snap your marlboro bones &
grind them into watercolors -
bay-water boy, paint your brains
on the wallpaper like a sinner's
sermon; you won't wilt the way
that deities do, you solipsist:
you're just a suicide drone.

a poem on the inner workings of my chaotic mind
it isn't like i'm
lazy or anything it's just that
the thought of getting lost
in a crowd of ten or more people
makes me want to puke.
this is not just some
stupid little hang-up that you can
joke about when i'm
digging my fingernails into my palm so
hard that blood is drawn as we walk through
school hallways so packed that it feels
like we're suffocating from too much
oxygen but i just grit my teeth and
laugh "yeah, i know, i just don't like
being around people sometimes."
but you know,
there's just something about the way
my mother says "go out and have a life
and stop looking like the world
betrays you every day"

i am a magenta february.
Winter
is still clinging
to my skin,
with Autumn
sleeping within the tangles
of my night witch hair.
65 days to learn

sun kissed fingers
wrapped around
my throat, giggles
knowingly in my ear.
I have misplaced my
reckless disaster
of a heart
so many times,
I’m not even sure
it ever existed
at all.
But knuckles,
they never lie-
pressed flowers,
lipstick stained
against my
uprooted spine.
Covered in frost
& silence
I am a magenta
February-
the imprint of teeth
that bruised centuries
between me
& bed sheets.
Literature
suicidal.
it’s like she’s toeing the edge of a cliff and
she’s smiling and she’s deadly
and you’re standing too far back to save her
and it’s just too late because she’s about
to jump.

if you want a list of reasons not to commit suicide,
here it is.
1. you have two dogs that will miss you.
they were wagging their tails and smiling
last night when they took you to the hospital
and i couldn’t find the words to tell them
that they should be quiet.
2. you have a car that you cried when you got
and you roll the windows down and blast music
whenever you pick me up from school
and i’m sorry i nev
