today i’m a painter

strange poem like thing…. the entry is trying to alchemise somethings i’d like to mourn, or how it feels to mourn, to purge, to feel the pressure of deeply painful memories welling up inside, how the moon rises them out of my stomach and how i want to run to a lower tide

i haven’t touched a brush

like fr in a while

and it’s taking a toll on me

am i a dandelion

picked to be fed

to the hare?

tortoise walks

a swarm of micro ants

around my body

and i’m going

to ruin everything,

aren’t i?

baby let me run

let me run

into the sunshine

that twinkles

on the moonlit channel

passing dark figures

who are smiling

and i can’t see

for a while

passing them really fast,

a red light flashes

in my face

and they get smaller

and smaller

until they fade away

now i’m sitting here

near to u more

now than ever

and my palm reader

says i should be good

at physical comedy

and my therapist

missed our last session

but i

should be

fine

accepting my place accepting my place

thats what the possum told me to say

coercing me from the inside of my mouth

like the god of abraham isaac and jacob

then they all played dead

in a silly way

then all of my

cotton fell out

i told priestess

that’s the where the pains is

it feels

like i’m creating

more

confusion

its clear

conform to stay alive

remember how beautiful..

hard to face,

many things,

spitting

daggers

calloused

shaking

a shame

dandelions cold and closed up

in the night

whose fate

Turns into wishes

that’s why the hurricane hit so hard that year

im sure

on a shape

on a ship

and that ship is

good enough for me

as my friends remind me

my crew my crew

that’s to see

when i close my eyes
