Shadows spit out
gasoline and shoe paint,
write sermons with their fingertips,
spin gunslinger sympathies and
verbal pirouettes.

Literature
apostasy
before he led me like a lamb
to the altar,
he got me drunk.
take this and eat, he said,
hands on my hipbones,
soft thighs, soft sigh
for this is my body -
but he gave me no bread, only
bruises, and he gave me
new thorns for my head
and i bled
till sunday morning.
tell me:
who speaks of resurrection?
are you there,
mary magdalene?
mary, when
will easter come?
Literature
acid trip.
I stood holding back tears
like a guillotine against the wall,
praying that my heartbreak was a foreign language, that
this betrayal was a blade beneath my skin, invisible.
and in one moment I swear
I understood all the pain in the world.
I knew why I had let death roost
between my shoulder blades,
I knew why children grieved their tiny pets
and buried them in shoe boxes;
I understood mothers
leaving their children behind at parks,
I understood all those skinny boys smoking
and holding tight to women who cried,
I understood crowds with shaking hands
trying to breathe but forgetting
and trying to hit that high but missing
over and over and
Literature
Loneliness and acceptance
Am I doomed to loneliness
Or just used to be alone?
Rejected by others
Seen as a freak
I used to care
And to try to look "cool"
But these days are over now
All I need is a friend
Someone who understands me
And accepts me
For who I am
