stripping

A labyrinthine overcoat of sentiment and unwashed goats and lost love notes and dead end roads seen dropped at the scene of burst seams and bursitis, the worst dreams that incite us to walk on our knees while the earth underneath rumbles solemn, rumbles deep, crumbles promise, stumbles honest, fuck the majesty of madness, fuck the mazes that we weave to make ourselves as kings and queens. I was never a wizard and I've hated to jump since before I could dance so why did I wind myself up like a goddess? I was a child, so were you; not a monster, not a dead end, not a rapist, not a legend. They fucked us; fucked us up; sprouted us like beans in a styrofoam cup, tossed us on compost made of money and lost hope, now I'm broke up on big rocks taking off my overcoat,
a labyrinthine overcoat of
sentiment and
unwashed goats and
lost love notes and
dead end roads
seen dropped at the
scene of
burst seams and
bursitis,
the worst dreams that
incite us to
walk on our knees while
the earth underneath
rumbles solemn,
rumbles deep,
crumbles promise,
stumbles honest.
Fuck the majesty of madness.
Fuck the mazes that
we weave to make ourselves as
kings and queens.

I was never a wizard and
I've hated to jump since before
I could dance
so why did I wind myself up like a
goddess? I was a child,
so were you; not a
monster, not a
dead end, not a
rapist, not a
legend.

They fucked us;
fucked us up;
sprouted us like beans in a
styrofoam cup
tossed us on compost made of
money and lost hope.

Now I'm broke up on
big rocks,
taking off
my overcoat.
