- Death Rides a Bike
Let go, without me,
no one lives on,
a wound with no blood.
Childhood memories being arm deep in an animal carcass,
being sorry for the way people felt about things I didn’t do,
in the past held down and engaged upon sexually,
arguments that never end but rise up once again.
- Famine
Restricted perspective,
Constructed perception,
Cryptic confession,
Futile transmission.
I am our collective fear of dying of hunger,
running down the mountain bloody,
I will bite all of our necks
- Feast
I’ve seen police turn and run from it,
entire cities shut down.
I’ve seen the world spell-bound by it,
mute to the sound.
I’ve felt the ghost fire of it,
when we break the rules in a crowd.
If you want to be a part of it,
speak it aloud.
- Gouging Out the Eye of Providence
On a path from divine love,
to something that makes sense in the heart,
I’m ripping out these nails,
to turn this cross upside down,
once again, this myth to upset,
an order imposed by god,
breaking this cage in the heart,
for a conscientious love.
- Moth Bites
Moth dust filled up the room like a downpour of cinders caught in a sunbeam,
particulates wafted on the breeze pushed by the flutter of filthy wings,
they spun, spun like the web catching dew in the morning woven by spiders,
or like a spinning galaxy, stars overhead in the system of chaotic catastrophe.
Carried away by light,
carried away on flame.
- Swimming the Witch
Created the false dichotomy,
between Lilith and Mary,
choked out by patriarchy,
and told a lie of genetic prophecy,
Fuck your test to see if we fit the mold,
witches will scream until our stories are told.
born of western cultural fears,
under the boot for ten thousand years.
- Urban Graves for Fetal Sharks
This shit happened to my dad,
on a pedestal he was sacrificed,
for outing the US government,
for improperly disposing of nuclear waste,
they took away his livelihood and name,
for trying to do what’s right.
I watched the once strong man I knew,
disappear into the night.
