forming ab...

Postcard Perfect

by BT

Post Card Perfect

It was New Years Eve

when you dipped me.

You leaned in for a kiss.

I should have known then that eventually you'd drop me.

And

the snow fell all around

a sailor and a nurse.

After the war had ended,

she stopped bandaging his wounds,

he bellied up to a bar

the photographed just faded away.

Just so You Know

The day you left,

it rained for three fucking days

and man,

you still wouldn't wash away.

So I prayed out loud to the girls

with more grass

than that green grass

that we used to make love in.

I waited there sea sick,

in sea of emerald green

swaying back and forth

all around me.

Just then, the air p...

Meridian Lines

by BT

Meridian Lines

I have been opening the meridian lines

Gathering knowledge

Stretching the lines of communication like the marks on my hips

Gaining greater understanding,

of who the hell I may actually be

I am collecting all the pieces of myself

Bits from here and there

I am putting them back together again

with tiny much needed kisses...

Underwater Creature

by BT

I am an underwater creature

much faster than yourself

I am smoothed out

by the waves

your words a thousand dull lead sinkers around my neck

I can not hear you here

Here, I belong to no one,

not even myself

In fact, I do not exist

There is tranquility in nothingness,

no need for oxygen

or cigarettes

Clear

Joan of Arc

by BT

(part 1)

Loud, brash, sweet thing

Bring me some water to wet my whistle

For you

Love only lasts ten minutes at a time

Only this time

The time is mine

So go on over

Lay it down

Cause all your cards ain't showin

And my hands are full

I'll drop this heavy load

When words spill soft and free

Meaning what they shoul...

She Knows

by BT

The angels cum for money

The money comes from sex

The sex is last nights million dollar needle

Baby's bruised arm can't bend to stop the nose bleeds

Or fix the drippy faucet

Or fix

Or fix enough

to fix the holes in the walls

Or stop this broken shopping cart ride home.

Falling Colors

by BT

Pretty girl paints colors raw

with whole body

covered in wet white chalk

stinging the canvas with her strokes

as she bends in this hot light

On knees

you swish color up

lighting the room

song orange

in soft swift movements

canary yellow floats freely and deep red

Immortality

by BT

Imitation sugar, petroleum jelly, styrofoam,

plastic milk jugs, cockroaches,

toxic waste, photo chemicals,

silicon implants, rayon shirts,

carbon, light pollution,
true love

Your Aquiantance

by BT

A letter to all the good night

drive by boys

with their last forever kisses

that say...........

'' every little things gonna be alright"

I sit fat,

ripening

Movement growing steadily within me

can no longer stand the quickening

building in my body

My belly swollen

My tits taut

Broken Crystals

by BT

Crystals cover the ground

They sky is covered in clouds

They say that white is the color of absence

Just like the caterpillars in the spring,

eating all the pretty leaves,

you in a swift second

blow in

stealing all the color from the sky.

Gorging yourself...

Super Hero

by BT

Just so you know, I've secretly been watching your stories.

I wait till your asleep,

fully asleep,

I check.

It is then that my research begins.

Late at night with a pair of head phones and a flickering TV

...... I've come to some conclusions.

Developing super powers ...

A Ribbon Cut As Red As my Heart

by BT

The California warmth has left my bones.

Now,

old memories hang as heavy as these winter clouds,

Again,

I am consumed by thoughts of you.

Familiar smells,

bring visions of your apocalyptic smile.

And I remember why I left.

My bones feel that familiar ache

as does my heart.

Call me Phinnius, your trusted friend

and pu...
