two arms and a heart-
what a beautiful trap,
what magnificent art!

are you sorry
are you sorry you ever saw me?
do you hate me
for promising i’d never hurt you
and lying?i’ve only shown you new ways to
hurt for the same old reasons
i’ve only made myself someone
you can’t really believe in.

love child of earth and blood
and purpling sky, with
eyes that need only glance
to pry
open doors that have long been
bolted shut.
those eyes
a mix of dirt and blood;
sway me into a
drunken stupor, consume me
with your cabernet eyes.
cabernet eyes // a.s.m
when did everything die?
when did flowers seep into the
dirt and birds become the sky?
when did the wind become still?
when did it all escape my mind?
when did it all go black and white?
wet weekend // a.s.m
i don’t know anything, it seems
inspiration meets me in my dreams
and dissolves in the light
of the sun.

i rolled a five
on the night skythe heavens say we’re tied
i’m tired
of playing with dicewho knows where we’ll land
tomorrow.
a storm just rolled in // a.s.m
by your side
i dream of other skies
other times
even other citiesin two-car gridlock
bittersweet stalemate
no moves to make but
everything at stakei dream of breaking the
glass and bleeding
and healing.
gridlock // a.s.m
i lost my mind
somewhere between June
and July
when it all turned to sand
and i could no longer make sense
of cities and skies.
Vaults and pianos // a.s.m
i yearn for her now,
amid car horns and
coffee-stained sidewalks.
under bare, lifeless sky,
i long for her shade.
these streets are swarmed, but
there is no life until
the wind blows and i am
reminded she is here, among the
hard highways of Houston;
she is waiting for me
to find her.
life after lights // a.s.m
please don’t love me.
nobody knows better
than i,
it will be a waste of time.
i’d love your eyes more than
any eyes in my life,
i’d lose myself in them
for weeks at a time and
wake up hungover in
strange places.
well eyes // a.s.m
